Lima is a city where collectors can find lots of old stuff for their collection. Whether is Classic Sport Books , toys or something else, there are some places that are worth visiting if you are a passionate collector.

Some tourists and Classic Sport Books collectors have found incredible magazines and books that they thought they could never find in a city so far away from the original country where the book was released.

In Lima center there are shops that are dedicated to store used things that can be resold to collector or anyone in general. Lets remember that Lima is located in a third world country where there is very poor people. This means that the demand for used stuff for a reasonable price is high.

Some people wonder how such rare items such as Classic Sport Books or rare vinyl editions can be found in such a far away city. Lets remember that in old times the music industry was very profitable in Lima. Local artist sold their records very well as well as international artist. Is the same in the case of publications. When selling books was profitable Lima was considered as important as any other market in the world. In fact many foreign publications reached Lima bookshelves quite easily. Lima was a modern city where the educated class demanded the latest in the world of arts and literature. Others indicate that embassies and international companies that had branches in Peru played also a big role importing magazines and records.

These markets where the second hand goods are sold carry a lot of peculiar stuff too. There are lots of pictures in black and white and sepia. If you ask the seller if they manage to sell those pictures they will come up with unbelievable stories about people who have found pictures of members of their family or even themselves. As everybody days there, it only takes a little bit of patience to find something you will want to take home.

If you are willing to go to the markets, we recommend that you consider spending a few hours going through all the stuff that there is to see. They are piles and piles of documents and you might lose something if you don’t look carefully.

All this stuff gets there because there is people who go through all the garbage that the city produces and they rescue everything that is possible to be resold. This people are extremely poor and they need to accumulate lots of stuffs that they take in several journeys in order to get a few dollars. Remember to take cash with you because if you see something collectable and you don’t have cash , you might return in a few hours and they would have already sold it.
