　　On the Pros and Cons for the Second-Hand Economy or Lifestyle

　　【1】As a celebrity once stated, "Second chances are hard to come by, but things are another matter: they can have a second, third or even fourth life,". The manifestation of the second-hand economy is second-hand transaction, when consumers tend to purchase the goods used by enterprises, agents and retailers for a period of time and then trade and circulate them as a new kind of goods. Depreciated or unused second-hand goods in the hands of consumers are sold as new goods, such as old household appliances, cars, real estate, digital products, musical instruments, collections, etc.

　　【2正】The motivation for buying and selling used is interesting: it's basically about saving money or getting rid of excess stuff. On the other hand, people's consumption patterns are thus becoming more and more ecologically intelligent. The practice of the second-hand economy in Japan, for example, has best proved its thorough social and commercial value. Japan puts forward the concept of "urban mine" in the 1980s, believing that there are various valuable resources in a large amount of urban garbage, especially e-waste, just like a mine. Tokyo environmental recycling company, the largest electronic equipment recycling company in Japan, has realized the transformation from a recycling plant to a resource creation plant. Relying on advanced technology, Tokyo environmental recycling company has gradually increased the rate of renewable resources, and achieved zero emissions in Japan for the first time.

　　【3反】Second-hand economy also has certain blemishes. Above all, it produces character problem easily. As a buyer, it is difficult to tell whether there is an individual seller on the other side of the transaction or an organization specialized in reselling. The information asymmetry between the two parties is too serious. Secondly, there are safety problems in the second-hand lifestyle. It mainly involves property safety and personal safety, mostly pertaining to human health. Finally, there is the problem of secondary economy logistics distribution. Due to the particularity of commodities and the fact that most of the two parties involved in the transaction are scattered individuals, there is a problem of the inadequate mutual trust. The damage caused by the logistics process has also become a time bomb of trade disputes from time to time.

　　【4】All in all, the currently globalized second-hand economy or living style is redefining the social paradigm of consumption, as the second-hand goods are gradually assuming the core functions in the family economy. People are learning to embrace a new philosophy of consumption, especially in the financial crisis, where selling and reusing used goods is both a way to save money as well as to make up for impulse/impulsive purchasing.
