I went there in April 2015 and found the market to be really huge but terribly overpriced for most…read moreitems sold. I was specifically looking for vintage clothing and accessories, there was hardly any. Many other items for sale were in average condition with obvious flaws, prices for a good quality bag in good condition would start from 100 Euros. Lego kits would cost more then on auction sites (I bought one for my children and it was 40 Euros online while similar kits were prices from 65 to 80 at the market). I am sure there were bargains but I was not lucky enough to find them. Overall I did expect much more from a market of this size, I have visited other markets, 10 times smaller and surely cheaper with better choice.

Every year I look forward to this flea market. One of the great things about this city is the…read moreannual neighborhood flea markets that happen across various city neighborhoods. It's a great way to get to know your city and also pick up some great bargains. Typically held during spring and summer it's an event most locals look forward to. Centered around Wörthstraße the Haidhausen flea market is quite big and loads of residents put out their wares. Tons of clothes, toys, household items and knick knacks about. Don't hesitate to bargain, it is expected ;-)) I always do anyway, it's in my blood "born to negotiate" lol Loads of cafes in the area and you can pop in for coffee or lunch and make a day of it.

But this sort of second hand fashion means upto 80% you donate still ends up in landfill. Flohpalast on the other hand sells everything. Ones trash is another's treasure. The prices are cheaper, the shelves are packed from top to bottom and the stock is updated and discounted daily. They value the true meaning and sentiment behind second hand fashion etc. I think most of these people and second hand organisations forget 1- this stuff is donated 2- it's about reducing waste 3- it's cheap for a reason, the people who buy second hand might not always be doing it out of choice but necessity. This accessible, kind, welcoming shop is the best charity shop in town because it's the only one that's actually like a flea market!

Very sloppy and unorganized. Stuff is just scattered everywhere in piles. And you can find…read moresimilar items NEW if you shop for sales. I found a few small items that I could have lived without. Ok to check out but don't go out of your way.
