The Trixxo Arena hosted a successful second-hand fair, attracting around 10,000 visitors over two days. Organizer Erik Vanmanshoven noted a record turnout, with diverse items available at 765 stands. The event, celebrating its 50th edition soon, reflects a shift in attitudes towards second-hand shopping, as people seek affordable alternatives. The stigma around buying used goods has diminished, making such fairs increasingly popular.
