If google returned the used item site for "kitchen sink" and nobody clicked on that result, it would be easy for an algorithm to make the connection that this is a bad result that shouldn't be ranked very high.
In my country we have a website that has complete monopoly over sales of used items, services etc. I'm always amazed that Google is able to determine and put it in top 3 results for a wide majority of searches. "laptop mouse" brings up that site, but "kitchen sink" doesn’t, presumably because people don’t buy used sinks.
