Fleamarkets are wonderful. I bought the exact same model of backpack that I have since 2008 and got me through university. The price was 5 times as much as I bought today, for only 18€. The old one is still in a fairly good condition but there is a hole forming at the bottom from sliding on the floor and there are abrasions in the lower back area. The good thing is that I don't have to readjust to a completely new backpack once the old one falls apart. I was eyeing on some backpacks but they are flawed as they often don't provide an extra big secondary compartment for stuff like a rain poncho, umbrella, bicycle repair tools and such. And if they do they are behemoths and cost too much.
