Flea Market Links, Tips and Resources
There is nothing quite like finding a treasure in person. There's nothing quite as satisfying as holding a piece in your hands, carefully examining it and haggling the price in person. Antique, Collectible Shows and Flea Markets vary across the country. All three can have treasures or trash -- sometimes you just have to dig deep to find it.
Shopping at Flea Markets
Flea markets can be fun if you are prepared. Have a flea market "kit" ready to go at all times, just add cash!
