do you go to flea markets

[hicaniplay]

I set up at flea markets for 20 years every week end.  But it has been about 10 years since I set up the last time.  I have sold everything from a to z and then some.  I started out setting up and going to yard sales and buying things cheap.  Then I got a tax number and got irregualr towels and heam them and sold them.  I made as much profit every weekend as I did working at my job during the week.  Then the towel company started sending their irregular towels over seas.  I just about cried.  I have made crafts and set up at craft shows over 20 years ago, but that was to much work and had to quit that.  Now I am retired and am now working as a people greet at Wal-Mart.  Hope everyone has a nice day and God Bless each of you and keep you safe.

This is similar to what my mother used to do, when I was too young to really pay much attention. She'd buy at auction mainly I think, and some wholesale, large lots of like figurines and eagles and knives and stuff and resell them. She also used to do a lot of wood working and painting crafts, filled up quite a large barn/garage/workshop area as I remember. Even had a little store, though that was mainly just to meet people and for something to do while us kids where in school, or I think is what she said.

LOL we went to one just yesterday. It's 30 miles one way. I used to go to it quite frequently when I lived near it but now too far. We picked up a gallon of honey and I got a silver thumb ring.

I like garage/yard sales too!

we don't go as often as i'd like, but i do like
venturing out to a good flea market! i've been to
a few where there's nothing but those wolf
sweatshirts from the 90s and gaudy glass lamps.
but i guess the fun is all in the hunt, and i do like
the hunt.

I do like to go to flea markets whenever I have the chance.  My daughter and I have such fun just gazing at so many interesting items and sometimes believe it or not, we actually buy something.

Anytime my wife and I go on vacation out of state we always find a flea market to go to.

I have only been to a flea market once thus far in my life. It was a long time ago. There were a lot of really neat things there. The only thing I brought home was a cool t-shirt.

Yes, I love browsing flea markets, unless, of course, they have real fleas.
