The good prices catch people’s eye, as well as the fact that buying second - hand things is good for the environment. Here we interviewed three people.
Zhang Wei, a book lover, often uses Deja Vu to buy second - hand books. He searches for the books he likes and adds them to his shopping cart(购物车), just like on any other shopping site. The difference is that the books are much cheaper—as much as 70 percent cheaper than new books. “As a student, I don’t have much money, so it’s a perfect choice for me,” Zhang said.
“Buying old books can connect readers together.” Zhao Lin, a 22 - year - old college student, once found a note in a second - hand book she bought. “Its owner shared her thoughts and hoped I would enjoy the book.
