OT selling at flea markets

[bmattioli]

You are lucky you have Flea Markets to attend. Here in CT they are very limited, like one that I know of.

They can be hit or miss as a buyer and seller. Be prepared to haggle but if you do you can get a following if you sell multiple times.. I love them and search every weekend before all this happened. I miss them..

Good luck!

You can get to Brimfield in less than an hour from Hartford. I would guess not happening in July, but September may still go. You would just need to find a good field somewhere near the middle of the action, fairly close to J&J, the first one on the left as you enter from the east on Rt 20.

Obviously affected by the current chaos, but check this out:

Elephants trunk is good.

Woodbury used to be really good, when it was in an ex gravel bank behind an A+W. I went there when I was a kid, and that's where I'd go when I was in CT to visit family. The A+W sold out to a driving range, with a contracted deal to always allow the flea market. Then it became a drive in that changed hands a few times, went out of business, got bought by a developer who booted the flea market and built a pretty strip mall type place.
They moved to the restaurant lawn/extra parking, but it's really small. Maybe 20 dealers on a good day, and not all of them have old stuff of any sort. It probably isn't worth the drive from Hartford.
