Picturesque Colmar in France, considered the most beautiful city in Europe, looks like it came straight out of a fairy tale.

As if being the wine capital was not enough, Colmar, with its pretty squares, fountains and canals, is also called the "little Venice" (la Petite Venise).

With that, here are six private sale sites for travel (in alphabetical order) worth checking out. 1. Jetsetter sales last from five to seven days, or until sold out. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Your Picks.
