Second-hand Market, Lumo
📖 Serekunda Market, often called a 'Lumo' by locals, is the bustling heart of Serekunda's reseller scene, offering a vibrant maze of goods. Resellers can unearth a diverse array of items, from second-hand clothing and shoes in the textile sections to unique handcrafted jewelry, carved wooden items, and vibrant African fabrics. Beyond the main market, smaller stalls and workshops line the surrounding streets and alleys, providing opportunities to find everything from mobile phone accessories and electronics to traditional herbal medicines and household goods. An insider tip for resellers is to visit during weekday mornings for the freshest finds and a slightly less crowded experience, and always be prepared to haggle respectfully, as it's an integral part of the trading culture here.
