Take the following as truth: If you're not among the world's wealthiest tourists, the good news is that new and nearly new kimono are usually sold for a tiny fraction of their new prices at the big flea markets held at temples, shrines, and other large communal sites.
Then the following statement: "Though one might expect otherwise, prices for kimono at the big flea markets are usually only slightly lower than their usual selling prices." is true, false, or inconclusive?
