To deal and to sell secondhand goods is lucrative, because dealing with these goods offers some nice easements in comparison with new goods. Many merchants take advantage of the high demand of second hand products since sustainability is the actual trend.
Cancelation right
If a consumer buys a product from the internet he has a cancelation right (§ 312 g BGB). But there are exclusion criterias for some goods like perishable goods. If the law does not include some products to the exclusion criterion, you have to assume that the consumer has a cancelation right.
Second hand goods do not appear in the legal exclusion criterion. Which means, for these goods applies the regular cancelation right. This right does not have any influence on the age neither on the state of the secondhand good. A different regulation is not permissible and can be admonished. The same applies to B-stock which are sold as not used.
Conclusion
The cancelation right also includes secondhand goods. However, we can mention the positive fact that secondhand goods do not need as many information obligation as new goods. For example the special product identification like the energylabel.
