Flea Markets

[PyroChamber]

Does anyone here, besides me, do a lot of their shopping at flea markets?

 

[Strange]

Like what kind of shopping? Clothes, grocery, furniture?

 

[PyroChamber]

Hell, anything. Flea markets have just about everything, some have a lot of good comic stuff.

 

[Spiderpig]

Nope

 

[Leto Atrides]

I go to 'em to get comics, and random stuff like videos.

I actually got an Iron Man comic worth 15 or 20 bucks for $.25.

I haven't been to one in awhile. It's something I know will not end well. I have to look at everything and that is time consuming and wears me out. Plus, I maybe the only women alive that hates to shop.

 

[Shuley]

So stop looking at everything, I can breeze through a store or flea market in an hour. Just have to look around fast.

You miss a lot of good stuff breezing through so quickly. Plus it's my busy body side that doesn't want to miss a thing.

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

i havent been to a flea market in so long, i miss those days.

 

[Steve Vai]

Number 1 does

 

[Strange]

Where did the term Flea Market come from?

 

[Steve Vai]

Fleas came up with the idea until pesky humans stole it

Not true. My wife loathes shopping. Unless it involves shoes, and then all bets are off.

The Wife and I just got home from a flea market. Picked up a lot of stuff.

I'm right there with ya T. I despise shopping at big chain stores...



But when it comes to flea markets, I'm all over them I've gotten tons of great stuff from flea markets and yard sales.

 

[FrankCastle6]

yea i love flea markets...if nothing else they're just kind of fun

 

[Batty for Bats!]

No. I do not buy other people's ****! Flea Markets (atleast around my parts) are dingy, dirty, smelly, P.O.S's. Same goes for "garage sales" "yard sales" and "Goodwill" "Salvation Army". To me, that's like digging through a ****ing dumpster. No thank you. What some-what nice things I have were all brand new at one point whenever I purchased them.

Have you never watched Antique Roadshow?

 

[Batty for Bats!]

Have you never watched Antique Roadshow?

Sadly yes whenever I was at my mom's growing up and nothing else was on. Currently: I do not.

 

[PyroChamber]

I don't know what it is, but some of the flea markets in Illinois have some of the hottest girls behind the counters there.

 

[PLAS]

well, you tend to find some interesting stuff in flea markets
rare, out of print vinyl albums
old, vinatage or intereting instruments
if you're in a band, it's an endless source for original stage clothes
voodoo dolls

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

I don't want used voodoo dolls.

 

[redmarvel]

I used to go to the "Merchant's Market" at Warden and Eglinton... but I don't think you can consider that a real flea market.

About once or twice a year I hit the "Farmer's Market" in Stoville...but again, I'm not sure that can be classified as a proper flea market.

I don't think they have proper flea markets around here much anymore. A lot of vendors lease space on a regular basis in the two I mentioned above.

 

[Strange]

Flea market = Swop and shop

At least that is what they are called in the mid-west. When I lived in the south they were called flea markets.

 

[sinewave]

flea markets are fun but i always feel like i need a shower after going to them.
