How Racster works
There's something about walking into a shop or showing up at a market without quite knowing what's waiting inside. Racster doesn't take away that surprise — it just helps you get there.
We've deliberately kept Racster a plain, no-frills tool. No homepage packed with banners, no content pushing itself on you before you've asked for it — you search, and you get the places that fit.
Find places you didn't know about
Racster brings thrift stores, record shops, flea markets and record fairs together in one overview, instead of scattered across ten different Facebook groups and outdated lists. You can see what's around you right now, and what's coming up — whether you already know the area or have never been there before.
Get notified about new markets
Flea markets and record fairs get added all the time, and it's easy to miss them if you're not actively looking. That's why the app's home screen surfaces new markets in the categories you've picked – and the ones close to you – so you notice them without having to check in all the time.
See what's actually close by
Not everywhere is worth a long drive on an ordinary Saturday. Racster shows you how close the different places really are, so you can plan a trip around where you actually are — and discover spots in your own neighbourhood you might have walked past without noticing.
Keep track of when the markets happen
Flea markets and record fairs pop up and disappear again over the course of a season. Racster's calendar gives you the overview of what's happening this weekend, later this month, or further ahead — so you don't find out about a fair the day after it's over.
Plan your own day with My routes
Found several places you want to fit into one day? With My routes, you put together the shops and markets you want to visit into a single route, in whatever order you choose. You're still the one planning the route — Racster just keeps track of it for you.
Pass a place on
Sometimes you find a shop or market you want to tell someone about. In Racster, you can share it directly, so a friend can go there themselves — or come along next time you head out.
For shops and organisers
Do you run a record shop or thrift store, or are you behind a flea market or record fair? On Racster, you become visible to people who are already looking for exactly what you offer. No need to shout about it — the right visitors find their way there because they're looking for what you have.
