2nd Hand Store – Boronia
Tucked away inside The Mall Boronia, 2nd Hand Store is a local gem offering a one-of-a-kind shopping experience, where every visit feels a little like a treasure hunt.
Founded by Tom and his friend, this family-run business started as a side hustle selling video game-related products on eBay back in 2014. With growing demand and a loyal customer base, Tom opened a physical storefront in 2016 and eventually moved into the heart of Boronia in 2020, right after the COVID-19 lockdowns. Born in Taiwan, Tom credits a friend for introducing him to the world of second-hand retail, a path that has since grown into a passion and a business.
At its core, 2nd Hand Store is focused on sustainability and community. “We want to provide people with a fun and affordable way to buy or sell, recycle instead of landfill,” Tom explains. Whether you're after classic video games, quirky collectibles, or everyday surprises, there’s always something new on the shelves. And for those wanting to declutter, the store offers instant cash for selected items, no hassle required.
“Our customers appreciate the ever-changing range,” says Tom. “You never know what you'll find. Some come in regularly just to see what’s new, it’s like treasure hunting.”
It’s not just about the products, though. Tom values the strong sense of community that Boronia offers. “The locals are friendly, the business community looks out for each other, and there’s a real feeling of connection beyond just transactions,” he says. “Every customer is important to us. The better we support each other; the stronger Boronia becomes.”
Looking ahead, Tom hopes to grow the store’s presence even further and continue offering innovative, interesting products that keep customers coming back. While the shop might be small in size, its heart, and its role in the local economy, is anything but.
So, if you're in Boronia and love a good bargain or a rare find, stop by 2nd Hand Store at 19B/50 Dorset Square. You might just uncover your next favourite thing.
