Early the next morning, the contents of Saturday's secondhand goods auction became the focus of public discussion.
The economy is in a downturn, unemployment is high, but the level of consumption will not and cannot fall back, causing many families' needs to remain perpetually within the realm of planning.
Previously, in Sabin City and throughout the entire Federation, there were places for trading secondhand goods. For example, in some alleys in Lower City, people would cheaply dispose of items stolen from elsewhere, mostly clothing.
Many times antique shops would also collect some secondhand goods that appeared relatively new. Besides antique shops, there were small specialized stores that recycled secondhand appliances, as well as actual pawnshops.
However, pawnshops in Bail Federal are not the same as those in another world. In Bail Federal, pawnshops only deal in luxury goods. They have no interest in business that might be worth only a few bucks.
