These aren't your Goodwill and Salvation Army stores. Sure, they have clothes and they have that weird recycle store smell. But they also have electric guitars, fancy digital cameras, collector figurines, washers and dryers, and an assortment of designer handbags (which aren't very cheap). Some stores even sell rims. Recycle shops in Japan are amazing. You can buy almost new stuff for a fairly decent price.
We have 3 decent recycle shops in Kushiro, and my friend and I visited all of them in search of a snowboard with bindings and boots. I was on a mission today to buy a snowboard since it's snowboarding season and will be for the next 4 months or so. I came out with a snowboard with bindings (5800) but had to buy new boots (6900) at the sports store. It didn’t seem like such a bad deal, except that my boots cost more than the board and bindings. But I figured it was cheaper than buying an entirely new set of everything. And my board and bindings are pretty nice for the price I paid. I was expecting to spend a lot more than I did today, so it was a good day of shopping. Now just time to hit the slopes!
