The work of shopping: Resellers and the informal economy at the goodwill bins
研究Goodwill Bins中节俭购物者的日常实践，揭示转售如何模糊消费与生产、购物与工作的界限，反映非正规经济中的工作形态。
In this article, I examine the material and everyday practices of a community of thrift-shoppers at the Goodwill Bins. Their practices reveal that shopping in these cutthroat environments is anything but leisurely. By attending to how these spaces are utilised as resources for independent ventures in the informal economy, I show how the occupation of reselling blurs the lines between consumption and production, and shopping and work. I argue that the thrift store can be viewed as a microcosm of the broader shifts occurring in the economy and the latest capitalist reorganisation of work into non-standard and precarious forms.
