“..the (second hand) book market, currently worth around ¥2 trillion, has little room to grow... Hiroshi Sato noted there are many other secondhand items in the home that can be merchandised, including CDs, DVDs, clothing, sporting goods, musical instruments, watches, jewelry and brand goods. The market has the potential to grow as more items are introduced.”
