The Second-Hand Store, Castlerea 2.81

It's no longer a cause of embarrassment to admit that what you're wearing is second-hand. Time was we used to boast about how much we spent on an item, nowadays we rave about how much we have saved!

The popular perception is that second-hand shops are largely full of junk, yet the rise of vintage fashion, art and the increasing desire for consumer individuality show that second-hand shopping is also very much about style. People find very valuable things in second-hand shops everyday, not just run-of-the-mill collectibles. They find everything from diamonds to signed first edition books. In recent years, vintage art is proving to be a worthwhile purchase in second-hand shops, especially for those in-the-know. You too could have your ‘Del Boy’ moment!!!!

With today's declining economy and increasing cost of living, many people are trying to find ways to cut back on cost without cutting back on luxury. As many people look for ways to cut spending, they are snatching up clothes, jewellery, furniture, and even toys that other people previously owned.
