2/12/2011 2:27:52 PM

I am always disappointed at the lack of Red Hot Chili Peppers stuff at Flea markets

2/12/2011 2:29:13 PM

im intrigued by the idea of going ... haven't been to one since the mid-90s probably

2/12/2011 2:30:49 PM

where are the closest real* flea markets around here...and my real, i mean ones without all the antiques and new shit

* criteria for real = less antique roadshow, more sanford and son

2/12/2011 2:32:18 PM

i thought the fairgrounds area had a flea market

2/12/2011 2:33:05 PM

there's a indoor flea market on Capital Blvd that may be more your speed...

2/12/2011 3:02:54 PM

my type of flea market means there's a 30% chance i can buy an NES

2/12/2011 3:05:22 PM

^^ that place is sketch. i love it.

^ i got my NES from the fairgrounds flea market. $20 for NES, 2 controllers, duck hunt gun, and mario1/duck hunt game.

one of my favorite purchases from there was a polaroid camera i got in the box for $0.25. we use that shit all the time.

there should also be a popcorn stand, no fewer than 13 mexicans and if there's no traffic light in plain view within 10 seconds of walking in the door, i just leave

2/12/2011 3:08:46 PM

fairgrounds

2/12/2011 3:09:35 PM

fairgrounds is easily one of the best in the area... but it's a little late in the day to see it in full force

try again tomorrow around 10:30am-1pm

2/12/2011 3:12:55 PM

Holla GoldenGirl let's go flea marketing!

2/12/2011 3:14:29 PM

No one has made a Montgomery Flea Market reference yet?

Lame, guys.

2/12/2011 3:17:50 PM

too old.

2/12/2011 3:18:49 PM

Flea market people have to pay rent for space so they have to keep that in mind when haggling prices.


That's why this jew sticks to yard sales.

Brass knuckles for 15 at the one on capital

2/12/2011 6:28:44 PM

the last time I went to a flea market was back in the 90s at the one here in newport. I should probably hit it up again sometime this summer.

2/12/2011 6:30:36 PM

there was a giant wooden turtle i wanted to buy and put in the spot where my dad parks his car, but they wanted 400 for it, who carries that much cash at the flea market

2/12/2011 6:38:16 PM

People that want to buy a giant wooden turtle. Duh!

2/12/2011 6:49:11 PM

good to know...we were unimpressed with the selection of cheap weaponry at the fairgrounds.

I, too, was expecting to see something related to this. On a semi related note, I was playing Pictionary last night and "Flea Market" was the thing to draw, so I drew the dude with the bug eyes. My team got it.
