Flea Market

POSTED January 26, 2009 BY Aaron Harowitz

The Vancouver Flea Market is awesome. In this highly organized chaos you can find everything imaginable. You need a Samuri sword, a t-shirt with a wolf, a blender, some tools, old video games, books, records? Yup, the flea market has got you covered. Need a nail file, new jacket, some random electrical wires, a toothbrush, old photographs, candles, Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure on VHS, a home-made picture frame? No problem, it can all be found here.

With a little digging and an hour or two on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, there is always a treasure or two to be found here.

  • Andrew

    and some fake BAPE clothing…

    I did like looking around though

  • http://www.mumblemagazine.com Bob K

    Dope! Does it still cost 60 cents to get in?

  • http://colourprism.com aaron harowitz

    nope, they have upped the price to 75 cents. still a hellava deal.

  • jt

    There is Indian guy there who has a table full of jewelry tools and other very cool small tools. He’s been there for years super nice guy.

  • Jef Choy

    i got a menudo doll here….

  • http://www.ishouldbenapping.com Tanya

    Not sure if she’s still there but I sure loved the woman with all of the jewelry – she had whole sections under glass that would be 10 different kinds of spider pins, flowers, or whatever. I wanted them all.

    nice post! i want a menudo doll

    i got a sweet mid-century modern radio there

    it had a little bee (possibly from the 50′s or 60′s) behind the glass, in front of the radio station listing though. he gave me a discount.

  • http://www.mumblemagazine.com Bob K

    75 cents! NOTHING costs 75 cents anymore. They should make t-shirts to sell at the flea market that say BEST 75 CENTS I EVER SPENT.

  • miss mega

    sounds like a winner to a VIA shirt.
