Ruilplein

Ruilplein (trading square) went back to the true value of products. Everything could be exchanged: your microwave for an ice machine, a bike lock for a comic book, and plants for apple pie. Are you a good singer or juggler, or do you give great organization advice? You could offer your services. Trading is useful and practical, but above all a lot of fun. However, trading is not always easy; sometimes it requires quite a bit of effort and experience. Ruilplein offered a friendly trading environment.
