Wink second hand furniture

One of the best places we have found is emporia on the outskirts of Ancona. there are two shops, one more on the outskirts than the other. They have an excellent website Emporia I supermercati dell'usato > Home where you can browse what they have in stock before you make the trip.
Hope this helps.

Default mercantino

Hi to all,
Just been to a very interesting mercantino called Centro dell Usato, Via Tavo 290, in Pescara. Lots of stuff there, and very low prices. While we were looking for it, going through on the SS16 going out of Pescara we passed another place which was shut, but looked really good. Will go back and look at that another time.

Someone from the forums contacted me about six months ago saying he restored old wooden windows and had a warehouse full of em. Perhaps he also had other architectural salvage...? Unfortunately I can't find his message nor remember his name. Think he was in the Pescara area. Any ideas anyone?
If you do know who he is, I'd love to talk to him soon about some restoration work in my house...!

Speaking of second hand furniture, does anyone else use Annunci Subito.it - Compro e Vendo It's a classifieds site. Plenty of junk on there... and the odd useful thing too!
There's another second hand shop in Popoli, also useful. They have a wide selection of skis at €15 a pair for example.

Olio di Lino is the fellows name, he is up in Pretoro, I bought a couple of fantastic old doors from him.
