ReUse Market – Auckland’s City Centre
About this Event
You’re invited to the launch of our new ReUse Market in Auckland’s City Centre.
Background
In August 2012, Grey Lynn 2030 started our community Car Boot Market. Held on the last Sunday of the month in the Grey Lynn RSC car park, it has become a much-loved part of the city. Our market is a place for anyone who wants to sell, swap, downsize, or just give away things they no longer need.
Twelve years on, the climate has changed; the market has been rainy many times, which is annoying for both our shoppers and sellers. So we have been looking for a covered space to run the market.
We now have a new second central venue in Auckland’s City Centre, Victoria St. Car Park.
Auckland Council and Auckland Transport have agreed for us use the space on the ground floor for our new market.
We have a new name to reflect our passion and what drives our market: ReUse.
ReUse Market
The ReUse Car Boot Market will run on the second Sunday of the month, starting on Sunday, April 14th, during EcoFest.
The market is for second-hand items only; there is no new stuff; there is already enough stuff on our planet.
Selling at the Reuse Market
Our monthly market is an alternative to running your own garage sale; no advertising is necessary (we take care of that), and there is no need for the hassles of Facebook Marketplace and Trade Me.
You can sell from a table or from the ground (bring a mat, bring a table, and bring a way to hang and display clothes).
We request that you drop off your items for sale and then find a parking space in the car parking building.
One price: $30 per site
Booking a spot to sell from
To be sure you get a space, please PRE-BOOK and PAY IN ADVANCE for your spot. If you turn up on the day, you cannot be guaranteed a space.
We are taking bookings now for our first market on Sunday, April 14th.
