- Let's go shopping and see if we get lucky! Today we shall see if I will get lucky in Bangkok's largest second hand shop. I have been wanting to visit Lucky Home Samrong for quite some time and decided that today was the day to do it. This has to be Bangkok's largest second hand shop! It takes up 3 separate warehouses. All the goods in this shop are imported from Japan. The main focus of Lucky Home Samrong is musical instruments, stereo equipment, speakers, portable radios as well as a huge section dedicated to cameras and lenses. If you are looking for any of these things, this is the place for you. I have never seen so many used stereos, cameras, lenses and records in one place. a must see if you like second hand markets and shops!

You even find tham cheaper in Europa than there. Even in the Manila were my wife is from is expensive
Thanks for the video and I’m looking for this particular boombox from the 90’s Panasonic National RX C51 cassette
Hi. . dear❤❤
No sé en cuanto pudiera contribuir mi opinión acerca de lo que ahí se presenta y oferta, pero tengo que decir que ese lugar es lo más parecido al paraíso en la Tierra. La emoción me ha hecho llorar.
I wish you the best of luck in finding it.
I bought some stuff there last week at 90% discount. What you have to know about these Japanese import warehouses is that they're getting new containers every 2 months I believe. Most is junk material and randomly priced as they usually buy those per weight. Prices will go down as they're getting closer to the next shipment. Less choice but cheaper options when you wait for the 70% or 90% discounts. I wouldn't recommend anyone to buy complex gear if you don't have repair skills though.
You are absolutely correct. I’m well aware of how these places operate, and they’re always bringing in new stuff. There are some bargains to be had here but most of it is just pure junk.
It's stuff that they throw away in Japan@@LifewithSerg
"Most is junk material": agree.
@jmsjms296 junk or not some might have a high value like those lenses, that can be conected to reflex photograf machines already digital some i saw just by looking at them are like 2.500€ this in Europe with a big discount ,normally they are dirty and to clean them is not that simple but there are people who are specialized in that, regular modern camera´s use this lenses but they really cost a lot of money if bought new and to work all types of lenses are needed but all expensive depending on it´s specifications
Can you please tell me the location of the warehouse?
I went to stores like this in Bangkok and just offer them ~20$ for most things and they will say yes. The price tag is meaningless. People in Thailand are so nice.
Yes, you can, of course, bargain in places like this.
Ah that makes sense. These price tags were ridiculous.
Thank you Serg
Wow so much collection n neatly arranged...👍
Just imagine the generations of people who used all the cameras and recorded life over 25...30-40 years
It was extremely well organized.
Love your Bangkok second-hand outlet videos. Amazing!
These are my favorite stores. There’s a couple other markets like this that I still have not visited. I’ll definitely make a video about them.
been waiting for unique and quality thailand content from SERG!!! yes!!!
Well, I gave you unique, I don’t know about quality. 🤪🤣😂
Hey Serg, Thanks for this one. I am definitely visiting this place. You gave me yet another reason to quickly plan my trip. Hopefully in November this year😊
Some of the prices of this place are a little bit high, but as you saw by the sign, there’s always a huge discount. I would highly recommend a visit here. Just prepare to be really hot. Lol.
As a local I can confirm that this place is a gem - imagine usual garage sales but 100x larger.😮
And they'd put stuff on sales/discount in a cycle manner. After starting the new lot sales at list price for a few days they'll start gradual discount to all items, from mild 10% off to "clearance" 90% off towards the end of the cycle. After that they'd close down for a few days to rearrange for the new lot of stuff, and the cycle continues.
Those clearance 90% discount sales would be only as-is, no testing allowed however. But I took the risk, and had got some gems ridiculously cheap from time to time (got a fully functional TEAC 3-head cassette deck at only about $30😎- go figure). So if you know the business and love to take the risk, this place is very recommended.
PS correction: this place is technically not in BKK area (actually in Samut Prakarn province), but close enough to not to cause any commute issue.
Yes you’re right about the discount cycle. I would try and wait until it was at least 60% off. You’re also write about the location, I said Bangkok for practicalities sake
You can test stuff beforehand and if it is to expensive for what you want to pay just wait until the big discounts happen and go back and see if one of the items you had tested before is still there and pick it up at a steal.
Would you get a stuff and ship them to me if I ask you to?
Do they have social media account I can check?
Good to hear from a knowledgeable local guy. Thanks for the inside information.
I'm sure there would be a few gems im amongst all those vinyl records. Thanks for showing us around Serg!
I didn’t spend too much time looking through the records. Are used to have a vinyl collection in the US, but I gave them all away before I moved here. This is not the place to come if you’re really looking for records. I would recommend fortune town, as there is at least 10 different shops, or the Pattavikorn market.
That's HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO AWESOME! I'd spent a month just looking at these speakers, just SO INSANELY AWESOME. In wish I could at least have a 1% of this shop in my country!
Glad you like it! I had a blast there.
Fascinating to see all those throwback items from the 60's up🎥📹📷📸
Yeah it’s a cool place for sure!
Like before watching!!!! Love these vids. Going to fly via Bangkok just for this.
Hope you enjoy it!
Awesome video Serg! Had no idea these existed! Very interesting video!
There’s actually quite a few of them here. I’ve been to another one that had all sorts of items imported from Japan. I’ll have to find one that has a wider variety of items and make another video for you guys.
Thank you Serg! I needed this :D
Happy to oblige!
So great to see you display that Black Moon album. Classic material. Thx Serg. 🙏
I literally randomly pulled that out. Classic!
I would have bought it
Nice video Serg! Very cool looking place, looks like they have a ton of camera stuff.
They had a ton of camera stuff. I think a lot of it is probably junk, but it’s a fun place to go and look.
What a vast, wonderful collection of audio stereo equipments in Bangkok, Thailand!!! I am really amazed to see this vast collection!! I hope i can visit there one day as i live in Sri Lanka.
Thank you for uploading this video and sharing the information!!
So happy you enjoyed it! I loved this place so much!
@@LifewithSerg Yes, i am pleased to see it. Thanks again!!
Thank you for Sharing Serg 👍🏼 and don’t forget to take care of yourself too
Thanks! You too
Thank you very much for showing us this amazing collection of Cameras and audio systems at reasonable price.
You bet!
The Japanese pre-loved electronic items are keenly priced...less 40%...these are brands on the run 🏃♂️ 😀 can save a lots of money 💰, it can make your life fulfilling 😅 thanks Serg for sharing it with us, certainly on my shopping trip next time around..🎉😂
I think the prices are still a little bit on the high side, but it’s definitely worth checking out. There’s a couple other places like this which feature lots of other items, not just electronics. I will have to go take a look.
Hey Trust your well, Great to see you in Good spirits, inspire on champ
Yes feeling much better!
Another great video Serg!
Glad you enjoyed it!
3:38 that’s my dad’s old Aiwa cassette boombox!! I spent sooo many Wednesday afternoons taping and listening to the chart top 40 on that thing ❤
I know exactly how you feel. I came across a television in a rental, that was the exact same model as my families first color television when we moved to America.
@@LifewithSerg when I showed it to my dad just now, his face went from “what freaky vid are you gonna show now” to “oh..it’s my old radio 🥹❤️” thanks for making our day!
Thank you for sharing the great VDO 🙏👍🏼
Thanks for visiting
Wow exciting place! Please compile more secondhand places like this! Is there a place selling used international English magazines and books? These places make Bangkok more interesting to visit then the usual malls. Thanks Serg😊
There’s quite a few markets like this. I’m not sure if you’ve seen my video about Pattavikorn market. If not go, check it out I will go to see more of these types of market some stores for sure.
@@LifewithSerg yes I watched your very interesting talk on thairish times when it first dropped then I saw the pattavikorn video too when it came out then subbed since. I like that you can talk in depth about a variety of subjects from automotive to vintage. However, don't be too stressed about view / sub numbers, because youtube does a lot of manipulation to their creators, then they burn out. Take care Serg 💕
Another great video...The Camera section with newer gear thats only open on Sundays would be more interesting for many of. us...Cheers
Yes, I did not know it was only open on Sundays. Now I know. Lol.
Hey Serg thanks for sweating out for us. I was curious about these kind of establishments all along.
It’s definitely interesting to go and browse, but I don’t think I would buy anything with expectations of it being trouble free. Too much heat and humidity and dust.
Wow, the polaroids are cool! They have some neat camera gear!
Yes they do! The room they wouldn’t let me into had some much nicer equipment
I've never been inside one of these Japanese 2nd hand stores, so this was interesting. Your jokes are really funny man, you made this enjoyable. I mean, the prices this place are charging are beyond stupid and I love how they don't even clean them. However; this is still fun and nostalgic for sure. I guess I had a lot of Japanese electronics as a kid :) Good speaker tips too!
All the prices I quoted were before the 40% discount. Yes, many of the things were still over priced by Thai standards. I’ve been to a couple of these before.
I’ll have to go to one of their other locations that has a lot more household things in it.
@@LifewithSerg Yes, I was astonished about the prices. Even in Japan the price would not have been as high. I mentioned it before, Japan has a lucrative second hand market with quality products.
@@SjaakSchulteis According to a different commentor they go up to 80/90% with their discounts depending on how long the stuff has been there. I guess they try to get as much out of it and go down significantly as time passes. I am sure even at full price there is plenty of deals to be had with such a large collection though, especially if you can get it home.
Hey Serg! I really loved the content of this episode. If my memory serves me well, you already made a video about this warehouse once. It's much different this time though. All the stuffs seem to be sorted out well and got more expensive price setup. I'm kinda like it more the previous time, this time the bad stuffs were removed, any way the best stuffs seem to be also opted off as well.
I have never been here before. I think you’re thinking of my video about the Pattavikorn market. That market is 10 times the size of this warehouse.
@@LifewithSerg Oh! Yeah that one. Sry for confusing.
One of the most interesting vids on Bkk I have seen
I’m glad you enjoyed it! This is a very interesting place
Thanks for showing us places and subjects not normally chosen with other Thai based channels...
It’s the stuff I love to find. Glad you enjoy it.
Just came across your channel and what a great vlog next time I’m in bkk I’m going there what a great place 👏👏👏
There’s actually several of these Japanese secondhand goods stores in Bangkok. I’ll do a video on one that has a more general selection of merchandise.
@@LifewithSerg I normal go to mega plaza but this place is very near me when I go . Thanks Serg will look forward to next ones 👏👏👏
Wow, I'm glad there isn't a warehouse like that near me or else my house would be even more full! That is very cool although I am quite surprised at the prices.
Don’t forget that everything was 40% off. They bring in a new container I believe every two or three weeks. About four days after I went to one of my subscriber said that everything was 90% off. At 90% off, that’s a bargain, at 40% off those prices were not great
@@LifewithSerg Ahhh yes, at 90% would defs be the right time to go. I was recently in the Philippines, Sth Korea and Japan and expected to find places like this but had to stick with the group. The new electronics were about the same price as at home and couldn't find anything I don't already have.
Would love to go to Thailand and Indonesia sometime soon. :)
Treasure cave I am shocked by what I see. Amazing collection this is a dream!
Just keep in mind that the heat and humidity in that warehouse are not doing any of that equipment any favors. Eventually, everything will be 90% off, and then a brand new shipment will come in. I think they do this once a month or so.
In 2019. I bought a Nikon F-401s SLR from there (Body only) because it took AAA batteries AND had a flash. It was 3000 Baht. I bought a Nikkor auto focus zoom lens of the same vintage (1987) from Fortune Town mall later on in the same year. They still work to this day and I'm loving the film experience.
The older analog equipment is great to have and use
OH MY GOD. Youre just made my day. Bro im thinking about moving there. can you show me around..especially this place?
I’ve got another second Heng market Video next week.
vintage floor-standing speakers are so beautiful
Yes they are. But I think the heat and humidity will have ruined most of them.
Every country should be opened sechand shop and third hand shops. Its good for environment.
I’m pretty sure that every country has shops like this. They are great for the economy.
Awesome truly appreciated 👍 for sharing it
My pleasure
I was in Cambodia and noticed that they are EVERYWHERE in Cambodia. Literally half the cars are Prius's and most are made from a combination of multiple cars. So, Cambodia is where Prius's go to die and I guess Thailand is where Japanese stereo equipment goes to die. Not bad prices on the records! Good decorations at the least.
The record selection was not the greatest. There’s many other shops here that have killer record selection.
Cambodia is where manufacturers dump their closed out lease cars. They don't want to dump them in their own or other larger markets because it takes away from new car sales. A lot go to Africa as well.
Oh that is really interesting and that makes a lot of sense. It's really quite interesting to see in person. Perhaps 1 out of 3 cars there is a Prius. When I take taxis the 2 guaranteed conversations with the driver is 1- How terrible Chinese tourists are 2- How many different Prius's their personal Prius is made from. :) @@davidj.7779
japan made quality stuff never die)
Thanks I'm going to have to check this place out.
It’s a fun place to go browse.
If you are from Australia, New Zealand or the UK make sure you check the operating voltage of any used equipment before you buy it. Anything rated 220 -240v is fine (some units will have adjustable voltage selectors near the AC input). Anything less, don't touch it unless you want to use the device with a step-down transformer. As to the cameras, know what you are looking at. In high humidity such as Thailand and Japan, camera lenses will develop mould between the lens elements very quickly so you need to look through the lens and if you spot any sort of furry gunk inside, no matter how small, just leave it as the mould is already inside. In Japan people often store their lenses in sealed pouches or containers with silica gel capsules or pouches from medication bottles to keep the lenses dry. Also look at the upper most glass element and the rear element to look for signs of scratches, coating aberrations or glass pitting. Any of those things will render a lens useless.
This is all excellent advice! Everything this person said about the voltage and the humidity damage is so true.
@@LifewithSerg Thanks, Serg! :)
8:30 that's the artbook manual for "casual romance club", a 2003 eroge 🤣this is a great video, thanks for filming it!
There are some really cool stuff at this warehouse. And it seems like they change their inventory, completely, every few weeks.
@@LifewithSerg your channel is cool, i subscribed ^O^
Looking at the language, it seems to be the 1996 japanese version. They don't seems filter the stuffs before putting it in bin, so adult stuff ends up shipped to warehouse and now available publicly. 😂
@XeOn1989891 yeah there were a few other things there that I just couldn’t show on camera, but definitely some interesting and hilarious items
Awesome looking store, you should get an audio mixer you can become DJ Serg!
I wanted to be a DJ when I was younger. I used to have a couple turntables and a mixer. Lol.
흥미로운 곳을 소개 시켜줘서 고맙습니다~😀😀
사이즈가 큰 스피커를 사면 어떻게 가져 올지 고민 해봐야겠네요
Definitely go check it out.
Thanks for sharing, really love to visit there someday!
You should!
Could you please share the location! Google maps link or name?
@@derciocossa3950 The location was LUCKY HOME SAMRONG, you can google map it mate, have fun!
@@derciocossa3950 It's LUCKY HOME SAMRONG
Your videos are cool. I love and respect the way you take things so carefully and depict it in your videos. I too love 2nd hand items because somehow I feel we all can make good use of them if we get something descent which is value for pocket and recycling at the same time. How can I connect with you ?
I’m glad you enjoyed this video. You can follow me on Instagram @lifewithsergey
wonderfully covered ; i really liked that sharp QT 88 at 03:50
Yes that was my fave as well!
Bro just step into the heaven! I also love buying 2nd hand stuff, especially for parts salvaging hehe.😏😏
Yeah, you would definitely love this place!
I've also seen some videos of second hand audio shops in Japan and they have a lot of incredible vintage audio equipment in excellent condition. Of course the prices are going to be higher. I suspect this place buys all the sub-standard and unwanted stuff from Japan because it sure looks like it.
You’re absolutely correct! The gentleman that owns this shop imports, all the unsellable items from Japan.
If you are an antique collector , you can go to Chatuchak market . I know there is some place else for antique and you can search for it.
Honestly, that market has next to no collectibles. I would not recommended it comes for anyone seeking any kind of vintage items. There is, however a market right next to it that is a building with Seven floors that is all vintage collectible items.
that's a definition of paradise for music geek :)
Yes so cool!
Amazing... Great video 🥰
Thank you! Cheers!
Hey Serg love this vid…takes me back. How’s the 80’s toy market for nonboxed gijoe heman and 70’s star wars? Thanks
The market for loose figures is great. I have sold thousands of loose figures. There’s a lot of very rare vintage, Star Wars figures, that even loose, sell for big bucks.
@@LifewithSerg That is very good news, cause I have all the figures but are loose. I live beautiful NorCal, but other than my local card game/comic/MTG shops is there any good contacts?? Thanks for the response!
A lot of retro devices. It's classy. WoW.
Yah it’s a great place.
Soo cool video❤
Thanks!
Wow this place is amazing! So interesting
It’s a fun place to visit, for sure!
I love second hand things. This triggered my shopping addiction ahah. I better re-read that book "30 Days to Stop Being a Shopaholic" by Harper Daniels before I split for the thrift store again.
I love secondhand markets as well. There’s quite a few more here that I need to explore. I will make sure to make more videos to feed your addiction. Lol.
Ładne zabawki ;) . Fajne miejsce i dużo fajnego audio . Jest na co popatrzeć . ( Nice toys . Cool place and lots of cool audio. There is something to look at. ) . Pozdrawiam .
Yep! I’m looking forward to going back, as I’m sure they will have all new stock
@@LifewithSerg Vintage Audio is a cool thing. Some amplifiers from the 80's are very nice but the prices can also be high. My friend currently uses Accuphase E 303 and I know that it is a pretty good amplifier that sounds warm. I also have a few pieces, but after watching your video, I want more heh ...
I really love old electronics like you❤
Yeah so cool!
Wow that place is insane! If I worked there I'd be spending my whole paycheck at work.
It’s such a fun place!
This place looks amazing 😮
I’ve got another video next week you will like!
I love Lucky Home! I got some harmonicas and an old tripod there. You have to be careful, coming from Japan, most electronics run on 110v. Some stuff I tested was blown out on 220v already.
Yes very true. Have to be careful.
You would put something on your mouth that came from that place? ( the harmonica)
@@farquell5782 I didn't get a CV jab so my immune system is good! Plus, I put my mouth on a lot of questionable things in Thailand!
Dude, a lot of that vintage home audio gear is worth huge amounts in the US. Personally I'd have lost my tiny mind in that place lol.
Then you probably don’t want to know that about four days after I went, everything was 90% off! They get a new shipment every couple of weeks and then start the sliding scale discount.
There was definitely some gems there. However, I question the condition that most of it is in, and having run worldwide vintage toy business, it would cost you a fortune to ship stuff like this overseas believe me, I’m definitely gonna go back there again and look around some more.
The problem is most, not all, Japanese speakers aren't that great. Just so so. Now if the have accuphase amps and such then it would be worth going too.
Now, Japanese turntables are great. I'd definitely look for a decent table
and in Europe ,the prices are even more high than the U.S. when there are more to offer they become more cheaper
Lets say there is a monster receiver that cost 2K in USA. You buy it there for 50$ and ships with Fedex to US for about 200$ I would say its good deal ))
@@LifewithSerg
These are second hand electronics stuff from Japan. All are 100 V which can not be used in Thailand 220V. Require transformer to work properly.
Some was 220, but yes, a lot of it was 110. It’s very easy to get an adapter to make them work.
Hello Serg, good CZcams you are doing.
Hey, thanks!
Wow interesting place my electronic skills could get me a rockin new sound system .I must pop along for a look next time I'm down from surin .
Cheers
Just keep in mind that most of the stuff runs on 110 V, and sitting in this kind of a warehouse in this heat with humidity is not very healthy for electronics
Time , patience,love and skill I reckon I could put something together ..
Definitely got the time and patience living up here in the sticks .
Many thanks for the advice .
when i was young i used to dream of places like this.
Ha ha. Yes so cool.
You may be sure that anything genuinely useable would already have found its way onto eBay. These guys aren't stupid.
This is not their business model. They get in a container form Japan at super cheap prices. They put everything out and keep marking it down till it’s all gone, and then they repeat the process. All of this stuff comes from Japanese secondhand stores, and her items that were unsellable in Japan, but there is a market for them here.
Amazing. I liked this funny museum
Glad you enjoyed it
Sir . That is heaven thanks 🙏
It’s a great place!
Hi Dear, Thank You Verry Importent Information Thank you somuch 💯👍
Welcome 😊
for people who lives in Thailand this kind of content is great, thanks for the tip haha
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@LifewithSerg hope you can do some more content in Rayong or Chonburi haha
That hitachi boombox @ 3:39 is quite desirable and the sony is not bad either.
There were definitely some germs there. Just have to be careful as all these items are 110 V, and Thailand runs on 220.
wauw that audio developments mixer is really profesional. in eu market worth around 2000 euros.
There are definitely some hidden gems here
The little television won't work without a digital to analog converter for reception and would likely be unwatchable due to aspect ratio difference these days. Still cool. I had one as a child and I loved it !
Yes of course. It’s probably not functional anyways. Cool piece though.
Excellent for Prop house. Thanks.
The items were a little expensive, and the heat and humidity have done them no favors. Personally, I wouldn’t buy any of that stereo equipment with high hopes of it, lasting, or being super usable. Keep in mind that Japan runs on 110 V
I need to check that place out .
It’s definitely worth a visit
Now I know where everything in America went to manual passed a bunch of stuff that was vintage and I told Matt all that black 90s stuff. There are some cool pieces in there. I would love to have had working or not working Jesus I tell you want by chance I fly to Bangkok go through there by what I want and have a shit back to America. Thanks for the video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Paradise!
It’s a fun place for sure
Omg soo cool 😍🤩
Such a cool place.
Thanks for the video! Bummer you didn't show the brand names for the guitars and keyboards. Showing the brand names helps us understand if they stock entry level gear, or pro level.
I couldn’t show everything in that warehouse, of course. This was just a video to show people some of the things they have in there.
Magnifique vidéo j'adore
Merci!
Super video sir.
So nice of you
Fantastic collection sir
Thanks for liking
this is heaven 😍
I thought the same thing! And they change all the inventory every 2 to 3 weeks!
Hi , This is Vishnu from kerala, India. Thankyou sir for uploading informational videos. I too love buying stuffs like these.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Looks amazing
It’s really fun to go and just look around
Este lugar es lo más cercano al paraiso en la Tierra.
Me encantaría poner los conocimientos que tengo en la materia, en función de la recuperación y restauración de muchos de esos bellísimos equipos.
You would love this place for sure.
paradise for me!
It’s a great little place
Nice bro, nice video. Well, brother, Japanese gates are much more valuable than all other countries. 😊😊😊
Japanese gates?
Yes
I love it , thailand is amazing
It really is!
Awesome this video. next time I'm in BKK, I want to have a look at the mall.
This would have excited me.... about ten to twenty years ago... In the ninetees my mouth would be watering by the sight of those electronics, especially those from Japan. But nowadays... no way to have a gigantic machinery like that in my house. The small tv screen you showed? At that time in the nineties I would love to have a cassetteplayer like that. Imagine watching movies on a small screen. I think I even had something like that. Now my phone can do more and better!
I live near Hua Hin and on the way home I passed many times a place called Japan Mall. I always thought it was something similar to what you showed, but by a far stretch nothing like it. They sell second hand Japanese stuff, but most of it is just old and cheap and bad.
In Japan I have visited many second hand shops. I used to buy famous brand bags, second hand, looking like new and smuggled them home to sell them on Ebay. Just something like four bags each time (there was a time that I went at least once a month to Japan). I could sell them with 100% profit.
But not only that, I bought once a nice 6x7 camera in Japan (Plaubel) a professional camera for a very good price - ok that was in 1984 or something... Later, about 15 years ago I often bought laptops from Japan. They were in very good conditon and for a good price. Big shops often had a second hand section where you could find stuff.
I never saw shops like that in Bangkok.
I think most of the second hand stuff that’s imported from Japan. and sold here is really the junk. Even reading the article about this place, the Japanese man that opened it said that he saw a market in Thailand for items that were unsellable in Japanese secondhand stores.
@@LifewithSerg That's something I can imagine. But next time in BKK and I don't forget about it, I will have a look... just for memory sake.
Are there any retro video games or systems? You have great taste or luck in showing that Black Moon debut lp, I'd definitely pick that up for 500b
No video games at all. All they had here was musical instruments, audio gear, and then the camera section. I literally just randomly pulled that record out, and I was thrilled to see what it was.
Love it
Thanks!
Hi, any chance you know the shops that carry Japanese lacquerware urushi and better quality ceramics? Much appreciated of you could share your expertise. Thank you
Sorry, but I do not.
10:03 Wow, that’s cool.
It’s an interesting place, especially if you like old cameras
That would be heaven on earth for me. Do they have a room to rent on the premises? 😁
So I probably shouldn’t tell you that they get a new container in every couple of weeks, and completely replace all the merchandise. Lol. I think you’ll be ready to move in.
By the way, if you like secondhand stuff, I think you’ll like one of my videos later in the week.
wao man I wish I could be there they should be online i.e. aliexpress,daraz etc etc
