Hi,
Do we say that certain goods are available/sold IN the market or ON the market?
Thanks in advance!
Raf

If you're talking about the market as an abstract economic idea, it should be ON the market.

If you're talking about a supermarket, it would be AT the market or IN the market.

If you're talking about an open-air marketplace in the city or country, you would say AT the market.
