Second hand market / Mercado de segunda mano

In these times of economic crisis we all have to save money somehow and the second hand market becomes a possibility as it is quite big in The Netherlands. There's a website called Marktplaats (in Dutch) where you can find almost everything. Moreover, there are lots of expats who come here for one year and at the end of their stay they sell a lot of stuff almost new.

Of course, bicycles are the flagship product in the second hand market. Ours are second hand and they are in a very good condition. When we came here we bought some second hand stuff because we didn't know how long we were gonna stay here, so we thought it was not worth buying new furniture. For example our diswasher is second hand and I can tell you it's way much better than the new one we bought a few years ago in Spain.

Have you ever bought any second hand good?
