Japan's "Recycle Shops" (リサイクルショップ)

If you like second hand stuff, Japan has these "Recycle Shop" stores that sell electronics, musical instruments, luxury goods, golf clubs, etc.

If you spend some time looking through the aisles and bins, you can even find antiques like a rotary phone, or a Super Famicom (Super Nintendo) from the early 1990s. What in 1990 went for 25,000 yen ($175 at the time) is now ~$3.

Always good for kids these days to have a sense of history.
