Would you give used garage/rummage sale item as a gift to a loved one? Would you tell them?

There is someone in most everyone’s life who are not easy people to buy gifts for. They have everything, or buy what they want, themselves. They always get you the perfect gift. Sometimes, you know that it cost them a lot of money.
You keep an eye out all year in case the perfect thing for a gift appears. You are at a garage sale. Or at a organization’s rumage sale. Or scrolling through used items on eBay.
There it is! It is the perfect gift for this friend! It isn’t an antique nor particularly rare item, but it’s perfect for them!
It is used. It is evident that it belonged to someone else. You aren’t sure exactly where it came from, or under what circumstances it ended up here.
What do you do?
If you get it for them, will you explain how you found it?
