The sale of second-hand clothes spreads to Anatolia: “They find it difficult to buy even that”

Following the recent economic difficulties, Ardahan has also taken up the sale of second-hand clothing, common in large cities.

Yadigar Çoban, who sells second-hand clothes in Ardahan, said: “I have been selling for 3 years and people come and buy from us because they have a hard time, but they have a hard time even buying second-hand clothes from us.”

Yadigar Çoban, who said that there was no sale of second-hand clothes in Ardahan until the last three years, but now the sale of second-hand clothes has started due to financial problems, said that she could not live on a pension of 7,500 lire and said that he sold second-hand clothes.

‘EVEN WHEN BUYING SECOND-HAND DRESSES’

Çoban, who sells second-hand clothes in Ardahan, said:

“Look, I’m selling the used clothes you see here. People can only afford second-hand clothes and for the last two or three years. There are clothing style products here, and citizens come to us to buy second-hand clothes because they have difficulty buying clothes.

If the condition of the citizen is good, if the purchasing power is high, will the citizen come to buy the clothes that he sees here and that have been worn by someone else for months or years? No, of course not, it means that the economic situation of the people is not good.

‘I’VE BEEN SELLING SECOND-HAND DRESSES FOR 70 YEARS’

I have been selling in Ardahan for 3 years and people come to buy from us because it is difficult, but even they find it difficult to buy second hand clothes from us.

If I don’t sell them, I can’t make a living, I bought 7,500 lira and paid Bag-Kur for 25 years and got 7,500 lira. It’s not possible, it’s not enough, look what I’m doing. I am 70 years old and I cannot earn a living and I work in the market with my wife”. (PHOENIX)
