Flea market in the hall of an Elks Club. Dozens of dealers who mostly had glassware and inconsequential things like candy dishes and figurines, etc. These people paid $150 for table space, and I'll bet they didn't make that for the day. I did see ony one dealer who would probably make more. His stuff looked like America Picker style. The grill from a 1939 Ford pickup, etc.

There was one paper dealer I would have bought from, but his stuff was overpriced.

It's a new market, yes.
