Exploring a second hand market in Germany

in #streetphotography6 years ago (edited)

I love exploring second hand markets and trying to find any hidden gems and interesting products. Not that I would have to buy every time - but really enjoy the atmosphere and see what people considering having value the 90's, 80's and even before! In Germany second hand markets are quite popular and show that consumer goods can be somehow recycled and therefore keep its value for other people and not only be simply thrown away, i.e. the oposit from a "disposable culture".

signs in polish "do not touch - electrical device!"

Quite nice objects for decoration - was wondering where this signs come from as they look very real and not being produced for decoration purpose only.

3 paitings for 10 Euros!

Paitings for in good state and also frames - depending on the store this would cost 10X more!

Analog camera PENTAX

PENTAX is a japanese high quality brand founded in 1919 in Tokyo. I was tempted to buy this camera which was still functional - and would serve as decoration piece. Its price including a telescope was 25 Euros as initial price - but I haven't bargained.

As you see, if you look closely you can find few hidden gems in the second hand market: definitely worth visiting one in case you find one in any city in Germany.

Oh, those signs would have been a perfect gift to a friend of mine that is an electrician with polish roots... and that is also into zombies.
