ReUse Market - Auckland's City Centre - October

Come join us at our October ReUse Market in Auckland's City Centre - come to shop or come to sell.

This month we are making the spaces free to sellers! Yes FREE.  

Background

Our market is a place for anyone who wants to to sell, swap, downsize or just give things away you no longer need. We really like stall holders who want to sell handmade upcycled items. 

Our central covered venue is in Auckland's City Centre on the ground floor of Victoria St Car Park on the High St entrance. Just up from Queen St. 

Car entry is on Kitchener St. Walking entry is easiest from High St. 

Details

The ReUse Car Boot Market runs on the second Sunday of the Month.

The market is for second hand items only – no new stuff as we think there is already enough stuff on our planet. We like to keep the prices affordable. Our aim is to move stuff on to somebody who will appreciate the item and save it from landfill.

You never know what you might find! 

Selling at the ReUse Market

Our monthly covered market is an alternative to running your own garage sale, no advertising necessary (we take care of that), no need for the hassles with Facebook Marketplace and Trade Me.

You can sell from a table or from the ground (bring a mat, bring a table, bring a way to hang and display clothes). Also bring something heavy to stop the display racks running down the slight slope. 

We request you drop off your items for sale and then find a park for your vehicle in the car parking building. 

Set up from 8.00 am. The market gets going  properly at around 10.00 am and finishes at 2.00 pm.

We ask you to unload and then move your car to somewhere else in the carparking building (max. $10 per day on weekends) or find a street park. Or grab an Uber and drop your stuff off. 

The sites are the size of car park. No need for gazebos as the space is inside. 

Booking a Spot to Sell 

To be sure you get a space please PRE BOOK and PAY IN ADVANCE for your spot. If you just turn up on the morning to sell you are not guaranteed a space.

If you are interested in taking a stall and have more questions please contact Suzanne Kendrick 027 360 4564

Hours

The ReUse Market opens for the stall holders on the Second Sunday of the month at 8.00 a.m and to shoppers from 10.00 am until 2.00 pm. We have made the market a little later than other markets as we have found this is when most shoppers are out and about in central Auckland.

Sellers please don't turn up too early. We will be there from 8.00 am to guide you in to your place.

Background

In August 2012 Grey Lynn 2030 started the Car Boot Market. Held on the Last Sunday of the Month in the Grey Lynn RSC Car park and has become a much enjoyed community institution.

Twelve years on the climate has changed - the market has been rain affected many times which is annoying for both our shoppers and sellers. We were looking for a covered space to run another market. We now have a new second, central venue in Auckland's City Centre - Victoria St Car Park. 

We have a new name to reflect our passion and what drives our market - ReUse Market

Thanks to the Auckland City Centre Targetted Rate and to Auckland Council/Auckland Transport for kindly letting us use the carparking building for our market.
