There are also vendors exchanging ancient coins. Purple 50-yuan and green 200-yuan bills were used by the rich when they were children. I wonder if the rich man’s unspent expired 500 yuan consumer coupon will have commemorative value in the future (laughs). There are also loose coins on the side to dig for treasure. And foreign banknotes

Some out-of-print CDs, music cassettes, and vinyl records bear witness to the history of technological development. I really miss it. If you buy a cassette, you don't have to worry about not being able to play it. The owners of other stalls are selling cassette players, so that's right. Remember to test it before buying.

The vendors selling tools, including vises, wire cutters, wrenches, etc., reminded the rich man of the gold medal spies who came to Yilan a few weeks ago. Some tools are really only used less than once a year. With environmental awareness rising, it is actually acceptable to buy second-hand. Friends who need tools temporarily or those who like DIY may come here to try their luck.

rich man experience

Going to the Xichang Street second-hand market is really like stepping back in time. The products sold by the vendors are really retro. It seems to be the scene of shopping when I was a child, and it reminds me of the rich man.Osu Kannon Antique Market in Nagoya, Japan, recommended to friends who like treasure hunting. There are famous attractions and snacks such as Bopiliao Historic District, Longshan Temple, Huaxi Street, Guangzang Night Market and so on nearby. Friends who come to Taipei can arrange it together in their itinerary.

The rich man accidentally came to the Xichang Street second-hand market. In the afternoon, the vendors began to set up stalls one after another. There were about 50 stalls here. Most of the goods sold were second-hand goods. The bosses were very casual. , greeting regular customers like good old friends

In addition to second-hand antiques, there is also a row of massage ladies standing on the wall in the arcade next to it (laughing). A wonderful scene is waiting for you to experience.
