Second-hand = Cool and Trendy!

The Indianapolis Star: Bargain hunters such as Harmon are making resale stores one of the fastest-growing segments in retailing, according to the National Association of Resale & Thrift Shops, a trade organization.
These stores no longer are dingy places where shoppers on shoestring budgets sift through mountains of musty-smelling clothes and junk to find one valuable item. Most resale stores today are as clean, well-lit and sleek as any discount store, and filled with racks of clothing bearing labels such as Ann Taylor and Banana Republic.
With fresher looks, brand names and low prices, these stores now butt heads with their counterparts in the malls and shopping centers across Indiana and the nation.
They are claiming more holiday shopping dollars from shoppers intent on frugality or funky items. They are luring shoppers by selling new items, offering gift certificates and discounts and promotions for the season that celebrates Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa.
Yes, used or recycled merchandise is trendy.
