If you are ever out that way, you can check out the thrift store. Easiest entrance is the one on the road that says Haimoo 5km. They speak English there (at some folks do) and you can get pretty good deals on furniture/beds/etc. The clothes tend to be from the 80s but there are some good finds.

Desks run about 25 euros..clothes around 3 euros a piece. I've gotten some great vintage dishes for 1 euro each.

In Klaukkala, Nurmijärvi there is a "world" famous kirpputori.

Viirinkirppis is it's name.

I don't think it's anything special. But apparently a lot of people know about it and it's always of people. Tables cost 40€ per week! So it must be doing good business.

We went there a couple weeks ago! It was...interesting lol. 60 euros for a chair..I got my husband's computer chair for 12 euros at Selki store. Good deals on yarn but 40 euros a week for a table!!!!That's crazy!

Yeah, it's bullsh*t.

Children's secondhand ski shoes were over 30€.

That's why I never go there. I think I might have been twice in all the years I've lived it. The clothing for babies is alright. And I've found one or two treasures I guess the owner didn't realise was worth more than they thought. But basically it's overpriced stuff. The furniture especially. Just cause it's old, doesn't mean it's worth anything LOL.

I agree! They were selling stuff we have in our basement...table and dining sets for almost 200 euros.

True lol! I'd be amazed how much people ask for "vintage" stuff and you can find it being given away for free sometimes lol.
