Have you ever bought second-hand things? Will you choose to buy them? What do you think of them? Nowadays, second-hand things are popular, from clothing and books to electronic products.
People have made more money in recent years and bought more things than they really need. To live a simple life, some people start selling second-hand things at a low price. The good prices catch people's eye, as well as the fact that buying second-hand things is good for the environment. Here we interviewed three people.
Zhang Wei, a book lover, often uses Deja Vu to buy second-hand books. He searches for the books he likes and adds them to his shopping cart(购物车), just like on any other shopping site. The difference is that the books are much cheaper—as much as 70 percent cheaper than new books. "As a student, I don't have much money, so it's a perfect choice for me," Zhang said.
"Buying old books can connect readers together." Zhao Lin, a 22-year-old college student, once found a note in a second-hand book she bought. "Its owner shared her thoughts and hoped I would enjoy the book. It was so heart-warming," Zhao said. "It is a great inspiration(激励) to me and I have got much strength from the words on it. I think it's more
valuable than a new book."
Chen Jie, a college student in Shanghai, likes buying second-hand things. When it comes to the reason, she said, "Second-hand things have memories. Owning a special thing which has its old stories brings back memories of the owner. It doesn't matter how much money we spend on a thing—we just find the right thing that fits us. I love this feeling behind the thing."
