To sell something that has been previously purchased, often for profit. Common in retail, real estate, and secondary markets.
From prefix 're-' (again) + 'sell' (Old English 'sellan'). The concept became prominent with commercial trade and the development of secondary markets in medieval times.
The resale market has exploded with online platforms, creating entirely new economies around everything from sneakers to luxury handbags. Some limited-edition items are now purchased specifically for resale, turning retail shopping into a form of investment speculation.
