It is what it is! We went in late March so not as full as vendors, I'd say going before noon is the best move too. Lots of different booths but mainly clothes, tools, and some media stands. read more

What can go wrong with a flea market, good place to buy from just be careful to not buy stuff from people who scam

Jamestown Flea Market brings back a lot of good times from the 90's and early 00's. As a young kid, that was the place to be on Saturday mornings with my grandparents. At that time, the flea market felt like a magical wonderland with so many unique items and shops. I returned this past weekend with the same expectations but it's no longer like that. There are less vendors now and most shops are pushed towards the back side closer to the parking lot. I was happy that I took a walk down memory lane. It brought back good times. Overall, I'm happy that the flea market it still there. I would suggest you to stop by if you are ever in this neck of the wood. read more

This is the biggest flea market in the area, and depending on the time of year and time of day you go, you can snag some really amazing deals! Some of the vendors are outside, and others are inside. Allow yourself at least a few hours to graze over everything if you've never been. I think my #1 favorite perk of this flea market is the extremely unhealthy/greasy carnival style food. In particular, the $1 churros! Definitely try those out. The flea market is open on the weekends, and the crowd typically starts dying down around lunch time, so get there early before the vendors start leaving! read more

I arrived plenty early to get a decent spot ended up being second in line so I thought. Then they started hollering reserved spots only so literally everyone passed me now keep in mind I had stood in the cold for 20 minutes waiting my turn. So finally after those people start to thin out I go get back in line and get to the counter and ask for 2 spots she says no cash only cards. I'm like okay and still they start asking if anybody is reserved with me standing at the counter so they tell me I have to go to the back of the line again instead of serving the customers in order. Very rude Service. Oh and wow talk about Inflation just one table on top of the next one is 10 dollars no room whatsoever. So beware if you don't have reserved good luck getting waited on. read more

I bought Funko pops at Jamestown. It smelt like cigarettes. Come to find out it was a $5 pop. I paid 20. They ripped me off and then would not exchange. Beware of Funko pops sold on row a Jamestown. They are smoke damaged. And they smoke in the store as a vape shop. read more

We really wanted to love this place however it seems like everything just went wrong with this market. There are many flea markets available within an hours drive and we went to this one a couple times out of curiosity and for the adventure of shopping and selling in a new place. We were horribly disappointed. First, our family arrived and the kids get out and get their allowances together ready to shop while the grown folks get ready to have a yard sale. Our two cars are parked near the office and we go in to ask about a spot. We were previously told that spaces were $6 each but just very recently they supposedly raised it to $10 each (CREDIT CARD ONLY) and it's tables only and if you put too much behind a table or under it you will be harassed by the office lady. We were told in the office to set up in a spot they assign to you, but the spot was already in use when we got there. We go back to ask about it and the woman isn't in the office and instead a younger man is coming out from behind some wooden doors next to the office and he tells us to set up in the next free spot over. The only available spots were in front of a sinkhole on "p row" in the concrete area or a grassy spot further towards the road on the same row. Upon pulling into the spot, we hit a piece of metal sticking about 6-8 inches out of the ground, some type of rebar or something deeply implanted. Our car had gotten scraped and broke a piece of plastic undercarriage trying to back up off it. Still, we stayed and sold and shopped and had a nice time until a man with white hair and a white goatee stole something and we tried reporting it to the office. Then they said that we weren't in an assigned spot and made accusations against us for lying as the older office lady said there aren't any men in the office who would tell us to switch spots. We felt mistreated by the office lady so we left. We came back a couple other times to shop and witnessed an older Hispanic woman meekly taking a verbal lashing publicly by that same older office lady, and a fruit and produce vendor being publicly shamed when paying for his table for reserving only one table instead of the two they try to force on everyone. When I was shopping the aisles I saw the same woman patrolling the vendors and harassing them over having items next to their vehicles and selling off their own tables behind paid tables, blaming fire codes. I also witnessed this same woman scolding a young boy, saying that the trash cans in the aisle aren't for vendors or their families. The boy was maybe 8-10ish and it seemed unnecessary to tell him not to use the trash can when he was only putting some small food stuff in it. I know I wouldn't be okay with my own child being treated in such a way, but it wasn't my place to say anything then... I would say poor property maintenance, poor ownership and management, suffering the occasional theft without recourse and lack of people willing to deal with it all makes it a choice of last resort when it comes to flea marketing. Vendors are becoming increasingly sparse and there are very few normal yard sale sellers anymore so we will be shopping around elsewhere and definitely not having another yard sale there ever again....or at least not while it's being run into the ground by the unkind office lady and neglectful ownership. read more
