Why Do People Shop Second-Hand? a Second-Hand Shoppers’ Motivation Scale in a French Context
This article provides a measure of motivations for buying second-hand. After defining this alternative means of supply in the market, we specify the characteristics of the phenomenon in a French context and the motivations they lead to. Following a qualitative study conducted with 15 second-hand purchasers and two data collections from 708 individuals, we present a reliable, 7-dimension valid scale that can be used in a disaggregated or aggregated way to predict behaviors linked to second-hand purchasing as well as economic practices such as recycling and recreational behaviors such as browsing.
