Retail Trade of Second Hand Goods in Stores: The second-hand goods retail trade is often viewed as one that caters for poor people, but the global trend towards high quality vintage clothing, repurposed items and environmentally-conscious consumption has seen the industry attract buyers that wouldn't have normally considered second-hand purchases.

Pawn transactions are not credit agreements but are covered by the National Credit Act.
