Responding to demand, the organizers of the Student House\u2019s flea market in Copenhagen has expanded the number of booths. Starting out at only 26 booths, the flea market now has 79 booths where students can sell their old stuff.<\/p>\n
The first Sunday of each month the study hall and the caf\u00e9 in the Studenterhuset are turned into this popular indoor flea market. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe booths are often sold out the first day you can buy them. That is why we have added another fifteen booths. It\u2019s the fourth time we have to expand,\u201d says Niels Mads Nielsen, Studenterhuset’s organizer of the flea market.<\/p>\n
The next flea market is this Sunday, 2 February. The booths are sold out, and the Facebook event has more than 400 people attending.<\/p>\n
However, while the flea market has proven popular, the popularity also has a lot to do with timing:<\/p>\n
\u201cThe interest in the flea market changes and often depends on other events such as exam periods and Distortion,\u201d says Niels Mads Nielsen. <\/p>\n
The sellers at the flea market are students, most of whom wish to get rid of old or rarely used clothes.<\/p>\n
\u201cMainly clothes are sold, but as a seller you are welcome to sell almost everything, as long it is not something we sell in the bar. Besides, you can get away with selling many of the more crazy things from the wardrobe since tourists from Str\u00f8get buy all sorts of weird stuff,\u201d says Niels Mads Nielsen.<\/p>\n
The flea market is frequented by students, locals and tourists alike who buy plenty of things, and the sellers do not necessarily have to drag the stuff they haven\u2019t sold back home with them.<\/p>\n
The Studenterhuset has made a deal with Red Cross so that the sellers, if they wish to, can donate the rest of their things to the charity organization.<\/p>\n
\u201cRed Cross gets the stuff people can’t sell if the sellers want to donate. The items are in a good quality, so I’m happy that they come to good use somewhere else,\u201d says Niels Mads Nielsen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
