My sister's boyfriend opened up a secondhand shop and is already doing very well. In a city rife full of pawnshops, he's taking the "I care about you in these slow times" approach
He even has a swap and exchange program, where people can maybe swap out some nice jewelry for a TV set or a lounge chair for a set of golf clubs...

Taking the whole friendly, non-pawnshop approach is working well so far and should continue to work as the word of mouth advertising spreads
