A second-hand shop is a shop which sells goods that are not new. There are various types of second-hand shop, generally specialising in a particular type of merchandise. *Antique shop - sells the same type of goods, either of better quality or with rarity value, consequently charging much higher prices. The distinction between junk and antiques is not always clear-cut. *Charity shop - similar to a junk shop but set up to fund a specific charity. These tend to specialise in clothes. The quality of the clothes donated for sale depends on the surrounding area. In the United States, these are called thrift stores. *Consignment - consignment shop is the North American term for a second-hand shop. *Give-away shop - everything is given away at no cost. Some operate as swap shops and require the customer to donate merchandise. *Junk shop - sells all kinds of old goods. The best junk shops are piled high to encourage browsing and bargain hunting. These shops also sell low-quality antiques. *Surplus store - often sells military surplus supplies. *Used bookstore - sells used books and other publications. Second-hand bookshops are a mainstay of book towns. *Office furniture shops selling mainly used goods are common, but lack a distinctive name. *Vintage clothing shop - often a source of good quality garments. *Used cars - Pre-owned cars with variable quality and price *eBay - Website that allows people to sell new or used products *Craigslist - Website that allows people to sell or give away goods and services, primarily targeted to the local community == Temporary Venues == People will sell used goods right in front of their home in what is called a "garage sale". The products would be set up in front of the garage. In the UK, people buy and sell at a car boot sale. Sellers will drive their vehicles to a large field, laden with products both used and new, and sell out of their boot. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Second-hand shop」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
