Do you shop at flea markets

I shop at flea markets, recently I found one nice scarf and it was only 1 euro.

We used to. A lot of the things there were new but unique- handmade furniture, the best beef jerky ever, home decorations, clothes- and they had everything, even auto auctions. But alas, they closed about two years ago, and now I don’t know where one is. :frowning:

In my little town we have nine places where they sell old items, quite many, people can find furniture, old military clothing, clothes, watches and many other items. Sometimes it is just fun to walk around and see what people are selling.

I love flea markets and second hand shops. Got a weekly flea market in my area open on Sundays and a charity shop nearby.

Most of my clothing I am wearing now have been bought at flea markets or places where they sell old good, my camouflage German army jacket, my camouflage pants, my scarf and so on, then I am wearing the same sweater that I wore when I was three weeks in Leningrad in March 1989 (over 30 years ago). I like these old clothes.

What is a flea market?

If it is like second hand clothes, I don’t like that usually

I always enjoy the hand crafted items at flea markets. Also farmers markets in my area

It is a place where people sell their goods such as leather jackets to other people. If I remember right, you are in London. Back in 1987 I was in London one week and I bought a leather jacket at one London’s outdoor flea market. This jacket was nice to wear and I wore it over 10 years and after it became useless I bought a new leather jacket in Atlanta, currently I have a few leather jackets that I have bought at flea markets. It really makes sense to buy leather jackets and other clothing at flea market because prices are usually low.
