"Yard sales"

Since many people live in apartments here, its kind of hard to have a yard sale or garage sale...I think some of the apparent street vendors are actually just residents selling some extra stuff.  I'm not sure what the rules are for doing this (permit required?) but they just seem to show up in random places.  There have also been people selling homemade breads and canned vegetables just outside the grocery store...

  1. There are no such thing as Yard sells in Poland. One reason is as You said there are not so many apartments as in US. Other reason is that 20 years ago people did not have to many things to spare, everything was reused as much as possible. What You can see is kind of mini market, there are sometimes one person with table, other times more. And it also comes from communist time, when shops were usually empty so people learned how to survive simply selling and buying on the streets like that.
