You Will Find Nothing You Need And Everything You Want At One Of The Waco Flea Markets

By Janet Anderson


One of the exciting things you can do on a weekend is to go and find an event that usually happens every weekend. This event takes place in a field or large parking lot. It has just about anything and everything you might want. At the same time, there may not actually be anything you really need. It is all part of the fun in it. That special place, that special event is one of the Waco flea markets.

You can find many of these fun places to be in Waco, TX. You could ask some of your friends about them. You could look on the community boards that are posted in grocery stores. You might even notice announcements in Church bulletins, especially if many members of the congregation set up a table there.

What you find at any flea market is a group of people renting space to set up tables. In most markets, the tables are included in the cost as is a chair or two. Individuals and or businesses set up their offerings for sale. The list of things you can find, as you walk along, is an inclusive one. These things are important to find for many people.

Some of the items that people are offering are things from their garage. You will find tools that work with just a small amount of rust. Old vehicle owners manuals and things people would ordinarily put out at yard sales. Completing your incomplete socket set may be easy to do depending on who is set up on that day.

Small businesses will be offering some of the same things they have on their store shelves. These companies may bring in self standing shelving units to make it look more like a store. These companies will almost always offer these items at a discount from their normal selling price. Many people, especially as the day goes on, will haggle over the prices and attempt to barter for some items. This simply adds to the fun and unexpected bargains they can discover this way.

There will also be any number of food vendors set up. This means you can get a hamburger with all the trimmings or a hot dog with the same, although different. You will also be able to get a drink, such as soft drinks, juice and a coffee to get you started when you show up early. You can even get a beer if they are licensed properly for it.

The rent is charged as the people come in to set up. The rent is usually fairly small and will offset the costs of renting the land or parking lot. Some flea market owners will charge an entry fee, although that is not as universal. The idea is to come, enjoy yourself, meet up with friends and find things that you can not find elsewhere.

It is always exciting finding some buried treasure in the many boxes people put on their tables. It is fun having a couple of hot dogs and a drink. It is also very educational as the things that you find can help you understand the people you are dealing with. It can also become exhausting as you want to see and do everything.
