ReUse Flea Market in Victoria Street Carpark.

Brian from Mount Roskill

Come to shop or sell preloved goods Auckland's city centre flea market.

Flea markets are all about finding and selling secondhand items. The ReUse market is for anyone who wants to downsize, declutter. Moving city? - we are great for that too.

The ReUse Market runs on the second Sunday of each Month from 10am-2pm. Vehicle entry is at 30 Kitchener Street and pedestrian entry from High Street. The market is for second hand items only, no new goods - you never know what you might find!

There's plenty of parking - for both shoppers and sellers. The market is on the ground floor of the Victoria St Carpark - up by Albert Park. (don't get confused with the previous Victoria Park Market).

Selling at the ReUse Market:
=======================
For just $30 per site, you can sell your own items at the ReUse Market and make some money from selling stuff you no longer use. The ReUse Market is a great alternative to running your own garage sale, no advertising necessary, no need for the hassles of Facebook Marketplace and TradeMe. You can sell from a table, or from the ground with a mat. Be sure to bring a way to hang and display clothes.

Also the market is undercover so need to worry about rain cancellations. There's plenty of space for shoppers to park in building upstairs.

Proudly supported by Auckland Council and the city centre targeted rate.

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

Even Australians get it - so why not Kiwis???

Markus from Green Bay

“Ten years ago, if a heatwave as intense as last week’s record-breaker had hit the east coast, Australia’s power supply may well have buckled. But this time, the system largely operated as we needed, despite some outages.

On Australia’s main grid last quarter, renewables and energy storage contributed more than 50% of supplied electricity for the first time, while wholesale power prices were more than 40% lower than a year earlier.

[…] shifting demand from gas and coal for power and petrol for cars is likely to deliver significantly lower energy bills for households.

Last quarter, wind generation was up almost 30%, grid solar 15% and grid-scale batteries almost tripled their output. Gas generation fell 27% to its lowest level for a quarter century, while coal fell 4.6% to its lowest quarterly level ever.

Gas has long been the most expensive way to produce power. Gas peaking plants tend to fire up only when supply struggles to meet demand and power prices soar. Less demand for gas has flowed through to lower wholesale prices.”

If even Australians see the benefit of solar - then why is NZ actively boycotting solar uptake? The increased line rental for electricity was done to make solar less competitive and prevent cost per kWh to rise even more than it did - and electricity costs are expected to rise even more. Especially as National favours gas - which is the most expensive form of generating electricity. Which in turn will accelerate Climate Change, as if New Zealand didn’t have enough problems with droughts, floods, slips, etc. already.
