It's a bit of a cross between a flea market and a Chinatown. The prices will get lower and some vendors will wheel and deal if you walk away. I bought a carved coconut tiki mug that started out at $25--my hesitation brought the price down to $15. Dog bandanas went from $15 each this $10 each. You get the picture. If it's fun to look around and bargain, but be aware that we saw similar items at the ABC convenience stores (on every corner--like a circle k but much nicer) for, in some cases, a lower price. Still, is kind of fun to go

There are garage sales and a mix of local artisans selling various things. The food options are plenty for everyone in your group. The garage sales are a hit, so many cool items just to browse for a bargain. Most clothing pieces are $1-$5, I was able to get two pairs of kids Vans size 13 for $4.00 total. They are in amazing shape! He will put a hole in them in a month so it's so nice to find kids shoes for cheap! Recycle and reuse, especially around the Hawaiian red dirt. Dog friendly and you can find parking around the neighborhood or take the trolley. Here is the link to this year's event information: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/kailuaswapmeet/915772? https://kailuaswapmeet.com/ Hopefully they have this event more often, be respectful of the area as it's a residential elementary school.

A nice market for local craftsmen and smaller vendors to sell their products…read more The market area was on the mall level. The size of the market was not too large, and it's located near Target, Face Shop and the nearby shops along the way. The market brings a lot of foot traffic (local and visitors ) to the mall level shops near Target. The Vendors I spoke with were courteous and answered my questions about their products. Interestingly enough, I met one vendor who specifically did not want to be reviewed on Yelp. Her business was not yet on Yelp. She explained to me that she is a very small business and she did not want her business featured in a review or on Yelp. I honored the request and I hope did not post a review for her business. Vendors had all different price ranges. There were craft items, jewelry, caramels, homemade knitted items and so much more. Great for holiday gifts this year.

Not only is this event is conveniently held in Ala Moana Center fronting Target lower level it was over the weekends (Saturday and Sundays) from 10am to 4pm making it possible for many to attend...myself included. Shopaholics heaven with the various items prices to please I just love it. Follow them on Instagram @honolulumakersmarket to see what are the future dates and vendors participating as they do varry at times, not very large though they do take the entire grounds on the lower level making it a great covered area to shop. I've found so many items from stickers to plants and decor. The vibe is vibrant and enthusiastic as we look for that item we never knew we "needed" is something worth the search. Thank you!

My first time at the show! I've always loved vintage, thrifting, flea markets, etc. so I was…read moreexcited to check this out. I heard about it from a sweet Japanese owner of this delicious local plate lunch spot (Pioneer) when I commented on how their vintage decor looked great, and noticed they were selling some of their vintage collectibles. The lady gave me a coupon/flyer to this show. I'm so glad I checked it out, it was so much more crowded than I expected. Over 90+ vendors, so much to look at and treasure-hunt through. Also a great place to discover good vintage sources, since the vendors can only bring a portion of their goods to the show! Price ranged from $1-$2000+ depending on what you're looking for. Bring cash!

I would also pay $5, if parking was available at the Castle School's theater lot. Nevertheless, lots of Tesla/electric car parking stations, so for those who have electric vehicles, more power to you (no pun intended). Great options of food and drink vendors throughout the grounds, with an added component of Pokémon memorabilia. Different vibe from the Farmers Market over at Windward Mall. Live music sets the mood, along with a few areas to sit and eat, towards the golf course side of the grounds.

The…read morefood and other vendors are a great mix of offerings, and although it impacts the parking for the driving range and golfers, it's just one night a week on Tuesday, so not too bad. I've been seeing all the food vendors but never had tried them until tonight. After hitting balls at the range, I was headed out and the aroma of all the food got to me, so I decided to get something to take home. I selected Keeks Eatz, and ordered the Karaage Chicken plate. The food is made to order, so it did take quite a while (over 15 minutes) to get my plate, but it was worth the wait. The chicken was still crisp when I got home and the portion was large. I could barely eat half the plate, so saved the rest for tomorrow. It's served with either tossed greens or a scoop of Mac salad, and comes with 2 dipping sauces; garlic aioli and spicy mayo. The market has a "core" of regular food and gift product vendors, with some others rotating in and out. They encompass the roundabout driveway fronting Jolene's entrance, and also use the event space inside, as well. It's a nice event that offers a great mix for everyone, with people around the neighborhood walking down the street to attend. I hope they continue for years to come.

If you're serious about finding an aloha shirt you think you'll wear when you get back home, you…read moremight be looking for something that doesn't exist. You can find aloha shirts just about anywhere on Oahu, whether at expensive boutiques in Waikiki or in the nearest ABC store. However, the visual appeal of the shirt depends completely the eye of the beholder. With that in mind, there probably isn't any other store on the island that offers a broader selection. It's pretty overwhelming. The drawback is that the massive inventory is packed in a retail space so constrained that it can be a challenge to navigate. It took me a while to realize the shirts on the central racks are the priciest, some costing hundreds and (gasp) even thousands of dollars. There are used shirts along the wall that sell as low as $9. I wasn't particularly clear on the difference in quality, but I'll give you one guess which racks I was rifling through.

The clerk explained that there were a couple racks of new shirts and the rest are vintage. Many of the shirts were produced in Hawaii. In addition to shirts, they carry an assorted collection of Hawaiian themed vintage souvenirs, antiques and knick knacks. Some of the items are pretty dusty, and had me thinking that they hadn't been moved in a long time. The prices are pretty hefty (except the shirts were reasonable). There were a number of customers scooping up shirts. I was a little claustrophobic to be honest in the tight quarters. There is no dedicated parking. Street parking is available if you're lucky.

I decided to test my luck one day and came in to Plato's to sell some clothes. I was pretty…read moreoptimistic and hoped for the best turnout despite hearing from people that they don't really give you anything money wise and turn you away even if you have good brand clothes overall. But i chose to see for myself which i did , the process was pretty straightforward and quick and easy , i filled out the form and the girl said she'd call me when they finished looking through my items. And said they'd be done in 10-15 minutes , no problem I decided to walk around and check out their selections of clothes and items they had. I must say they had cute tops and nice styles that I'd wear or that I normally wear on a daily basis , I'll give them that. So selection wise for clothes , they're doing their big one with that. I noticed for heels when i looked at the shoes ( I would never buy second hand shoes from here or anyone for that matter but it was just there ) , it was a pair of Coach brand heels. Super cute and gave off early 2000s vibes , when i picked up the shoe to see the sizing i noticed the bottom of the heel bursted out with stuffing. And I thought to myself that's odd that they took those heels in despite the condition that it was in. But i did notice as well for regular oversized t shirts , they were a bit worn down. And some were priced at ridiculous prices and stained. 10-15 minutes had passed and i went to check on my bag of clothes , apparently they did go through it quickly , but they didn't even bother to let me know or say anything until i went to check on them. So there's that.. mind you i brought in good brands which were in excellent mint condition ( Adidas , Champion ) and a few other brands. They ended up only taking one of my adidas shirts and a workout sweatshirt from the brand Legend, that still had a tag on. The girl working only offered me $5.. $5 for BOTH OF THEM. . I was like flabbergasted and said to myself "Wtf". Everyone knows Adidas is a good brand and pretty on the pricey side.. to even offer $5 for that is absolutely diabolical. Especially when it was in amazing condition , fairly brand new since I didn't even wear it. And Legend is pricey as well and it was brand new with tags , so that totally caught me off guard. I personally think the girls who work here don't give a sh*t, and are there to take up space or just to pass time. They were all chit chatting and doing their own thing. They even denied four people who came in after me and didn't bother looking at their bag of clothes they bought. I probably never will sell here again especially wasting my time for a petty $5 bill. Yes , it's better than $0 , but I brought in good clothes and that's that. Besides , the champion shirt I brought it in and adidas , looked far more better than the adidas and champion shirts they had hanging up on the racks that were tearing apart and hanging by a thread. The girls here don't know what they're doing with their jobs. I think they just take or don't take anything that you offer to sell and throw you a petty dollar and call it a day. I also noticed now making this review others had similar if not the same experiences as me.. lesson learned though. Fair game. I will only return to possibly shop since they had clothes i wear. Selling wise? Hell to the no. Never again.. if you got this far take it from me .. DON'T BOTHER SELLING HERE. YOU ARE BETTER OFF SELLING TO ANOTHER LOCAL CONSIGNMENT STORE IF NOT FACEBOOK MARKETPLACE!!!!!!!!!
