A Quarter-Century of Trusted Resale
At Used Products, we have over 60 shops across seven European countries. What makes us special is our focus on buying, selling, and pawning a wide range of sustainable products, both new and second-hand. We offer instant (cash) money to customers for their items, and then, with every purchase, we provide a warranty.
What sets us apart is our unique combination of physical shops and a strong online presence. This allows us to serve our customers exceptionally well, meeting a diverse set of needs efficiently and with a lot of expertise. With more than 25 years of experience in supporting franchisees, we offer a franchise formula that’s not only sustainable but also ready for the future.
Our goal is to create shops that go beyond the typical second-hand shop. We want our shops to look and feel just like brand-new retail stores, providing a comfortable environment where customers feel right at home. This dedication to quality and customer comfort is what makes us different from other second-hand stores, offering a shopping experience that’s truly one-of-a-kind and top-notch

Maximizing Value, Minimizing Cost
At Used Products, we pride ourselves on our ‘soft’ franchise model, a harmonious blend of uniformity and individuality. While we ensure the core values and operations remain consistent across all our franchises, we also recognize and celebrate the uniqueness each store brings. Recognizing potential savings is part of our DNA. If a franchise location already boasts a quality wooden floor, even if it’s not precisely as we’d usually prefer, but retains it saves €8,000, we say, “Let’s keep it.” Find a second-hand display cabinet in mint condition for €600 rather than the standard €900?
We embrace such opportunities. This philosophy is not just about cutting costs; it’s about smart investments. By keeping the initial outlay as low as possible, we accelerate the journey to the break-even point. This approach ensures that our partners start on a strong footing, emphasizing sustainability and fiscal responsibility right from the get-go. Join us in redefining franchising, where flexibility meets profitability.
