Students: Tell us about your notable secondhand acquisitions, whether you were given them by a friend or family member, or found them in a store or market or online. Why do you think people like flea markets and antique and junk shops? For you, is buying secondhand items more about saving money or about hand-choosing unusual or specialty items that say something important about who you are?

my notable secondhand acquisitions was Marshalls. I think just because the flea market or antique shops are not in styl very much, i still think that the clothing brand that they have are still useable
I’ve gotten some great deals at Marshall’s, but as far as I know, none of their merchandise is secondhand.
