The really free market is a donation based event where people can donate all new and used items from clothes, household necessities, food and basic supplies that are then given away for free to anybody who attends. This mutually supports sustainable usage of goods as well as access to them while providing all participants with necessary ability to meet their needs at no cost to them.
