This Sunday 5th, we will have the first Flea Market of July and the organizers put together a group of specialists in antiquities that is one of the sectors to be developed in the market.

Zarith Pérez, organizer of the flea market, says that the panamanians doesn´t like to buy to much things of second hand; meanwhile in other countries they are used to buy clothes and other second hand things. She considers that this is because buying new things in Panama is very accessible because of the low prices.

Pérez says: "Is good that if we have books, lamps, and other objects, bring it to the flea market because there are people that really need it and is a way of recycle".

For the fashion designer Hélène Breebaart the big issue is that the panamanians see what is of second hand  as a old thing and doesn´t look at it as an object of history.

Federico Estrella, from the antique shop "El Ático", agrees with Breebaart and ensures that sometimes the people doesn't know that they have things of value in their house. If you think that have something  of value or antiques in your house, do some research in the internet to know more abouth the object with that information you can have an idea of the price of the item, instead of sell it in a lower price just for ignorance.
