SwapSity Swap Meet & Garage Sale
It's finally here! SwapSity will be hosting a Swap Meet on Saturday August 29th from 1:30pm-5:30pm in downtown Toronto. Keep useful things out of landfills, find new treasures, free yourself from the clutter and have tons of fun trading! This green event will bring savvy swappers, garage sale fans, eco-enthusiasts, parents and thrifty shoppers together, under one roof. Hold your own garage sale or browse what others have to offer for barter or sale. With both swapping and selling taking place, it will be the ultimate garage sale and swap meet rolled into one. You can even give things away for free. It doesn't get any better than that!
Use this opportunity to hold a moving sale without the need of promoting it yourself. Empty the attic and garage and meet other bargain hunters face-to-face. You can bring virtually anything to the swap meet: household items, clothes, accessories, collector items, arts & crafts, books, movies, CDs, electronics, technology, video games and much more. There will be a section dedicated exclusively for parents wanting to trade kids' items such as clothes, books, toys, games, baby stuff or family videos. Even skills and services are fair game. There are over 50 booths at the event. If you want to reserve a table for your own garage sale, remember to purchase your tickets in advance. They are selling out! If you simply want to browse the items, just register for free and simply show up with $2 payable at the door. You may even bring a few things for swap/sale along with you. Also, be sure to bring a reusable bag to carry home the treasures you find!
