English term or phrase: Bend-Down Market
Sé que un Bend-Down Market es un lugar (plaza, calle, etc.) donde los vendedores tienen sus mercaderías en el suelo (a veces sobre una manta) y uno debe inclinarse para examinar lo que va a comprar. En algunas partes a estos vendedores se les llama "manteros", en otras "chiveros".
Necesito saber cómo se le llama a este tipo de mercadillo en el Caribe.
Gracias

Reference: Vendedores ambulantes

Reference information:
Aunque no sé cómo se les dice en el Caribe, acá en México se conocen como vendedores ambulantes, y creo que es un término lo suficientemente general como para que se entienda en todos los países de habla hispana.

Espero te ayude.
