Describe a website that sells second-hand items.
You should say what it is, how you found out about it,
what people can buy from it and explain whether you like it or not.
Rory here is a shopaholic.
He shops around for everything non-stop.
Yes, that's true.
I do.
Rory, give us your story.
Well, I buy a lot of books from Amazon, so I suppose I should talk about that site.
I'm sure you'll have heard of it since it's part of a massive global company.
And they're always in the papers for some reason or another.
But briefly, it's a sort of website where you can buy and sell various items from...
books, to computers, to clothes.
They even have their own media service I think, which is very interesting.
Despite all that variety though,
I think the company actually got started with a focus on selling second hand books,
which is, like I said, what I normally use it for.
I think I just picked up on it from word of mouth decades ago,
and I've been using it to get used books ever since.
