A
Second-Hand Finds It’s hard to know what is worth buying at a garage sale. These can be of great value. LARGE FURNITURE The key to buying big items is to wait until the end of the day. By then, the sellers are wondering how they are going to get that huge sofa back into the house. PLASTIC AND WOODEN TOYS Many old-fashioned wooden toys are solid enough to be passed from generation to generation. Clean wooden and plastic toys with a mixture of bleach (漂白剂) or vinegar and hot water. But stay clear of stuffed animals, which are always hard to clean. BABY GEAR New parents want to get rid of out-grown baby swings, high chairs and strollers as soon as possible, making them a garage-sale staple. In case of future recalls, make sure the model number is still visible. Don’t buy: second-hand car seats (the structure could have suffered from damage) and drop-side cribs (落地式婴儿床). BICYCLES AND SCOOTERS Bikes can be a great find, but it’s important to take them for a test drive before you buy. With scooters, if the frame is solid, you can often replace missing or worn parts (handlebar covers, brakes, wheels) for much less than the cost of new ones. 56. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Sofa sellers are always confused how they can sell their items out.
B. If the frame of the bike is solid, we can often replace anything missing or worn. C. Stuffed animals are not recommended for they are always difficult to clean.
