Second-hand items are becoming increasingly popular. Thanks to the second-hand market, not only the environment but also your own wallet can breathe a sigh of relief. Krone+ met up with Tina Zickler at the Repair Festival in Vienna's MuseumsQuartier to chat about trends, motifs and the climate.

The Playstation hums quietly, the beer is poured into beautiful tulips and a VW Golf waits in the driveway for the next exit. All the items have one thing in common: they were purchased at a wide variety of second-hand markets. The choice of places to buy previously used goods has multiplied in recent years. In addition to internet portals such as Willhaben or Vintage, flea markets and second-hand stores continue to enjoy great popularity.
