A lot of folks in finland still very much adore the the second hand store thing, where you can buy someone else old dusty sweater for 2 euros. I guess if you're looking some throwback seventies stuff, that's the best place to look from but still everyone's somehow so proud about shopping in the "flea market", here in finland that is. Hey it's good that folks can recycle their clothing and all but still I never really understood why it's such an it thing still here. But each their own, heh. I guess it all comes back to the functionality of symbolic value and perceived image of the good.
