A wishlist does not have to imply that every gift must be newly purchased. If a pre-owned book, game or decorative item would be welcome, say so directly. Explain which details matter: a complete set, readable pages or a particular edition may be more important than an untouched box. Separate cosmetic wear you are comfortable with from a missing part that would prevent the item being used. Avoid describing every second-hand option as equivalent; the person choosing still needs enough information to judge the specific item.

The English-language [KUBADUBA wishlist](https://kubaduba.com/) offers a place to collect suggestions and explain the preferences behind them. Use a short note to make clear that choosing something pre-owned is optional, rather than an instruction to search many marketplaces. Where an exact item is difficult to identify, suggest discussing it together before a purchase. Check photographs and descriptions carefully, and leave uncertain details as questions for the seller. Stating a genuine preference gives friends more room to choose without making assumptions about what condition the recipient would find acceptable.
