Hi,

What is the difference between "secondhand" and "used"?
Which is correct "secondhand car" or "used car",
"secondhand video recorder" or "used video recorder ",
"secondhand clothes" or "used clothes"?

They are commonly interchanged. Occasionally, 'second-hand' is used to mean 'only one previous owner'.
