junk shop
Used goods emporium
A junk shop is a store selling secondhand goods, typically a chaotic mix of old furniture, household items, and miscellaneous objects.
Unlike antique shops, junk shops make no claims about the value or provenance of their inventory—the appeal is in rummaging for unexpected finds at low prices: I found this old typewriter at a junk shop for ten dollars.
