Hi

Hi,

Yes there are. I am not Finnish, so I don't know the name of the places, but I am sure somebody else will reply. Anyway, I have 3 kids and tons of stuff. Wewant to get rid of things and are very much interested in selling our stuff. What do you need and how old are your children?

Hi! :) It depends to where in Finland you are going to move. Are you moving to Helsinki? From Helsinki you can find many second hand shops but the best one is in Pasila (it is one area in Helsinki), and it is called "Waltterin makasiinit" in finnish (if you put it to google you should find the adress and the way how to go there). ;) It is really big and old bilding and everybody who wants can go there to sell their stuff what they don't need anymore. There is always really much people so you can find usually everything what you need to find. And it is much more cheaper in there than in normal shops so I also visit there quite often. ;)) But it is just open 3 times in week: wednesday, saturday and sunday...
