History

Segundamano was founded as a free weekly magazine of classified ads in 1978.^[2] It was acquired by the Canadian company Trader Classified Media in 1998.^[3]

In 2004, Anuntis and Segundamano merged to create the first classifieds company in the Spanish-speaking world: Grupo Anuntis-Segundamano.^[4]

The Norwegian Schibsted became main shareholder of Grupo Anuntis-Segundamano in 2006, buying 76% of the company.^[5] Schibsted also owns other classified ad websites, which are known in Spain and Latin America as InfoJobs, Coches.net, balçao.com.br or fotocasa.es.

In 2008, Grupo Anuntis-Segundamano decided to stop publishing the paper magazine Segundamano, after 30 years on newsstands,^[6] making itself a 100% online media company.

In 2013, Schibsted bought out the other shareholder Primeramá, to become the sole shareholder.^[7]

In 2015, the Spanish activities were rebranded to VIBBO.^[8] The Mexican activities continue using the Segundamano brand.
