WHITE ELEPHANT STALL Meaning and
Definition
-
A white elephant stall refers to a designated area or booth typically found at a fair, flea market, or charity event, where various items, often unwanted or second-hand, are displayed for sale. The term "white elephant" is derived from the popular idiom used to describe an expensive possession that is burdensome or impractical to maintain, much like owning a real white elephant. In this context, it represents items that are no longer needed or useful to their owners, and are thus sold at reduced prices.
The white elephant stall offers a wide range of objects, such as household goods, clothing, books, toys, and bric-a-brac, which are donated or contributed by individuals or organizations as a way to support a cause or raise funds for charity. The items found in a white elephant stall are typically in varying conditions, as they may have been previously used, but can still have significant value or serve a purpose for someone else.
Shoppers at a white elephant stall often find a hodgepodge of items, lending a sense of excitement and curiosity to the browsing experience. These stalls can be a treasure trove for bargain hunters, collectors, or individuals seeking unique or vintage items. The proceeds generated from the sale of these items are typically used for charitable purposes or to support the event's organization, making the white elephant stall not only a place of commerce but also a way to contribute to a greater cause.
