　　Secondhand Goods

　　In recent years, second-hand transactions have become quite common. Nowadays there aremore and more secondhand goods in the market, such as secondhand books, furniture,appliances, cars, and so on. Why do so many people like to buy secondhand goods?

　　The following reasons can account for this phenomenon. Above all, secondhand goods arecheaper than new ones. This enables those people who have poor financial abilities to buy thethings they want. Moreover, secondhand goods transactions make it possible for people tomake good use of the goods which may be useless in their hands. Besides, Internet provides amore convenient and quicker transaction platform for secondhand goods.

　　However, there are also some problems in secondhand goods transactions. For one thing,the quality of secondhand goods can not be promised and you can not enjoy the good after-sale service. For another, secondhand goods market lacks enough supervision andmanagement, and there exist many dishonest business activities. In a word, I think secondhandgoods transaction is a good trading way, but it needs further perfection of the rules.
