Second-hand shopping is big in some countries like the UK and Australia. When people get tired of their clothes, or they have too many things, they sometimes give them to second-hand shops. Second-hand charity shops use the money from the goods they sell to help people who are ill or have problems. And recently these shops have become very popular with teens because you can find different, fun, cheap items! This is what three second-hand shoppers said.

Here in Australia, we call it "op shopping" – that's opportunity shopping, so you find something and you're like "Wow! This is so cool and it's so cheap!" My friends and I love op shopping, and we go quite a lot. But the main time for us to do it is when we have a school festival. We have to find crazy clothes in one colour, last year it was yellow! That's when op shops are great!

My Dad used to go to country markets looking for items to collect, and I remember once when I was about 9 years old, he gave me £5.00 and told me to buy whatever I wanted. It was great. I got a toy train. I was keen on second-hand staff from that day! Last week I bought a really cool 1980s leather jacket for not much at all! You have to look carefully, and there are things that you don't want, you know because they're old or damaged. But the fun is in the search!

My favourite hobby is reading. I just love it. And so all the second-hand bookshops are just wonderful for me! I spend hours in them! A few months ago a new second-hand bookshop opened in my town. It's interesting because it's actually a house, and the owner has put all the cookbooks in the kitchen – how creative is that! It's great because you see books that you didn't know about and also you can discover old books – and as they are second-hand, the price is right!
