We're flying through the huge Louisvile Flea Market, and we've got the bargain fare! This vast convention center tucks junk dealers, antique resellers and people unloading storage units between booths of more pedestrian fare, and we're here to pick thriftstore priced vintage goods we can take west to our next antique show.
The promoter told us to shop up front where more antique dealers are set up...so we immediately go to the back instead! This is where things can be giveaway priced...we find Eastern Airlines first class stemware for 25 cents each, pick a fun velvet painting, 1930s shaker sets, antique shaving mugs and vintage postcards (total spend $17, retail value $75), and score authentic 1950s Seminole dolls for $5/each! These prices make thrift stores look expensive.
Then we head up front, where the regular antique and vintage resellers are hidden among the soap, food and new import junk dealers! We seek them out for better bargains on better merchandise, and are rewarded with everything from a neon bar sign (at half of retail price) to a handsome pair of antique cast iron bookends. We get to see a lot of fun things along the way (vintage comics, a good pottery dealer and a generalist who sells us a cool 1950s battery operated car), and talk to a man with 40 years experience selling old model kits and the like.
Our cart is full by the end, we won't be able to check this in our baggage so it's a good thing we have the car to take it all home! Thrift store prices at a big flea market make this a venue we'll return to in the future.
