(5) "Unused property market'' means any event at which persons offer personal property for sale or exchange, and which involves a series of sales sufficient in number, scope and character to constitute a regular course of business; provided, however, that the event occurs at least 6 times in any 12-month period. Unused property markets include any "swap meet, indoor swap meet,'' "flea market'' or other similar event at which transient retailers transact temporary or transient business, however the event is described and whether or not a fee is charged for entrance thereto.
