Second Hand Music Shops In Finland

Shops are generally not open in the evening at all and on saturdays they often close quite early. Mostly 2 o'clock. In both Helsinki and Turku there are free markets where you can bu things much cheaper than in shops. In Turku there is the kauputtori (can't miss it, every bus goes there) and I think during weekdays starting from 1600 or so, people sell their own stuff there. In Helsinki it is even better. At the end of Bulevardi (going from the center) there is a nice marketplace and although I'm not sure, chances are there is a market there every weekday. The biggest free market however is across the cabinet building on Mannerheimintie and it is held on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Thursdays. Be sure to check these out. If you are looking for cheapish things try Popkellari and CD Kane in Turku, and Fennica and Black and White in Helsinki. Around the corner from Black and White (in fact on the street coming from Hakaniemi) there is also a shop that I only saw going back to the airport. They had a LedZep album in the window so I guess they sell secondhand vinyl.
