ONE MAN'S TRASH, ANOTHER MAN'S TREASURE



Last November, I started an internet auction business to sell some junks that seem of no use or giveaways from department stores. Little did I know that I am bound for some surprises.

Of all the things I have sold so far (the auction site is now going on the 8th month, yeah...), one particular item is worth mentioning. It's featured in the photo... That's right - the camouflage jump suit. You may wonder how the hell I had this in my possession! Well, I got it more than two years ago for a company outdoor event, but for some reason, I didn't have a chance to wear it at all. As I looked through the stuffs and tried to decide what I could sell on the internet, I thought I'd give this camouflage jump suit a shot. What do you know... It was sold in 20 days... though not for a huge amount (NT$250, or roughly US$8, plus shipping)... but the fact that some one actually was willing to spend money to buy a piece of no-brand clothing that you can't wear in your normal daily life amazed me...

My trash could be someone else's treasure, for sure.
