Where the Glory days ended up

It all began with a very small group of antique and curiosities sellers. People coming by were few, without money and mostly skeptical. Then the current crisis came and people started looking at these markets with a different eyes. There came more and more sellers, with their loads of undefined items and the market grew one Sunday after the other. But people still kept to be without money. Moving through the stands became a sport, a way to spend some time, looking at the remains of a glorious past time.
