Want to find great deals or unusual items ?
Check out your local auction houses and flea markets.
What is so much fun is that each week you can find something different.
I have furnished several appartments and homes with items from auctions and flea markets.
Yard sales are fun too, but my favorite way to shop is the weekly auctions and flea markets.
You get to know the auctioneers and the sellers at the auctions so after a while, you can tell who brings the best stuff in - LOL
The same with flea markets, you can get to know the vendors and often - if you let them know what you collect or need - they will hunt it down for you if they can.
What kinds of things will you find ?
The answer is always different which is half the fun !
At our local auction and flea market (same building, but on different days and on opposite sides of the building), we can even buy fresh produce and veggie and flower seedlings when in season, little mini cakes, 50/50 raffle tickets and grab bags which the kids (and most adults - LOL) just LOVE to get.
Hubbard Ohio Flea Market and Auctions
This is my local flea market and auction
Public Auction in Hubbard, Ohio
Fridays at 6pm
These auctions feature many estate items like household items; vintage jewelry; furniture; equipment; tools; kitchen items; and many misc. items including box lots which are my favorites because sometimes you find the best treasures in those boxes - LOL
* Also some brand new items too.
* There is fresh produce and mini cakes...
* Get grab bags at $3.00 each or get two for $5.00. Each one is full of goodies AND has a ticket attached to the bags. A few tickets are pulled and if yours matches one of the numbers, you win a prize too. (Sometimes the grab bags are extra special and may cost a little more, but this is rare.)
* AND, don't forget to buy your 50-50 tickets to see if you can win half of what we take in. They are $1.00 a ticket or 6 tickets for $5.00.
