Occasionally, in the past. Sell and buy. Don't really have the money anymore though, and most of the flea markets worth going to are too far away. Other family members do though, my brothers go to a specific one just about every year rain or shine.

I love Flea Markets. There is always something going on and I meet the most interesting people. You don't need to spend money to have a good time. :)

I use to go to the flea market/second hand stores/etc with my mom when I was little, but we stopped going because we moved. Where i grew up there was a flea market at the fair grounds every friday and a bunch of people would come and sell food and misc stuff, it was a fun experience. :)

Love to go to flea markets and always locate one in whatever area I am living/visiting.  We traveled for several years in our 5th wheel/toyhauler so had lots of opportunity to visit new areas and scout out new opportunities.  Flea markets has always been high on our list of great things to do!

  Twelve years ago I had a 2-booth spot in a local flea market that was so much fun and I did meet alot of interesting people.  Unfortunately the store was in need of some major repair (the basement was in bad shape) and the owner decided to close the business rather than pay for the repairs.  Sadly, there are no more flea markets close-by.  The nearest is a 45-minute drive away and hasn't been worth the trip the last few times I went.

I love flea markets. You never know what you're going to find. A lot of it can be junk but it's fun to look through and see what you find. I haven't been to one in a long time, I'm overdue

I go to flea markets often and there are some I go to that are pretty sizable. I have not, however, been buying as much as I use as I see the same things over and over and repeated by many booth areas.

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.
