Second hand Items you purchased and love

It felt like another tricky # Bloghop  prompt for the week . I was wondering how do I address the topic when presto I had it, the one thing I happily bought over the years...








Not being in general,  a fan of second hand goods

the topic stumped me for some time...

then  the bulb flashed- It's books of course!  

one thing the value of which doesn't diminish 

by a change of hands... 


On the foot paths of Indian cities, small little shops 

you can find them all- fiction, nonfiction, text books

romance, crime, management books, you name it! 


Some good finds for me, were books 

on self help, communication, networking 

health tips, Reiki,  naturopathy, magnet therapy

spirituality,  HR insights, mystery, court room drama...


Apprehensions, doubts, fears of wrong choice

vanish when it's books you are buying! 

After all, you know the author and buy

what you relate to, what you love! 

a  material worth much more than its physical value

to some,  simply priceless!

  4. Rarely people come across about second hand articles especially books nowadays. About 30 years back, Moore market was a favorite stop for anything and everything. Pycropts road in Triplicane was next stop. Now the craze is for automobile and electronic devices. The trend changes over a time but the interest isn't. It has become part of culture and convenience.
