Re: Troc/depot
Yes.... we also have one in Thonon-les-Bains. Prices are much, much higher than on eBay or on Swiss Ricardo [equivalent] We have only bought one thing there = mostly the prices are outrageous. Sheila

Re: Troc/depot
We love our troc and have got some amazing bargains. The solid oak dresser: 4m long, took 4 men to carry in and which is universally admired...for less than 400 euro. Matching pair of single beds for 10 euros the pair (ok needed some minor fixing up but are great). Two uplighters at 5 euros each. Leather office chair - 20 euros...I could go on ad tedium. My fave place.
Ok there is some crap there too - but tis so much fun browsing

Re: Troc/depot
Our local Troc shop is horrendously expensive and not very well patronised because of this, but being a fairly upmarket area not too distant from Geneva, what can one expect. Personally, we use Ricardo - a goldmine of eveything one can conceive of, inexpensive and mostly good quality, but then it's best to be able to communicate in Swiss-German or otherwise at least High German. For those interested, see Ricardo.ch...........much better than eBay! Sheila
