How to buy from customer?

Question

I buy and sell used items.  I am still trialing Odoo and have figured out how to add inventory and sell stuff via POS, but can't figure out a way to buy direct from customers. Is this possible with Odoo?  Am I missing a module or obvious steps?
It doesn't feel like the Purchase module is the right thing.  It's a buy/sell store.  Customers walk in and sell me stuff, usually for store credit. I turn around and resell it.  Invoicing isn't something that ever enters the equation.  Ever deal with Gam

Hi,
by 'buy' do you mean that a customer is also you supplier? If so:
install the module 'purchase'
Go to a customer form, on the tab 'Sales & Purchases' check the box 'Is a vendor'
Go to the purchase menu and create a purchase order for this customer.
If you mean that you would like to manage returns from a customer (like 'buy back'). Then:
For POS look at, e.g.: https://www.odoo.com/documentation/user/11.0/point_of_sale/shop/refund.html
For Sales: in a delivery, and in a invoice you would have
