2/20/2011 First to Review

I love flea markets for the same reason I love thrift and second hand stores...the magical feeling that you never know what kind of unexpected treasures you might discover. Things you may not have even known you were looking for until you found…More »

Though it may look small and unremarkable from the outside, this is actually quite a decent store, with more to offer than I realized at first. I've found some pretty good deals here in the past, and don't normally leave empty-handed.

The prices are…More »

11/28/2010 First to Review

Dealing mostly in furniture and appliances, this store offers a plethora of "used but not abused" (as it's slogan states) items for the home. They also sell some new (possibly discontinued?) stock. I have seen couches, coffee tables, dining sets,…More »

11/20/2010 First to Review

The Harbourview Weekend Market is unique in that it is not simply a flea market, craft sale, or farmer's market, but has elements of all these, and more. There are people selling previously used items they no longer want or need, craft merchants,…More »

2/5/2011

I've always been a bit of a bookworm and, not surprisingly, I'm a huge fan of used bookstores. Not only because of the great deals (aka a cheap way to feed my addiction), but also because there is just something kind of magical about them. Maybe…More »
