    hey

    i'm a freak for second-hand stores, most of my clothes are second hand - you find the coolest retro/hippies stuff in some thrift stores, especially in big cities [​IMG]
    ANYWAY. hehe (getting carried away)
    this summer i'm doing a bit of travelling in europe, going to Copenhagen, Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris and Madrid.
    if anyone is familiar with these cities, do you know about any good second hand shops? i'd be so grateful to know about them!
    (i know one in madrid, i forget the name right now but i can get details if anyone is interested [​IMG] )
    thanx!
    peace

    love opp-shopping!! I am the queen of opp-shopping! I'd say 95% of everything i own is second-hand. Dont know any shops in Europe, but if u ever come to Adelaide I can tell you where ALL of them are! My advice would be to look 'em up in a phone book when u get there.... that's what i do when i travel :)

    hey

    thats a really good idea, looking them up in the phone book (never occured to me hehe) :p
    i thought a really great idea would be to create a new tread that served as a second-hand shop directory
    if all the ppl from hipforums contributed we could make a huge list!! (this is exciting me so much! hehe) that way when you travel you'll know where to shop :)
    what do you think?

    peace

    Shrimpgirl...


    A most excellent idea indeed.
    Seeins how I live WAY out in the woods, I have to travel just to get food.
    Just can't hop in the truck and cruise for them so...hoping some in southern Ohio are listed...
