I absolutely love going to the flea market! A lot of times I find interesting things that I wouldn't be able to imagine finding anywhere else. Another man's trash is another man's treasure. It is easy to find great deals and you can even try to negotiate with the vendors. I've bought plenty of things from there before.

We are in the car alot of times when we see one, so we always have to stop and look.  It's interesting what you can find.

yes i do not as much as i used to but i do go to find alot of good buys i bought a painting a couple months ago and had ir appraised and it is worth 10000 i paid 5 dollars for it

Wow- that is incredible. My husband and I love flea markets and yard sale. We never found anything of the value that you did, but he did find a signed original print that was valued at several hundred dollars- he paid $1 for it.

I love flea markets are garage sales and this is the time of the year for them. I hope in the coming weeks i can get out to a few. Its fun just to walk around even if you don't buy anything, but of course I would like to buy something :)

I used to go to the swapmeet at the old drive in  :BangHead:near my house but it was torn down and turned into a home depot. I tried starting a swap meet import business but found people wanted to purchase my items at below wholesale pricing

I love flea markets!! And yard sales and thrift shops!  I remember when I was a kid getting up at the break of dawn and going with my grandparents to set up at the flea market near out house. It was so much fun!!!
