Sell your ex's things - a unique consignment shop in Malaysia (7 photos)
A store called Once Beloved specializes in selling items left behind by departed ex-lovers or husbands or wives. Helps you get rid of difficult memories and earn a pretty penny.
This store was invented by 27-year-old engineer Hazim Azaman, whose sister kept many of her ex-husband’s things after breaking up.
She was constantly sad and hoped that he would return at least for the sake of things. And then the brother decided to put an end to this melancholy - he created an account on Insta to sell all of her ex-husband’s belongings - from his favorite mug to a camera.
If it were in Italy, there would be all the junk in the window and let the cats describe it!
At the same time, he set the prices low, because it was necessary to get rid of things as soon as possible.
And it went!
The husband, by the way, never showed up to pick up the things and didn’t complain. So it’s good that we got rid of the burden from the past with a light heart.
And suddenly people began to write to Azaman that they would like to get rid of their “junk from the past.” He decided: why not?

However, there is a rule - before you exhibit in the Once Beloved store, you need to fill out a questionnaire where you indicate on a scale from 1 to 10 how much you hate your ex.
You can even write a note to your ex and it will be published in the ad. For those who have been greatly offended, they say it helps a lot to speak out to a larger audience.
And often - to receive words of warm support.

This does not in any way affect the final cost of things, it just makes Azaman and the buyers incredibly happy!
This has already happened in the movies
It turns out that a film was made about this a long time ago. True, in Indonesia. This is a romantic comedy called “The Market for Ex’s Things,” where the main character also has a store where people bring their ex’s things to donate.
Surely Azaman saw this film out of the corner of his eye, since he figured it out so quickly. But one should not belittle his merits; he still dared to bring the cinematic idea to life.

And even make it popular! Azaman, of course, takes his commission for the store’s services.
Fun facts about the Hate-Ex Store
One of the secrets of the store’s popularity is that everyone thinks that you can find very cheap things there. After all, sellers are driven not so much by the thirst for profit as by emotions and revenge.
It sounds logical, because the MacBook of Azaman’s sister’s ex-husband was selling for $250.
You can sell anything except underwear. It's still immoral.
In general, they say that Malaysians have a difficult character, so maybe that’s why no one comes back for things
Another interesting detail is that most often new products are offered to Azaman at 3 am. Usually upset people “get to the point” just at this time. They want to talk to someone about their pain and start doing something.
Women decide to sell their ex-boyfriends' motorcycle helmets. The guys bring watches that the girls left on the dressing table and refused to even come back to pick them up, just so as not to see their ex.
And this is revenge on the ex. What can I say, broad soul, how much the girl spent.
Of course it's a shame. And you hand over the thing to a second-hand shop with an angry note, and it already seems to make you feel better.
I like the idea of a note and a scale for hating your ex. Allows you to express all grievances along with things and cleanse your heart.
Although, what to do if your ex was greedy and, when leaving, he even took the opened roll of toilet paper with him...
