Expats.cz presents a live marketplace for members of the international community to buy and sell their goods!

Tell your friends and save the date: June 18, 2011!

The International Market is a fun day event which brings together buyers and sellers from all over the community. Our 3rd market will take place at Holešovická Tržnice – in the Main Square. Expect to find members of the community selling their items, including toys, games, hardware, books, DVDs, CDs, and much more.

You’re sure to find a bargain!

Entry to the market is FREE. Seller admission costs 300 CZK. You MUST pre-register as a seller, as space will fill up quickly – first come, first served! To pre-register, please click here.

Books, electronics, furniture, games, toys, CDs, DVDs, Kitchenware, Relics, Food and much more! A limited number of companies will also be allowed to sell their goods at the event with a flat fee. Also, there will be some entertainment and activities throughout the day.

Sellers display their items from behind their parked cars and wait for buyers, who roam from car to car, inspecting goods and asking questions. It’s a lot of fun – you can haggle for a fair price and sometimes walk away with the thing you always wanted – or the thing you never realized you wanted. But always a bargain.

In the UK, car ‘boot sales’ are a weekly occurrence; and in the United States every weekend brings a ‘Yard Sale’ or ‘Garage Sale’ to the neighborhood. As folks go through their homes they realize they have way too much stuff. And the rest of us descend on their items with glee! After the success of last year’s market, we thought we’d make this one bigger and better. More sellers, more things to enjoy, more community!

That’s the thinking behind this. If you share our thought, we hope to see you there, as it will be fun for the whole family.
