Holy moly! I wasn't expecting thrift store furniture to be so pricey! Oof! The bed set that Brighton asked about would have been no more than $250 at any of the local thrift shops in my small southwestern Ontario town.
Some people take avantage of others.😡
That was a fun video! The iguana pot wins for me.
Good choice!
That first metal object is a banged up sliding strap winch off a commercial truck/trailer flat deck. He probably picked it up off the hwy right out front of store.
Hah! I wonder what he would have charged me for it.
2:38 fantastic door stop. Sounds more expensive than second hand stores in U.S., certainly more than Facebook Marketplace.
Everything is more expensive on the Baja Peninsula compared to mainland Mexico. We are like an island out here. But yes - they often buy at Goodwill in the US, bring it south and mark it up.
Our best buy ever was a bath tray. They sell for $40-50 in the US and we got it for $2 at a segunda. But only under the condition that we tell them what it was. They had no idea! Most people in Mexico don't have bathtubs. amzn.to/3IgbivE
Thanks, I drove past their on the way to Todos Santos, this is excellent information for me, all who are looking to retire in Mexico.
If you drove past the Segundas you probably drove past my house too - I'm just 10 minutes away on the highway to the north.
Omg..."if I'm going to be sacrilegious i should choose something a little more Catholic." That was hilarious🤣🤣 Min 43.
I’m a recovering Catholic:-)
Fun video! I love treasure hunting!!
I love the woman at the end of this video!
even as recently as 5 years ago i'd never seen a second hand store anywhere on the Baja....we are staying in El Pescadero and there aren't any brick & mortar stores, however they are popping up under awnings...2-3 show up on a weekly basis. We are looking for a cooler and plan to check them out. I've seen some things that tourists would buy (beach chairs/sun tent/umbrellas) and I am wondering if a tourist traded some items as they were leaving town for something else (barter) or if they sold them to the vendor. I will find out!
Great question! I wonder if tourists leave stuff behind at their hotel and then hotel staff sells them to the segundas. That would be efficient!
I found a number of segundas in Guerrero Negro.
The guy from Tangerine Travels would want the Las Vegas bottle.
Exactly! Great call - that's who I was thinking of.
This is so much fun!! Thank you for taking us along on this fun shopping experience! I go to the huge Market in San Martin Texmelucan, Puebla, Mexico.... If you get a chance to go there sometime I would love to get your take on that one!! Very fun shopping with you and these terrific people!
Puebla is on my short list of places to visit this summer. I’ll definitely check out this market if I go. Thanks for the tip!
Jordan would love the water bottle. Great finds Kat approved.
I love when people get my little references to other UA-camrs!
That was a fun video! I don't think that I would have gone to all of those places in one day unless I was on a mission, that was a lot of stuff you all looked through, lol. But what a great way to spend the day with friends! The Vegas water bottle would be for Jordan? Nugget looks good!!
Great call on the Vegas water bottle. You're correct!
As to Nugget, she does look good right now, but this video was actually recorded last spring before her surgery.
@@AlmostRetiredinMexico Ah, okay, so how is Nugget coming along?
Nugget is happy. We took her to the vet down here and he audibly gasped when he saw her wound. And he said she needed surgery. We sent photos to her "veterinary team" back home and they said, "it's healing nicely." And they said they wouldn't recommend any surgery for Nugget because she has such problems healing. We are going with the US team's answer for now. And they can see her in person in a couple months.
But she's playing with the puppies once in a while - so she's feeling good.
Thanks for asking.
That is absolutely impressive! I had no idea big second hand markets existed in Mexico! And i'm a native! I'm really dying for a fancy dinner table set, they're so gorgeous. I'm giving it a second watch to see if I find something interesting in the background :D. do they have a website or facebook so I can get in touch with them? I might have missed it sorry, I wonder if they can deliver to my town...
Hmmm... I never asked about delivery. That's a great question. I'm guessing you can buy anything fo the right price.
As to social media and websites - I've never seen any signs for them. Websites aren't super common. I couldn't find many on FB either. Here is one that lists prices (but only for a limited amount of merchandise.) Best of luck! facebook.com/segundayoly
Enjoyed watching the video.
You need to learn the exchange rate based on 17 to 2, It isn't going back to 20, probably 16 to 1 by year's end per international bankers.
I don't understand why the Mexican banks are predicting 18 or 19 to 1 by the end of 2024, but others are predicting the opposite. Ideas?
The red velvet shoes for the win!!!!
They were pretty. But I just couldn't commit.
Im surprised at how high the prices are.
Yeah - we were surprised too. But the baja peninsula is more expensive than the mainland and the dollar is pretty weak compared to the peso right now.
can you share the address of the store? and is there one similar in Cabo? thanks
There are about 20 in one area: maps.app.goo.gl/8WkV7GCbCn584U8r7?g_st=ic
In Cabo I’ve seen them spread out. But there’s at least a dozen. Google segunda and you’ll find them.

How about u and Cat painting some rocks for your doorstops🤩
I guess we could probably just use some rocks... even without painting them.
I vote for the colorful plate.
I vote for the colorful plate for the contest.
I'm sticking with the blue glass. If you put a small slit in the turtle it might make a great phone holder.🤣 😥 P n D
The dogs already try to eat my phone. Maybe the turtle would be good protection.
And it likely floats.@@AlmostRetiredinMexico
how we find this place from el centenario?
Head towards La Paz. It’s where the new speed bump is. Just before the airport road.
@@AlmostRetiredinMexico thank you.
at min 25:00 how rude! he walked away I know it's a business but he can be more accomodating
I think this might be an impact of speaking English as a second language. I don't think he heard her / knew she was talking to him. I often feel the same when someone says something to me in Spanish - I'm not really sure they are talking to me if I don't understand clearly ;-)
Mr. brighton ,,, would you sponsor me to open a segunda/Donation Center in La Paz??? I
I'm looking for sponsors myself. Once I start breaking even on this UA-cam thing, I might be ready to sponsor others!
You keep saying "segundo"...
Segundo means " a second "
The correct word is...Segunda with an "A" at the end.
I knew someone was gonna catch that! I corrected it in the closed captions, but I messed it up 90% of the time when I was talking (which is a lot harder to fix when editing.) The good news is that I'm 100% never going to forget how to pronounce it!
He stained furniture to hide the scratches. No thanks. Also, NO THANKS to possible bedbugs. ALWAYS, a new mattress. FYI
How else do you hide scratches?
I totally agree with you on the mattress. Those need to come brand new from a store.
I left my wallet in El Segundo
I bought a wallet there! I think it has your drivers license in it.
I thought the segunda items were overpriced. Some way overpriced.
Yeah - but lots of. We stuff is overpriced here too.
Brighton: When buying shoes .... ladies size 10 1/2 is not equivalent to men's size 10 1/2.
Shoe sizes are confusing. Why can't there be one system for everyone. Mexico is on a different system than the US and Europe is different too. And now you're telling me men's and women's sizes are different too? A crazy world we live in.
@AlmostRetiredinMexico I so agree. There seems to be a global unwritten law that things must NOT be simple! I enjoy your videos, thank you. I just got approved for permanent residency, I will visit the immigration office in early August to complete the process. Yea!
@@ellenbolf8993 Congrats on your residency!

You van buy hand crafts like pottery, home made traditional clothing ,etc.made by the natives ,in the southern states like Oaxaca ,Chiapas, etc .For much cheaper prices ! Really ! This is embarrasing ! These crooks make us Mexican people look bad. Sorry my Ex-pat ftiends . C-ya

Heck yeah !
Yes - but these things are more expensive in Baja California Sur. I’m going to bring an extra suitcase when I visit Oaxaca!
