No. Plukio indexes the current catalogs of independent shops, so everything you'll find is a new item sold by the shop itself. For secondhand and collectibles, a marketplace like eBay is the better tool.

Is Plukio affiliated with eBay?

An honest caveat

eBay does things Plukio doesn't even attempt: auctions, used and vintage goods, collectibles, rare finds. If you're hunting secondhand, eBay is the right tool. Plukio is for the other trip — new goods, bought new, directly from the independent shop that makes and sells them.
