<p>[QUOTE="mhc4444, post: 107838, member: 1469"]in Denmark we dont have words that differentiate the levels of antiqueing on markets apart from 2. loppemarked, which is litterally flea market, and antikmarked, antique market. we also have something called a kræmmermarked, but that usually not anything in relation to antiques, or even retro/vintage. a kræmmermarked is litterally a junk sale, where old electronics, and importet chinese plastic stuff fills the stalls along side dozen upon dozen of identical plain flower pots, and the occational garden tools and a bike.</p><p><br /></p><p>previously i went to a weekly fleamarked on an open harbor area in a city a bit north of my own village, every stand was marked and were 3x3 meters, and there was a basement underneath for parking (that was a public one that just happended to be free parking on sundays, yaay~) and that market is what i would call equal to a carboot sale in Denmark, because people arived with their car, unloaded, parked, set up stall, and it was with everything from decluttering sales, to semi profesional dealers, and there even was this army veteran who had 2 entire stalls filled only with vintage toy cars <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /> my own stand usually featured a decent mix of glass, both antique vintage and modern, silver flatware and jewelery (which i luckily had in a display case gennerously given to me by my fathers friend who is a retired watchmaker), vintage pottery, misc metal things, and my usual box on the floor with bags of misc flatware in bags for 1£ each <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> those bags were always a big hit~ all the other stands had pieces singled out for between 20p and 1£ each, but they never sold any of it <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /> i almost sold all my flatware every time~[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
