I'm thinking of merging Charity Shop, Junk shop, Antique shop and Used bookstore into the second-hand shop article. All of them are too fragmented, some stubs, and lots of overlapping material, and I think they'd be better under one more substantial article to explain the concepts and issues more effectively. Views welcomed before I take this on though! ohsimone ( talk) 09:19, 11 October 2011 (UTC) reply

Removed tag as there was no support for merger. Note that there are 12 other Wikipedias that have a separate article for this topic. -- ELEKHH ^T 23:07, 8 January 2014 (UTC) reply
