bussey's flea market

my daughters and I went here in early February and had a blast. We filled up our car with lots of great buys! The morning started out a little windy and drizzly but there were still lots of vendors opened up and everyone we encountered were happy to be there and friendly! We bought some furniture, a mirror, a chandelier, and several other odds and ends! We will definitely be back! It only cost a dollar to park.

First time going, over heard allot of negative comments from vendors about stall prices and lack of vendors. I don't expect flea markets to be really nothing more than glamorized yard sales but this one was more like people trying to get one over on the consumer. Lots of over priced junk and allot of items, like the "collectible action figures" could be ordered online for a third of the cost of what some of these people were selling them at. Some decent deals on tools, rugs, some stalls selling hand made items. Other than that, your typical over priced yard sale.

This flea market advertises that it has 500 vendors. It opens Saturday & Sundays only starting at 7:00am. I went in around 8:25am and more than half of the vendors were not open. As all flea markets they have junk and they have new stuff. Some days you find a lot of stuff; other days none. I did not find a lot but my friend found some treasures. I did compare the prices as we also went to antique stores afterwards. A working red & white rotary phone from the 50's sold for $35 at the flea market. The antique store had the same phone (and could not tell us if it worked or not) but was selling the phone for $89. A crystal oval dish of the same pattern was selling for $3 at the flea market and for $24.95 at the antique store. So you may find your treasures for a great price. They have food trucks all around the flea market and by the way they charge $1 for parking. Enjoy!
