I miss second-hand shops.

I used to have multiple used-book stores, a military surplus store, and about half a dozen consignment and junk shops within a few minutes' drive.

The used-book stores are gone. Sunny's Surplus went bankrupt in 2007. All the junk stores are now Antique Shoppes, attempting to attract the "upcycling" Etsy customer base.

Hell, I can't even go to Radio Shack anymore.
