Speaking exercise

If I go to the official store to buy LV bag and totally new. It’s very expensive for most young people to buy this one. But, if you go to the vintage store you can buy it 50% of the price, but you can get the second hand product which is 90% new. I think it’s good idea because some rich people they will buy the new product at high rate.

Maybe this part of industry will like in Japan.

Maybe their salary is 5000 RMB but they will have credit to buy an LV and Chanel for 30,000.

I will buy luxury bag maybe 2 or 3 just one year. But, I will also buy second-hand Chanel bag. I know the new one about 40,000 RMB.

I talk with her about this topic and I told her you can calculate your use rate.

Revised: 

If I go to the official store to buy an LV bag and it’s totally new. It’s very expensive for most young people to buy a brand new/first-hand bag. But, if you go to the vintage store you can buy it at 50% of the price, but you can get a second-hand product which is 90%/almost new. I think it’s a good idea because some rich people they will buy new products at a high rate/frequently. 

Maybe this industry/sector will develop like in Japan.

Maybe their salary is 5000 RMB but they will get credit to buy an LV or Chanel for 30,000.

I will buy maybe 2 or 3 luxury bags in just one year. But, I will also buy second-hand Chanel bags. I know a new one/brand new bag costs about 40,000 RMB.

I talked with her about this topic and I told her you can calculate how often do you use it.
