For treasure hunting definitely! :)
Who knows what kind of treasures you may find in garage sales/ flea markets? People sell what they don’t want anymore. Sometimes they don’t realize the value of an item.

Yeah, sometimes I like them. If you look hard and are careful and haggle, you can get a great deal on some good items. Like, really, the most amazing sale items you'll ever buy will come from these places. $1200 perfectly fine grills, sofas, bicycles, vacuums, etc. The trick is, you have to browse and analyze and not be at all impulsive. That's nearly impossible! lol But I still manage it. I give every person who runs those sales/tables tons of trouble.

I just love them You just never know what you may find There have been occasions where someone bought something for a dollar or two that turned out to be quite valuable I like to search for antique furniture especially furniture made around the turn of the twentieth century I like to search for old china and whatnots also There is nothing as pleasant as spending a Saturday or Sunday driving around to the different sales

A flea marketplace isn't comparable to a storage or backyard sale. people who've storage or backyard sales are removing used stuff. At a flea marketplace you will discover used stuff, yet there additionally are distributors there who sell new products. We had one this previous weekend in my city and there have been new and used products. it extremely is the version. wish it replied your question.

My wife & like really like them. We find all kinds of unique things & get stuff pretty cheap. Then we usually have our own and sell most of the stuff we got a year or two before and go through the same vicious cycle again. Auction houses are good for that too.

yes, who doesnt? there is more satisfaction in getting something you want (but may not really need) al bargain prices. Its also exciting to stumble onto something at a flea market, like you have found your own little "buried treasure." its not the same when you pay retail at your neighborhood mall...much less fulfilling, almost like you didnt have to work as hard for it

It's the treasure hunting thing. I love the thought of discovering something for nothing that I spot as being obscure or valuable. It's more than the value - it's the satisfaction of being able to intuit that something is extraordinary or just to recognize exceptional craftsmanship or artistry.

I absolutely love them.I guess it goes w/ that saying one man's junk is another man's treasure!?I find so much stuff at them that I could use,or know that someone else can use.Nothing like a good deal.Plus it's a great way to spend Saturday and Sunday mornings!!

You find bargains on something you really want or need or come across an item you've never seen before or something you don't see in the stores, because they don't make it anymore!
Though, I don't buy 'pre-owned' clothing. (Well, maybe if I'm looking to use it as a costume).
Love thrift stores too!

I like them because the stuff is cheap, and you can even sell it on ebay and make some nice extra cash. You'll never know what you'll find.
