A few openings remain in the Poland Vintage Market Buying Trip departing July 24, Robert Zurko announced today. Deadline for reservations is Wednesday, May 1. A $100 savings coupon may be applied to the reservation fee by contacting Robert Zurko direct at 715-526-9769 and using Discount Code AWMZ.

The Poland Vintage Market Buying Trip (also known as the Jewel of Europe Vintage Market Shopping Tour) runs through August 5.  It is hosted by Robert Zurko who produces forty vintage markets in the midwest and understands the needs - and the budgets - of dealers.

The buying trip is getting a boost from the recent spate of publicity afforded Poland’s contemporary art market. Skates Art Market Research recently designated Poland as the next contemporary art market to watch.

While the itinerary is laid out to provide sufficient time in each of seven markets, Mr. Zurko states that flexibility can be built-in should buyers want to remain in a city to take advantage of an auction or other opportunity.

Benefits of shopping Poland for collectibles and furniture to flip in the United States include the buying power of the American dollar. Poland is not on the Euro. Its local currency is the złoty, which converts to about one-third of the USD. As in many emerging countries, the American dollar usually gets the best deal.

A pack-and-ship service is also available, a convenience that minimizes the hassle normally associated with imports from foreign countries. Additionally, shoppers have the benefit of relying on Robert Zurko’s familiarity with restrictions that may apply to antiques of Polish National Origin.

As respite from shopping, the Zurko Poland Vintage Market Buying Trip includes tours of quaint cities, international capitals, much-loved museums, and tourist sites.

Shopping excursions take place in the morning, leaving evenings free for travelers to enjoy fine restaurants, theater and local attractions.

Tour group amenities include daily Continental breakfast, local transportation including deluxe motor coach, train and boat. Zurko Productions provides ground accommodations and arrangements. The tour group is limited to twenty. Cost of the trip is $1898, double occupancy.  Deadline for reserving space in the Poland Vintage Market Buying Trip is May 1. Space can be held with a $400 deposit when the $100 savings coupon is applied.
