Has anyone had a stall at a local fair

DV is this your new hideout? Take no notice of others, you are a star! Flea markets, come on you know the answer is far to difficult to do such things! By the way you can't be a UK resident spending several months of the year in Italy.. Love the blog!

As long as you are not selling new stuff, you can have a stall in a flea market run by an associazione of some type and sell 2nd hand stuff without all the usual paperwork.  You will hvae to be a member of the associazione.   

Please can I have the details of the associazione for seling of secondhand goods if possible. I would like toexplore this furtherThanks 

thanks Steve -yes I am a bit bruised and battered from the abruzzolutely forum lately  so I'm seeking refuge here in the hope of finding a nicer class of person to argue with !!I think you can live in another EU country for 180 days before you need to pop over the border then return to Italy.If you are from outside the EU then its another matter.Thats what the inland revenue told me anyway!!I'm not sure that I'd want to enter into the process of signing up and paying fees to the Flea Market trust or whatever as I was probably thinking of a fairly informal affair just selling at Festas from my boot which I'm going to rig up with shelving and retro fabrics! 

It will be a local associazione so you'll have to find out what there is around you.  The idea of turning up, paying a fiver and selling stuff does not exist in Italy - you wont get far - either with the people that control the market, or the police or the GDF
