Deleting My Edits[edit]

Please do not delete any of the information I have added for the page. This is for a school project and I will be done with it next week, the 28th of February 2014. You are free to do with it what you want after that date. Thank you very much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paulareumer (talk • contribs) 15:13, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Unclear caption[edit]

Did "Interior of a Jewish antique shop" mean a shop selling Jewish antiques, or a shop owned by Jews selling antiques? If the latter, what is the point of the assertion about the race and religion of the shop owner? Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 20:52, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edits[edit]

I would like to add in some more information on this page including popular stores and what antiques stores include. It has been some time since it was edited, and I think it could use some new information and news on antique stores.

Merge?[edit]

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) 09:18, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My thought is that Antique shop and Used bookstore are very different stores, while you may find a used in book in an Antique shop it is probably public domain and also available on Wikisource. You are unlikely to find a wringer washer in a Used book store. Charity Shop & Junk shop, may be candidates for a merge. JeepdaySock (AKA, Jeepday) 15:22, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support merging charity shop and junk shop, which sell secondhand goods almost exclusively. Oppose merging used bookstore, which has enough unique elements to stand alone (cf. bookstore tourism) and antique shop, where the goods are more for decoration and collection than reuse. --BDD (talk) 16:15, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
