Second-hand Community Sales in Calgary:
Paula Says, "What a perfect way to reduce, reuse and recycle... a great way to reduce your carbon footprint! "
Calgary Community Sales are held every spring and fall. Please provide any information on sales in Spring 2010 using the feedback form to submit the info and we'll add it to the list. This is a FREE service. The list below is in chronological order.
Make sure you get there early (at least 30 minutes early if you can) and bring a laundry basket or big box for carrying items. BRING YOUR OWN BAGS! Dress warm for the wait and bring a cup of coffee! Leave your little one at home if you can.
One note, if you are a vendor at these sales, you usually get to shop prior to public access. There are usually some fantastic deals to be had on large play items. Typically you will need to volunteer your time during the sale.
