Change Store Opens: One Man's Trash Is Another's Treasure

“Sorry … by law we can’t change your wife/mother-in-law/boss for a new one” reads the sign on the store’s front window. Before you snap your fingers in disappointment and trudge away, take a peek inside the swap shop and be amazed at the sheer amount of memorabilia that line the floor, shelves and ceilings. For those searching for a way to rid themselves of that out-of-fashion necklace or embarrassing Barbie doll, Change is the store for you.

Filled with an assortment of goods, from earrings to electric fans, from children’s books to British family crests, Change acts as the middle-man for those wishing to swap one item for another. Talk about the ultimate bartering system. That being said, each item has a price tag for those who wish to simply make a purchase and the store is far from being a dumping grounds for dissatisfied owners. As the saying goes, one man’s trash is another’s treasure.
