More about this mission

Flea market tips: go early for the best finds, or late in the day when sellers would rather haggle than pack up. A friendly "Would you take..." is usually welcome. Bring small bills.

Some of the biggest flea markets in the country, like the Rose Bowl Flea Market in Pasadena and Brimfield in Massachusetts, draw thousands of sellers, but small local swap meets are often where the weirdest treasures hide.
