It was 1997 when 2dehands was created in a student home. A couple of young guys thought it would be a good idea to create a website to sell their second hand computer pieces and buy things other people didn’t need or want anymore. Today, 2dehands and 2ememain are not only about computers; cars, clothes, items for babies and children, construction material and furniture are the most popular categories. Anything second hand you can imagine is for sale at the biggest and most popular online market in Belgium.

Back in the late 1970s, someone had the bright idea of publishing a paper with nothing but classified ads. It was called Den Blå Avis, and Denmark loved it. Fast-forward to 1995, when the Internet was just beginning to take off. Den Blå Avis boldly launched a classifieds site (www.dba.dk) that soon became wildly popular.

In 2008, we joined eBay. Today, DBA is the number one classifieds site in Denmark with more than 20 million visits a month and 1.3 million users. The simple format of DBA makes it incredibly easy for users to buy or sell just about anything from smart phones, design furniture, branded kid’s clothing or even finding the perfect house or flat anywhere in Denmark.

A pioneer in online classifieds, Marktplaats was founded in Emmeloord. The idea was to recycle castoffs and help customers find things they needed at reasonable prices. People loved the friendly community focus, and Marktplaats soon became the most popular e-commerce site in the Netherlands.

In 2004, Marktplaats joined eBay. With millions of items listed for sale, it is the Netherlands’ favorite online source for just about anything you could possibly need or want — new or second-hand, from cars and household goods to houses, services, jobs, bicycles, boats and pets.

Members of the Marktplaats community share a neighborly spirit and know they can find smart deals close to home on items they want to buy, sell or simply give away.
