The Best Flea Markets in New York City!

I am an avid antique and vintage furniture collector and reseller. I have decided to provide a list of New York City's Best Flea Markets where you can find almost everything, including the kitchen sink. Last year I had a very unique and intresting client from the U.K.. They more or less gave me the keys to the loft, what they were looking for, and a substantial payment to cover materials and my services. I purchased 90% of the household furnishings from the below listed flea markets at less than a quarter of what they paid me. Upon their return I explained my findings and went to return the balance for the materials, but they were so pleased that they felt it was worth every penny they had initially paid me. Now if I purchased these goods at Vintage and antique stores I wouldn't have been able to get what I got. Whether you are on a hunt for some new digs for your nest, or just like being a flea I strongly suggest the below listed marets. Good luck, and please list any good finds.

EZ FURNITURE ASSEMBLY IS HIRING ALL POSITIONS!! DON'T GET RIPPED OFF FROM COMPANIES LIKE THIS...

I have been employed by Impact Resource Group for & months. The company also goes by the names of National Product Services and We're Ready to Assemble. My Service Coordinator is in Ohio, and my District Manager is in North Carolina. My Service Coordinator I've never seen, and my District Manager I've seen approximately 3 times since I was hired.

When I started, I had bicycle assembly work every day, then there were a couple of days when there was no work available. Then came the Christmas Season and the work load increased dramatically, Now that February is almost over I am getting very little work at all.

Working one day a week at less than minimum wage does not bring in enough to pay bills. I have sent repeated emails to my District Manager to which he either ignores or refuse to respond. I have been told that some of the managers in the serviced stores do not want me in their stores due to alleged improper assembly or taking too much time to do the assemblies. None of the managers at the serviced stores have addressed me directly on the alleged issues. A couple of weeks ago I traveled 150 miles round trip to an assembly job. Rather than reimbursing me for mileage, they actually deducted money from my pay check!

There are other jobs to do such as assemble furniture and grills, but my District Manager seems to think either I can't do it, or refuses to let me do it. This is despite my asking to do something else rather than bicylces. When ever I talk to my Service Coordinator, which is rarely, the response I get when questioning my lack of work is 'stores are not selling very many bicycles at this time.' If you wan't to do something else you have to talk to the District Manager. It does not do any good to call him, because he almost never bothers to answer his phone and youre automatically transfered to his voice mail.

The last time I did actually talk to him, he stated that this may not be the job for me because I cannot turn out 35-40 bikes in a days time. When i was trained, my trainer told me that he can easily do 25 bikes a day. This seems to be acceptable to the District Manager.
When he hired me he never told me that there would be times when there would be no work available.

My advice is, if you see an advertisement From Impact,NPS,NASCO, or We're ready to Assemble that says you will be paid at least $14.00 an hour, don't believe it and do not answer the add. If you do, you will regret it.

NYC 10 MUST SEE BUILDINGS!!

Hello!

I want to start by wishing everyone a very happy St. Patrick's Day! Keep those Irish eyes a smilin'. I know in our wonderful city we get thousands of new residents daily among the millions of tourists that visit, so I have decided to add a short slide show showing the New York City's must see buildings and structures. I am sure there are many more that we can add and we welcome any and all additions as long as they are in good taste. I hope you enjoy this slide show and if you need help getting to anywhere in the city I suggest you use a great program/website called "nyc hopstop" where all you have to do is enter you current address and where you wanna go and in just a few seconds it will give you step by step directions on what train to take to where, transfer here or there if need be, and which way to way once you leave the subway. This site is great and will actually take you to the doorstep of where you want to go in easy, understandable directions. Anyway, enjoy the slide show,
