Posted earlier today on their FB Page:

Very successful Paphos market
And car boot
FOR SALE
For details contact us on 96586744

Another post below says the current owners have had it for four years.

Somewhere I enjoy visiting most Sundays so hope someone soon comes along and takes it over as it is one of the Paphos institutions.

Can't think why anyone would want to buy it.

Books !

There is or was a very good book stall inside the building, as well as bricabrack stalls outside.
But there is also a very good charity book shop at Tremithousa.

Trev..

you can get very good smoked Haddock from Smokey Pete at the duckpond

Now there's a phonetic nightmare we shared in the earlier M$N incarnation of CyprusLiving, Jacs...

I wonder if his two mobile homes are still parked there in Pissouri?

Cheers- AL

Never gave that a thought Al

Is there no more News re the sale of the Duckpond... Is it all the premises there that are for sale, or just the goodwill of the business..

Trev..

Is the Sunday market in Timi still going, I wonder?

Al, remind me how to get there and I'll take a look sometime! Just can't imagine they could still be there??? Surely not

Sos, mean the mobiles not Timi. Think Timi still going but not so robust.

My understanding is that One person owns the Land, Another person owns the Building and if such is the case only the Goodwill, such as it is, would be for sale. I have no idea what that would be worth. A divided and somewhat precarious position.

Yes, Goodwill is always a difficult thing to sell. It can disappear so very very quickly..

Jacs- just take Georgi up to the top of old Pissouri village on top of the hill. Enjoy a nice lunch in one of the many tavernas up there (Grapevine, if I remember?) or down on the seafront afterwards. Whilst up on the top, do you remember that circular open air amphitheatre? We looked down and spotted the mobile homes way down the bottom of the hill, SE I think... Then drove down for a closer inspection, LOL!

I bet they're still there, for refugees maybe?

Cheers- AL x

Re.. Grapevine... Do you mean 'Bunch of Grapes'

Trev..

Yep, I do remember now Al, will drive over some time. No chance of you coming over any time in the near future?? Lotsa changes mate since you last been, how many years now?? Must be at least 5, Georgi been here getting on for 5 and it was waaaaayyyy before that!

Re goodwill - it's also very difficult to account for, has to be written off v quickly, can't now remember the rates, but at least 20% per year I think, - unless a longer period can be amply justified - which is quite a hefty annual cost when starting up a business.
