    Swap-O-Rama? More like Thrift-O-Rama!! Just $2 gets you all day access. You'll find pretty much…read moreeverything: fresh produce, clothing & replica jerseys, gardening supplies, lots of pottery and everything in between. Did I mention Mexican staples like micheladas, churros and Horchata!? And yes that means tacos and similar eats are nearby. In fact, if you decide to walk-in hungry, makes sure to get a hand stamp (or maybe 2) to allow re-entry. You can find all the Mexican eats your stomach may desire inside, however the best eats are actually around the perimeter before you enter. More specifically nearby 43rd & Wood Street. Park on 43rd and take the hike to S-O-R. Trust me, you have to try the food along the way. And this way, after you've spent the day at the place you can even find lunch on your walk back to your car. From my experience, stalls start to close down around 1pm, target arriving early, perhaps between 10am and 1pm. Pro Tip: Bring a minimum of $50 in cash so you are prepared to shop & negotiate. Smaller bills recommended.

    There's not really much to say but it's a flea market and u never know what you'll find. U can…read morefind just about everything like furniture, records, food, toiletries, home improvement items....it is worth the visit. They have several Swap-O-Rama locations. I was near this 1 and it was my 1st time in over a year. I enjoyed just walking up and down the rows of vendors. Be careful u will be tempted to buy a lot. Though I did not find what I was looking for I found a few items I liked. Only $1 entrance fee. Make sure u get stamped if u need to take items to your car or need to step away. I brought a large reusable bag with me. U can also bring a cart. Happy shopping!!

    This is quite a large antique and vintage flea market within Chicago, much of it being inside the…read morePlumbers Union Hall on several floors as well as the back lot outdoors. Pros were: - A lot of vendors! - A variety of items - lots of food trucks so you won't be hungry - Legitemately most of the items for sale were antiques and vintage along with some artisans and food merchants (coffee cakes, toffee etc). But not booths of 3D printed stuff. Cons were: - it seemed like whenever we were interested in inquiring about something, the vendor was not at their booth... - Prices were pretty high (especially in comparison to The Pec Thing which I just went to the previous weekend), and not every vendor was willing to dicker (I have never been to a flea market where this is the case unless an item is marked "Firm") - We arrived at opening and some of the vendors weren't set up yet. It had also rained the night before so a lot of the outside people had put tarps over their merch but items still got wet. Caveat emptor. Overall, it was worth checking out but we only bought one small item. Maybe next time!

    This market advertises that they have about 200 dealers, and that it's a "destination". Hmmmm…read more.. On the plus side, if you're into vintage clothing (everything from band tshirts to vintage designer) you will love it. Guessing 50%+ of the dealers were fashion related. There were a few MCM places but honestly not much beyond that. I didn't expect to be accosted by window and gutter salesmen but here we are. The building is beautiful, there were a good number of food trucks and places to grab refreshments, and it was well organized. No WAY we're there anything close to 200 dealers - maybe half that? (If we don't count the gutter dudes) Not for me, but if you love vintage fashion, it's probably your jam.

The value was great, I found vintage records, action figures, and lots of Mexican candy, food, home decor, and clothing. They have tons of Mexican snacks to try. They also have fruit, vegetables, cheese, sour creams, chorizo, dry Mexican peppers and the list goes on. I actually found a nice lemon tree plant to take home. Great value, and when you visit bring cash!

    I was a bit wary because the Yelp rating on this place has been low. Well, seeing is believing,…read moreand it would be the best if I could witness the "Buyers Flea Market" with my own eyes. You know what? My experience was good. The venue was clean, well-lit, and properly-signed. They even had people and security guards who directed traffic. They led us to their car park and charged hubby and I one (1) George Washington. Parking fee was fairly reasonable in my opinion, but how about the sellers' booths? There was a wide range of categories inside the flea market: apparel, footwear, perfume, jewelry, sports gears, car audio equipment, toys, dry and wet spices, Mexican snacks, and etc. Some dudes and dudettes got their hair done and eyebrows threaded. There was even a booth that had listing of houses for sale, but mostly were in the hood though. Food court here had a few selections. I saw "La Cocina de Alicia" there and served menudo and pozole! This restaurant also has a location on Armitage. The outdoor tooth that hubby purchased "elote en vaso" from was sanitary. The young lady who was in charge of food had plastic gloves and hairnet on. As we handed her the cash to her, she pulled out a cup so we could place the cash inside the cup. She then passed the cup to an older lady (assuming she was her mom or relative) and the older lady looked for change to give back to us. Oh, not to mention that the elote en vaso was definitely a brimming cup! I really was wondering why the Yelp reviews were subpar. Some items could be risky if purchased at a flea market, such as cellular devices, electronics, home appliances, or just anything expensive and or in need of warranty or protection plan. I personally wouldn't be confident enough to willingly give my money to unknown individuals who sell the items, from untraceable origins, mentioned above. In other words, the Yelpers who left bad reviews spoke from their personal encounters. Hey, sorry but not sorry, like what Demi Lovato said. It was fun to poke around "Buyers Flea Market." Hubby said the men's washroom was quite clean, so my impression on this was, overall, positive. We will probably make it back occasionally when we are looking for inspirations and wanting to shop on a budget.
