Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How does the event work?

You have two great ways to participate:

  • Option A: Sell Your Own Gear at a Table

    Reserve a table to sell your items directly to other families. You may keep all the profits from your sales - we simply ask for a CHF 5 donation for the table fee, which goes directly to POW.

  • Option B: Donate Your Gear to Us

    Drop off your pre-loved gear in the Collecting Box that will be available in the North Building entrance between 28 September and 8 October. We will sell it at the event and all proceeds will go directly to POW. Any items left unsold will be donated to local charity partners.

Where and when can I drop-off DONATED gear?

Starting Monday 28 September through Thursday 8 October, a large collection box will be available in the North Building Entrance.

How do I reserve a table to sell my own gear?

Where does the money go?
