In the early to mid 90's I worked the flea markets. Traveled to various states. A hard way to make a living. I guess the best one I ever set up at was the one in Shipshewana, Indiana. Loved that place.

The one in Birmingham, Alabama was good to. It was an antique and collectible market. Saw alot of beautiful antiques.

The Memphis flea market use to be good but I have heard over the years it has really went downhill.

There are two big ones in Oakhurst and Coarsegold twice a year, Memorial weekend and Labor Day weekend. My parents used to sell depression glass and such at the Oakhurst one, before it got too expensive for the spaces and it turned in to a craft fair. We used to have a lot of fun up there with the selling. Now the Coarsegold one is the better of the two, lots of antiques and such.

I have been to the one in Shipshewana a few times and there is no way you can see the whole place in one day unless you are a running star.

OMG I forgot about Ellis Park, we went there one time.

And at Shipshewana they have these huge auction barns and there will be 8 or 9 auctioneers auctioning at one time. Quite confusing if don't pay attention.

Traders World and Turtle Creek in Ohio, out from Cincinnatti, were 2 awesome markets. Sold alot of stuff and bought alot of stuff. ;D Bought my first piece of Blue Ridge Pottery up there for .25 cents.
