A sales stall is basically any stall that sells goods doing the fair.
Stalls pay 10% commission on sales over 4,000DKK. That is, if you sell for 5,000 kroner, the math looks like this.
5.000 – 4.000 = 1.000
1.000 * 0,1 = 100
This means you must pay 100DKK at the office in the volunteer camp before you leave KHM.

A group can be one or more people who attend KHM for the atmosphere or to participate in shows/fights.
As a rule, you are not allowed to sell here.

A craft stall with active communication is a stall that performs a craft doing KHM. Where you tell and show off your craft.
A craft stall is allowed to sell goods under the KHM. Craft stalls, unlike stallholders, do not pay commission on sales.
