When the borders opened after November in 1989, the Czechoslovaks rallied en masse to the closest trade. For days, electronics and put down the tinsel, as once wrote the party press. The entrepreneurs understood that not everyone, especially from Prague or Ostrava, wanted to travel hundreds of kilometers to Austria or Germany.

Very soon, therefore, a shop appeared in Prague, at Wenceslas Square, where it was possible to sell goods, nor did the hunter have to go to the working Tuzex. The store was three meters above the House of Copper and from day one there was head to head. For me, there were color TVs, tape recorders, badgers, slingshots, minds, clothes, pouches, washbasins. But it got out of my head. But what I remember is that it was not sold here for crowns, but for Austrian lines (even for German marks).

I’m not entirely sure, the store of this kind then appeared in the then house, which then went to the ground and the city is a new building. But it was not in this house, but somewhere nearby.

Each store did not have a long life, because according to the rules of the National Bank, except Tuzex, it was not allowed to be offered and sold in stores for other than the home currency. Because the creation of new economic rules of the furnace only took off, the shops had to end after some time. But it was slowly appearing elsewhere, where the same was better goods made in Zpad natst u for crowns.

As with the Electronics store in Ve Smekch Street, I want to ask for memories that remember everything and more accurately, to write to me at [email protected] Rdi is again public.
