Introduction

The organizer of the large-scale boutique sale, Shopee's Choice, is the Joonan Pawnshop Cooperative Association, and "pawnshop" is a pawnshop where pawners pledge their high-priced goods to borrow money. Every year, many pawned goods are sold, and this organization operates various pawnshops to sell the pawned goods at the venue. The types of goods are mainly jewelry, watches, and brand-name bags, and the prices are about 10% to 70% off the market price. The sale has been held in June and November since 1972. It has been the 87th time so far, and the number of goods prepared each time is as high as 100,000. The Joonan Pawnshop Cooperative Association will donate 200 million yen of the proceeds to charity, attracting many foreign tourists to rush to buy. Getting up early on the first day to queue up is an unbeatable rule. The author arrived at 11 o'clock on the first morning last time and had to queue for 6 hours to enter the venue. It was a painful experience.

Author's Guide

1. You must go on the first day of the exhibition! Because new models are not always available for replenishment, the most complete and beautiful models must be on the first day! Now the exhibition has been widely known by people in mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. Many friends said that it is difficult to find their favorite models now. Most of them buy products at 30% off at second-hand stores. In comparison, a 30% discount is not as good as buying products that you love more.

2. As a second-hand sales operator, do you think it's worth going? It depends on your love for second-hand goods. The queues are too long now. It depends on whether it's worth spending 8 hours at a tourist attraction just for a little discount. In fact, compared to buying second-hand wholesale goods, the prices are really not that attractive. I personally didn't recommend this auction after I went there once (I can get better products every week, why spend 6 hours in line? I was so angry last time!)

Second-hand boutique sales focus

The products prepared by Shirtless Charity Fee include Hermes, LV, GUCCI and other brand-name bags, as well as jewelry, watches, furs, leather clothes and Japanese treasures. Here are some key points to help you have a better idea when buying.

1. The brand Hermes has a special area displaying various bags. There are popular Birkin and Kelly models on sale, and the prices are indeed second-hand prices. The bags are in good condition. I posted a post on the fan page before, and the photo was full of LV bags. There were about 4,000 products on site, from wallets, bags, suitcases to accessories. The prices were sometimes cheaper than cosmetics. Buying them as gifts for family members would definitely be praised.

2. The jewelry prepared at the jewelry sale is mostly accessories and precious metals, with various precious gems such as diamonds, sapphires, rubies, pearls, etc. For those of you who like brands, it is still recommended to visit the jewelry area, where you may find simple and elegant styles and bring one or two pieces to collect and wear.

3. The watch website mentioned that the watch brands include Rolex, TAG Heuer, Seiko, Bulgari and Chopard, both for men and women. I myself would like to dig for jewelry watches, some of which are worth buying.

Transportation: How to get to シッチーのチャリティフェア

Purchase Notes

There are a large number of Chinese service staff on site. I remember that there will be an introduction to the language they can speak on their name tags. If you have any questions, please be sure to ask the staff to help confirm and communicate.

The latest sale event time

The 2024 Fall Sale will be held in November, with business hours from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the last day will be closed at 3 p.m. It is recommended that if you want to buy the first round of bags, you need to arrive at around 6 a.m. on the first day!

Will there be counterfeit goods mixed in?

These quality houses are all time-honored brands, with appraisers to check and there are also appraisers on site for secondary appraisal. In addition, the event has been held for a long time, so you can buy with confidence.
