Amid global resource constraints and environmental concerns, the second-hand economy is gaining attention as an emerging sustainable economic model, though public awareness and acceptance remain limited. Community interaction in the second-hand economy enhances shopping experiences by facilitating information exchanges and sharing user insights, which in turn boosts platform credibility and user satisfaction. Additionally, it promotes resource sharing, strengthens neighborhood connections, and cultivates a harmonious and collaborative community atmosphere, thereby enhancing community cohesion and enriching the overall social value. Therefore, establishing an immersive, sustainable, and interactive experiential model that emphasizes the value of second-hand products in fostering creativity and cultural participation is essential. This approach helps shape social and cultural identity within the second-hand economy, strengthens community cohesion, and promotes sustainable development. However, current research lacks theoretical exploration of how community interaction supports sustainable development in the second-hand economy and its impact on user experience. In light of this, examining the relationships among experience design, community interaction, and the second-hand economy is crucial. Additionally, there′s a lack of user evaluation and feedback in socio-cultural interactions, as well as support for cultural product experiences. This study aims to investigate the mechanisms of a cultural exchange experience model based on the integration of community interaction and the second-hand economy. It seeks to design a novel retro-image community experience for second-hand camera shopping and photography creation scenarios, thereby providing new insights and pathways for advancing the development of this field.
