A used good is one that is not new or a resource that has been partially or completely depleted. When a person gives an item of some value that they have used to someone else, typically an acquaintance or family member, it is sometimes referred to as a "hand-me-down".

Used items can often be found for sale in thrift stores and pawnshops, as well as Internet auction sites. Some stores will take used items in exchange for credit toward the purchase of newer goods. The strategy of buying used items is sometimes employed to save money, as they are typically worth less than the equivalent new items. Purchasing used items for reuse may also prevent them from becoming waste.

It is believed that the phrase hand-me-down may have originated in London's East End markets in the 18th century. Vendors would typically keep their new, more expensive clothing at street level, while keeping their older, used clothing on racks that were elevated out of reach. To purchase the later, buyers would have to ask the stall owner to "hand me down" a particular piece of clothing.
