We go to one here every Monday. it is one of the largest. We try to go early because of the heat, it gets too hot to be outside by 10 AM. We buy a lot of out produce and many other things there and just walk through a lot of it. But it is way too big to ever get through the whole thing.

I like to go to flea markets but rarely do so. I do go to the local Farmers Market every week thru the season.

I use to go to flea markets with my grand parents all the time when I was little. I have been to one in a long long time.

I use to go to flea markets and I especially like the indoor ones because they had a/c.  Now I don't go as often because it is hard for me to walk.

I used to go every weekend. They have a produce market at the same place and on Friday evening, they sell live chickens, etts, ducks, etc.

I also used to go to yard sales every chance I got. I loved buying other people's "trash/junk." It was fun. I haven't been able to go for a long time. First was one of my jobs in which  I worked 7 days a week and now can't drive. :(   My "chauffeur" doesn't work on weekends. :)

I love going to flea markets,  But the only ones that are near are about 167  and 120 miles away. This little rural town has no idea of what a flea market is.  Used to go all the time,  Found things i wanted, and more important a lot of fresh veggies and fruit. My girlfriend and i would drag things home and our hubbies would just look at us funny and go now what. But we always used the items up in some kind of craft.

I love going to Flea Markets to find hidden treasure.  I am usually looking for older video games for my personal collection or to resell on Ebay or Craigslist.  I've made some great finds from time to time with my greatest find being an extremely rare game that I purchased for less than a dollar and sold online for around 250.

No, but I would like to.   When I retire, many years from now, I am going to do the going to the flea market routine.  I hear they have great deals on produce, & grown locally.   Can't wait :)

I prefer thrift shops to flea markets.Flea makets tend to be to big and hard for me to get around.
 I do love going to farmer's markets. Fresh fruits and veggies are yummy!

No I used to and I would still love to but I am disabled and unable to get around good enough to walk around the flea market or even yard sales for that matter.  Glad you enjoyed it.

I have not been to a flea market in several years.  But I use to set up at flea markets for many years.  I made some good money at times.  But I have gotten so old I can't do that now.

I used to! They have changed through the years though. Where I live, they combine them with "antique malls" and prices get ridiculous for me to consider them flea markets. I wish there were some old school flea markets near me!

We have a huge market near where we live.  I used to be able to go more often but as of late our schedule isn't very yielding. 

Because of that I don't get to go as often as I'd like.  Hopefully we'll be able to find a little daylight to visit the market more often.

Not at all. I think the stuff you can buy at flea markets are fake, knockoffs, or terrible quality.

Post by: sherryinutah on August 04, 2016, 04:26:08 am
I usually don't because I don't like crowds.  I call eBay a "yard sale for introverts". I'd much rather find a deal on eBay.

I used to go with my Mom as a little girl.  Havent been to one in ages though.  They're always so crowded you can barely move and it's so hot all the time when they're open so it's just not worth it.

Yes, I love flea markets, we have one, it is only opened on the weekend. I go early to get parking, it is indoors as well as outdoors, but it gets very crowded as the day goes on so I try and get there around opening time browse/shop and get out before the large crowds come.

I've stopped going to flea markets because I can find comparable deals for electronics, and random assorted products on websites such as amazon and ebay. I do agree that it is a great place to buy produce!

Tucson only has one really well known flea market, but we call it a swap meet. I am making plans here soon to start selling at it. Not sure when that would be, but it should be sometime before Christmas. At least, I hope it does!!

I love flea markets. There is one in the town in which I live that's only been around for a couple of years but it is growing. I haven't been to a flea market since 2009 though. I live in the B&B capitol of Texas, so there are many, many antique shops that you'd find flea market like.  The main one the we East Texans go to is in Canton, TX called Canton Trade Days. If interested you should google it. If you go, spend the rent money on the battery operated scooters. You're legs will thank you. There was an indoor one in Uncertain, TX but not sure if it is still in operation, never been but it's been on my to do list.

I rarely go to the flea market. But I like to go to the farmers market to buy fresh food.
