TIPS IN BUYING "UKAY-UKAY" PRODUCTS

• IF you see something you like, buy it right away... or you won't get a 2nd chance as most of the "hot" items in a surplus shops get sold at a blink of an eye...
• Learn to haggle... ask for a discount! Unless you really like the item and you'd buy it at all cost, never buy anything in an ukay ukay stall for its original price.
• Buy stuff buy the bulk. The more you buy, the bigger the discount
• Check for damages and stains. you can ask for a discount for finding a little damage on your item. hehehe...
• don't forget to soak your finds in hot water for a few minutes before thoroughly washing it to get rid of icky yucky microbes and what nots.
• for shoes, it's best you clean the insides with alcohol or any strong, antibac cleaner, spray with lysol or sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda to get rid of whatever microorganism might be residing in your shoes, boots, leather pumps, etc.
