How it's used

Originally referring to goods sold at night markets or auctions, this term now broadly covers various types of second-hand or clearance items. It carries a slightly nostalgic or bargain-hunting connotation compared to the more modern and neutral term 二手貨. You will often hear it used by older generations when referring to items found at flea markets or liquidation sales.

Common mistake

Learners often confuse this with general shopping terms, but it specifically implies items that have been previously owned or are being cleared out at a discount. It is not used for brand new items bought at standard retail prices.
