Second hand in Helsinki

Описание: My name is Mio. I am a small Yorkshire terrier. I'll show you what you can buy in a Finnish second hand store. It is not customary for Finns to throw away things that can still be used. Therefore, they take them to second-hand shops, where anyone can then buy them.
Finns actively buy household items or clothes in second-hand stores. They believe that why buy something new when you can find a suitable item several times cheaper.
Second hand shops are divided into several types. There are stores that rent out shelves. Anyone can rent these shelves and sell things at their own prices. And there are other stores where people give away their things for free and the store itself sets the price.
Shopping in second-hand stores is not only a sign of the famous Finnish modesty, but also a sign of a quiet consumer revolution. Although fifteen years ago nothing foreshadowed this revolution. Clients of social services, convinced marginals and some collectors went to flea markets. Buyers from Russia also made wholesale purchases here. The middle class preferred IKEA and mass market. And then came the two thousand and tenths. Hipsters appeared, and with them came the fashion for retro in clothes and interiors, eco-friendliness and carelessness. And now everyone goes to flea markets.
Even with the most pragmatic approach, visiting a second-hand store differs from shopping in its special excitement. For some, this activity resembles a "silent hunt" - mushroom picking. For others, it's a quest game with an unspecified set of artifacts that need to be found and recognized, relying only on one's own intuition.
