Everywhere! - But essentially, used items come from other peoples homes. Children outgrow their clothes and cribs - Young families outgrow their first homes - Expanding careers require relocation and fancier furniture - It isn’t always a sad story , even when it goes in the other direction. Grown children leave home & the parents downsize - Retired folks sell their homes & move “somewhere warm“ - Every day, houses are sold, the new owners need them empty, and the contents enter the resale market.
Junk is a resale shop, which means we sell items that have been offered for sale before - most are used , but many are deadstock - that is to say, pre-owned but unused - which brings us to the real topic of today’s blog entry . . .
about the stores
I loved your post! I'm a second-hand store owner in central PA and I get the same questions all the time. My prices are very low (I still make money) don't ask me to give you a discount because it looks like its been worn before (no, I'm not kidding). It's a second-hand store for gosh sake! The next time I'm up your way I'll be sure to stop in.
