Good things without any payment
There are places in Bamberg where you can go shopping without spending any money:
- In the Kleiderkammer “Jacke wie Hose”, you can find clothing for you and your family. You can also find toys for children here. If you need things for a baby, such as a baby stroller, you also can ask.
- The Mosaik-Umsonstladen is special. Everyone pays 1€ for a visit. You can take everything there for free. But you are limited to only take as many as you can fit in a bucket, so that there is still plenty for everyone else. Here you can find clothing for adults and children, kitchen equipment, toys, books, CDs and DVDs and much more. The Mosaikladen is not only a store. It is also a meeting point for kind people: Everyone is welcomed!
- In the Cariboutique, you can find clothing for babies and children and toys for children below their 3rd age after presenting your permission card (available in the consulting point of the Caritas).

-
Watch out for things that need to be shipped or can be picked up directly.
-
When picking up directly: Search for the address beforehand to avoid long (and expensive) rides
-
Be careful with scammers: Check if the seller can be trusted (e.g. check the ratings and other offered products of the seller) and pay via PayPal, which is much safer.
- Tips for selling:
-
High quality photos and a detailed description are important
-
If the product has any malfunctions, you definitely need to mention them in the product description!
-
Watch out for scammers: Ship the product only after receiving the payment.
-
The safest way is the payment via PayPal or a credit card or a direct pickup and payment via cash
