Flea markets!

The past couple of weeks I’ve enjoyed going to the flea markets with my uncle. It’s not baseball games but it’s one of the oldest forms of commerce.

It’s eBay and Amazon before the digital age. There is no CashApp, Venmo, etc. Cold hard cash is king, you can trade and make deals. It’s also like a yard sale on steroids. There are dealers that will go to Sam’s and Costco and buy up a lot of new merchandise and sell it at flea markets.

You can market goods from your small business, collectibles, baked goods, animals, food, tools. It’s an older community but one that believes in the simpler times.

Get up early during this age of spring cleaning and reconnect with some shopping from your past. You could simply have a yard sale/garage sale and relive some of this magic.
