With rising prices as a backdrop, the market for reuse, where items used once are reused, is expanding. We visited a site where unwanted items are bought, which increase during the spring cleaning season. ■The reuse market expands with rising prices A man in his 50s said, "It's the New Year's holiday season, so I've cleaned up and brought a lot of (unwanted items) because I've got a lot of them. Mostly clothes." The man came to a reuse shop to have his unwanted items bought. Have you thrown away the clothes you no longer wear that came out of your year-end cleaning? In fact, the asset value of the unwanted items you plan to throw away during the year-end and New Year's cleaning is said to be equivalent to 85,000 yen per person. Clothing accessories make up the largest proportion of the asset value, which means that if you throw away the clothes that have been lying around your home, you could end up losing money. A large number of tangled ties were found in the garbage bag the man brought in. There were also about 150 items such as sweatshirts. Even so, the desired purchase price was a modest 1,000 yen. An hour after the appraisal began. Salesperson: "Click here for the quotation." We paid 3,430 yen for 38 items. Man in his 50s: "Today it was a little expensive, so I thought it might be a good idea." However, we were not able to pay more than 100 items, so we had to take them home. A man came to sell shoes and sandals from a popular brand. Man in his 30s: "Since my child was born, I don't dress up as much anymore." The desired price was 100,000 yen for 3 items, but... Man in his 30s: "(They paid) 36,000 yen for one pair of sandals." We were given some tips on how to get a high price for items other than these brand-name items. Treasure Factory Kamiitabashi Store Manager Okai Azusa: "When it comes to heating appliances and clothing, down coats and down jackets are expensive..." At this time of year, it's not summer clothes, but winter clothes. Then along came... Man in his 60s: "Good timing, right? I have three cats, and if I leave these here, they'll definitely break them." He seemed confident that the Christmas tree was perfect for the time of year, but... A man in his 60s said, "It was only 100 or 200 yen. I bought some bread or something and that was it." Apparently, because the condition of the items was not very good, it ended up being a small amount. The reuse market, which deals in these second-hand goods, is currently growing rapidly. It is estimated that the size of the reuse market will exceed 3 trillion yen in 2023, roughly doubling in 10 years. This is thought to be due to consumers becoming more frugal due to rising prices and a weak yen. In addition to buying, this store also sells items, so in addition to clothing, you can buy a variety of items such as home appliances and daily necessities. There may be treasures hidden in your home too. [TV Asahi News] https://news.tv-asahi.co.jp
