You can get some REALLY good deals at flea markets if you look around.

I love going to flea markets. We have one huge outdoor one here that's only open on weekends and several smaller indoor ones. I love the outdoor ones because you see the weirdest stuff and they have the best food

I wouldn't say I go to them all the time, but yes I do like flea markets, thrift stores, and yard sales. I always go to the dollar section to see what I can score real cheap. I like crafting, so I love finding odds and ends with my crafts. I have also sold at flea markets, and I have never done as well as when I have a yard sale, and even then its kind of tough. (I realize that it was probably because my items were not all that interesting). In any event, yes I do go to flea markets, and since you have mentioned it I think I might stop by this weekend to see what I can find. I think people who avoid them just because its used stuff are missing out. Its not just about finding hidden gems (it does happen) but its also about finding items you need and want at a fraction of the price. And if it doesn't work out, you are not out much, which is harder to say if you buy something from a regular store. If you do purchase something that you find out later you don't want, you can always sell it back in your own yard sale or flea market table, or donate it to charity. Someone will find a use for it. :cat:

I think I've only been to a flea market once in my life. It was back when I was around 13 I think, so it's been a long time.

I havent' been to a flea market in years.  There isn't one close by to where I live at now.  Growing up that was something that my family did every Saturday morning.  I don't think that any of my kids have ever been to one!

flea markets are awesome. As long as you walk right past the junk.

I still go to flea markets. It's fun to look around and browse them from time to time.
