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.
NYC Flea MarketsYou can find anything at a flea market, from beaded jewelry to antiques. There is usually quite a range of prices, so shop around if you have time. For farm fresh produce, visit one of the city's many Green markets.
