Thesis abstract :

This research focuses on the behavior of buyers on second-hand platforms. Can the passion for purchasing fashion items lead some consumers to overconsumption on second-hand platforms? Indeed, this question addresses the risks posed by some consumers’ passion for fashion, which can turn into obsessive and addictive behavior towards second-hand platforms. The initial results of an exploratory study show a trend towards overconsumption (intensive consumption) and raise the question of dependency among certain consumers.
