Hacklab Second-hand Shop a.k.a Bonk

Bonkki is slang word which translates to “An item that is thrown away as unwanted or non-functional, but somebody other sees value in it.” Word originates from radio amateur jargon and from Alvar Gullichens art

Located in the Lab premises, there is Hacklab shop trolley where members can buy second hand stuff. Stuff is separated on the three trolley shelves: 1-5 euros, >5 euros, and >10 euros. Payment can be made to the cash box found in the Lab kitchen.

The funds will be used for the benefit of the community.
