Selling and buying starts from after 8:00am. From 6:00am to about 7:30 the market looks empty with a few stores open and you can see few packing stuff out to arrange at the entrance to catch the attention of potential buyers.
Serious buying and selling begins with erecting of the over 200 or so umbrella's displayed for shade and protection of items for sale right at, what was supposed to be the car park. The entrance is not spared with sellers sitting at both ends working hard to make ends meet.
Most of the items are taken when a car is passing, afterwards it's brought back and back to business. Items ranging from fabric, cereals, tubbers, pottery, animals etc can be purchased in this market. Whatever you want to buy, be prepared to try your experience in negotiating the price.
