Description :
This article questions whether the internet can subsitute for retail stores in Chicago. The exploration of supply, demand, and geographic practices reveals complex alterations, rather than a displacement of second-hand markets by eBay. It also finds substantive integration, fluidity, and hybridization within and across market sectors. Rather than supplant the production of new goods, secondary markets are intertwined with primary markets, calling into question some of the presumed benefits and meanings associated with second-hand exchange.
