If you are the organiser for a flea market or a swap meet or a car boot sale even a garage sale…
I invite you to supply me with all your details here and I will post the times and details up on a special page for you.
When the listing have become a lot I will then do a separate page for each country which would get another page with your links up online.
As a start I am going to put up the local listings that I remember out of my head here and those markets will get an e mail invite from me.
