Early on Saturday morning. Many of the world are still in bed, enjoying another hours or two of sleep. But a few of Americans are up and r1.to go. They plan to be the first to arrive at the yard-sales. What are these yard-sale shoppers looking for? Secondhand things, of course. Yard-sale shoppers aren’t the only people who like used goods. From Australia to the USA, westerners love to buy other people’s things. E2. the rich people look for an antique (古玩) among used goods. Some people buy used goods to save money, others do that to c3. antiques.

How old is old?

For those in Asia. 5, 000-year-old antiques sit in museums. Western antiques are not so old. But American goods even more than twenty years old have value. An ice-cream maker from the 1920s could be $50.S4. from World War I could sell for $4,000 or more.

Some people own old things because they want to make money from them. They go to classes and read books to learn which goods will have more value or are liked by collectors. Others simply buy old things they think interesting. Those who do not want to make money from the old goods say, “Don't buy it u5. it's useful.”

Where to find them?

Secondhand goods can be found in a variety of places. Saturday morning yard sales are the r6. places for those who start to take up the hobby. The flea(跳蚤)market is another place. You won't find fleas, but you may find a wide variety of old things.

Shopping at a flea market for the first time is not easy. You have to look t7. things patiently and carefully to find something you really want.
