quote:Flea markets in general are not what they used to be
Same can be said about the outdoor antique shows in my range too. Well known shows like Brimfield, MA and Boukeville, NY are much smaller than they used to be. Same goes for the less famous shows in Round Lake NY, Syracuse NY, and more are also much smaller.
That written, I think they bottomed out a couple of years ago, and are starting to rebound. The number of vendors and customers appears to be up from the lowest point (but not back to where it was).
