Second-hand sales are not counted in GDP because GDP measures the value of newly produced goods and services within a specific time period. When a second-hand item is sold, it does not represent new production; instead, it is a transfer of ownership of an existing product. Including second-hand sales would lead to double counting, as the original production of the item would have already been included in GDP when it was first sold. Thus, only new economic activity is considered in GDP calculations.
