Second-hand Market
📖 Kumasi's 'Second-hand Market' scene, particularly at the sprawling Kejetia Market, is a vibrant hub for resellers seeking diverse goods. You'll find everything from traditional Kente cloth and African prints to second-hand shoes, clothing, and electronics. Beyond Kejetia, areas like Asafo Market are known for second-hand clothing and household items, offering good bargains. An insider tip for resellers is to arrive early at markets like Kejetia, which opens around 7 AM, to get the best selection before the crowds.
