FoundEtc is Built for Secondhand
A Note from Nate, Founder of FoundEtc
"I’ve always loved wandering through flea markets and secondhand shops. There’s something special about discovering an item you weren’t even looking for... something with history, character, or just a story waiting to be continued.
But over time I noticed something. So many incredible items sit inside local shops, booths, and markets, yet they’re almost impossible to find unless you happen to walk past the right place at the right time.
At the same time, today’s shoppers are used to searching for what they want and instantly knowing where to go.
That's when I came up with the simple idea: what if secondhand could be just as searchable, while still keeping the local, personal experience that makes it special?
That’s what we’re building."
Our Mission:
FoundEtc was created to make secondhand easier to discover while supporting the local shops, vendors, and marketplaces that make it special. By bringing the inventory of secondhand sellers online, we help more people experience the joy of finding something unique while keeping great items in circulation.
