[QUOTE="bluemoon, post: 138114, member: 1296"]I strongly believe that the market today is oversaturated due to the internet. Everyone sells everything and anything that has even a little bit of value and every basement has been cleared out. Plus, less people buy those things (because you can't accidentally find something valuable at the flea market anymore.. every place has the same high prices) and ordering something new and paying in instalments is the way to go. No one saves money anymore: it's debt or nothing. My age group buys their furniture from Ikea if they haven't already got it for free from someone and put their money towards devices and experiences (eating, going out) I also think there is a sever lack of knowledge around.[/QUOTE]
