Like to shop at Flea markets?

I know and I wonder how the heck do these people do it??? Then there's me, did you ever read my story about the time I went to a garage sale and I'm in the garage looking through all this stuff I thought was junk when this man comes around the corner of the garage and says, "Lady what the hell are you doing?" Turned out it wasn't a garage sale he was moving. I wanted to die.

Wow good for her, I love flea markets and and visit them often. I think I visit one at least 4 times a month.

She is an extremely luck person. Although I do browse flea markets from time to time I was never able to find a rare antique.

I also like to shop at flea markets and auctions.I have a pair of pictures,one of a girl and one of a boy...It has their names and dates on them...They are from another century,the children are dressed in very old timey cloths from the past..These are nice and i am sure they are worth money,but i have never had them valued....They are framed in very nice framing and ready to hang,these are not photo's these are porteits............

How come I never find any of these treasures?

Hi estherlou! I have heard stories like that before and I do think those people get so lucky. Buying an antigue or old things at a very low price and end up having in your possession that is very valuable. Wow, some people can get lucky indeed! Take care and God bless!

I wish something that would happen for me! lol I will have to start going back to the flea markets.

the only thing that I have seen in flea markets around here is a bunch of junk nothing more than that, but that was mighty lucky of her to find though.

she was lucky then! i did hear some stories about that..how i wish i could also found one!!such a treasure!!

I bet the vendor is kicking his/herself over this since they had no clue about the hidden worth of that picture. They say a picture is worth a thousand words... More like $10,000 worth of words in this case.

oh i love flea markets and yard sales. i just picked up a bunch of cloth for my quilt at ridiculously cheap prices.great quality stuff,too.

I have always loved shopping at flea markets, matter of fact I'm going to be headed to one here in a little bit. I have never been so lucky as to find anything that rare or valuable. I guess the only thing I bought that comes close was a small wood scoop, carved from a solid piece of maple, I paid .25 cents and when I looked it up, it was worth $25.

I keep hoping that will happen to me, but when I buy junk at auctions, it's generally junk.

And I know a woman that bought a pearl necklace and the owner must of thought it was junk, because she got it for $2.00. She then wore it a couple times and people told her it looked like real pearls so she should get it checked. So after about a year she finally took it to get appraised to find they were real and worth $2,000. Well, she was elated. But I said if she doesn't sell them, then they are only worth the $2.oo she paid for them. Just kidding. I wish I was so lucky to find such treasures at garage sales and flea markets. I go to them quite often but I usually only end up buying books. But I do check more closely now to other items just in case I see something that is worth more, but then How would I know. This is a true story as the woman is my mother. She still has the pearls but now she doesn't wear them anymore.

I love to go to flea markets

Yeap it happens. Something a lot more common is you buy a picture and the frame is worth 10X the amount of what the picture is worth. Lucky ones. Zelo

I love shopping at flea markets. You can actually find a lot of treasures in these places not to mention some really cheap items. Yeah, flea markets are often crowded and noisy but they are really great places to shop.

I love flea markets, but a haven't had the chance to go for awhile.Years ago I used to go every weekend and foumd some really great stuff that way.

Flea markets are just like second hand stores the things you find there, you will not find in regular stores now a days. Sometimes you find good deal at them too and you can't beat that. I know that lady that brought the picture had no idea what she purchased. But I bet she is glad that she did.

The woman is a luck dog.
