how to get secondhand stationary for journaling?

trying to avoid getting new markers and pens and stamps however i would really like them.

there has to be people out there who started a journaling hobby and left it.

however searching in local facebook groups is weirdly challenging. i search "calendar stamps" and i get either calendars or stamps, or neither (?) same for marketplace.

i also find that buying secondhand online, like ebay, seems to be weirdly just as or more expensive (also same for marketplace. why?)

in the end i just buy nothing but when i get back to journaling im like man i could really use some new highlighters rn.

i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong, any tips? i wish there were some accessible/convenient way for artists to sell or exchange excess supplies. what do i do? buy clearance maybe? is there a reddit group or website for secondhand stationary?
