The economic crisis has boosted a small business that is now attracting a lot of covetousness: that of second-hand shops and flea markets. With its 3,500 stands, the Paris market is the largest in France, an astonishing kingdom of bric-a-brac, from trendy clothes to antique furniture, including bazaars of all kinds that know only one law: that of negotiation. With purchasing power at half-mast, it attracts thousands of consumers tempted by low prices, but also second-hand dealers who try to earn a little money on the black market by selling off everything they no longer need. But the atmosphere is sometimes electric between the counterfeit traffickers and the official sellers, between the "biffins", these rag-and-bone men who live off salvage, and the police who want to "clean up" the neighborhood, between the antique dealers and a mysterious English lord who bought a good part of their shops for 50 million euros. Many people want to get their hands on the booming flea markets. So who are the winners and losers in this merciless battle? Author: Stéphane Rodriguez - Sophie Romillat.
