Come, come. Everything is cheap. Nothing new, but everything works. TV, shoes, toys, suits, games, all for a good price. Don't miss it.

Hey man, good afternoon. You sell secondhand stuff, right?

Of course, my friend. Only secondhand, but good condition, good price. Everything you see, I got it from people who didn't need it anymore. Some even from offices that are closed. They are good quality products. Some of them were used by wealthy people. You can take a look.

Interesting. Hey, that TV over there, it looks old. Does it still work?

This one? Oh, yes, brother. It works perfectly. You'll see. That's a 32-inch plasma TV. Samsung from 2010. It's old, yes, but it works very well. The image is good. Great colors. HDMI port works. Remote control? Yes, included. Plus extra batteries.

Interesting. And how much does it cost? I suppose not much.

Look, this TV new costs $200 or $300. But for you, because you seem to be a smart guy, just give me $60.

Come on, man. 60? It's from 2010. I can't give you 60 for that TV.

Yes, but it's Korean quality, not like the new plastic stuff today. I'll tell you something. You take this home, plug it in. Boom. TV time. I can even show you. It works here. Portable battery. It's a great offer.

Okay. Okay. Uh, let me think. What about that suit? That black one.

Oh, that's a real suit, my friend. Fine wool. Italian brand. Very elegant. Look, feel it. It's a very elegant suit. You love it.

Um, yeah. It looks nice. Looks like an important man.

Oh, you're right. It belonged to a lawyer. He lost weight. Gave it to me. Still fresh. Only used twice, I think. No holes, no stains. It's perfect.

Maybe. I think I like it. I can use it for work. How much?

Well, this suit cost like $500 or $600 new, but for you—for you only $25, right? Cleaned, ready to wear.

That's cheap. Um, and that PlayStation, are you selling it?

Yes, of course. PlayStation 3. But uh... what about the suit?

I have to think about it first. But PlayStation 3 looks like the five. It's a new design.

I could lie to you, but I am very honest. It is the PS3 classic, brother. Retro for the real gamer. Real men love to play with that. It comes with two controllers and three games. The best games: FIFA 2014, Grand Theft Auto IV, and Call of Duty.

Wow. I used to play those games many years ago. I'd love to play those again, but this time with my children. How much?

Well, we're talking about the PS3, bro. You know, these things are not cheap.

Just tell me. Oh, but first, does it work?

How can you ask that? I tested it last night. Works perfectly. Seriously, good for kids, good for adults. It's not PS5, but it's still fun.

Yeah, I see. But um... you haven't told me the price. How much is it?

Well, this amazing game console with games and controllers... 70. $70.

Too much. I can give you $50. That's all.

$50? Come on, bro. The controllers alone are worth 30. Let's do 60. Final offer. You won't find it cheaper anywhere.

Um, okay. I'll think. And those shoes, they look good.

Leather shoes. Real leather, black, beautiful, made in Brazil, cleaned and polished. Size 43. I think that's your size. Lucky you.

You're right. That's my size. And it looks great. Uh, how much?

Perfect. Just $15. They are in excellent condition. Come on.

Okay, that's a fair price. Oh, and those toys over there. I like them.

For your kids, take them. Only $1 each. Very cheap. Some are McDonald's toys, others from Disney. They are in good condition.

I'll take five of them. And the shoes and the TV for 50. Yes. Is that okay?

Um, okay. Okay. Take the shoes, five toys, and the TV for 50. Deal.

Deal. Let me get my wallet, but I will pick them up later in 5 minutes.

Don't worry. I will be here all day. Great. First sale.

Hey there. You sell secondhand things. I'm looking for something.

Yes, sir. Welcome to Carlos Street Shop. What do you need today? We got electronics, clothes, kitchen items, even an old guitar.
