FEATURE - James' Antiques

Wouldn't you just love to sit and rock in this old rocker at the
end of an exhausting day?!

Our wonderful and fun loving  James loves antiques and has been collecting them most of his life! At one point in time he cleaned out people's barns and attics for a living. He started quite a collection, then, and has been adding to it ever since. Over the years he has filled his storage sheds to more than capacity with the most fascinating and fond memory inducing Vintage and Antique items.

Now James is selling those wonderful items here, at Okay Flea Market, for jaw dropping low prices! His items are in surprisingly excellent condition and he is always adding new items to his display. I never tire of looking at his set-up because every one of his treasures are so very interesting and no matter how many times I browse around at his shop, I still find something terrific that I hadn't seen that last time I was there.

So come on out and take a trip down memory lane as you see all the exciting, antique and vintage items at Jame's set-up. You are certain to find something you just have to take home with you! 

Online Sellers Pick-Up Point

Today, many people are selling their handmade and flea market type items online. Some are even holding their garage sales online. With people's lives busier than ever, this trend seems to work very well for both buyer AND seller. But what about safety?

When you sell an item online, you usually don't know the buyer, and visa versa. Sure, they may have a profile listed and appear to be the sweetest, nicest person on Earth, but how do you know what they wrote is real?  How do you know someone isn't just trying to come case out your house? Or how do you know that the seller isn't trying to lure you to his/her house to do who knows what to you? This isn't usually the case, but it only takes one time to result in tragedy. I recently was told by someone that sells online that a buyer was trying to get him/her to meet them after 10:30pm to pick up an end table that was being sold online! That was an obvious Red Flag, but not all Red Flags are so obvious and you can't be too careful.

Then there are the Meet-Up points. You sell something online .... you purchase something online, then you agree to meet at some 'in between' point for delivery/pick-up. This, too, can be very dangerous, even if meeting in a parking lot. In a flash you could be hustled into someone's vehicle and driven away .....

So what can you do? What is a safe alternative? One great suggestion is to make Okay Flea Market your Pick-Up/Delivery Point! The nominal fee for the weekend set-up covers three full days (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) and is a very small price to pay for your safety. You could choose one day a weekend, or all three days, to meet up with your customers and deliver their items. You don't even have to stay an entire day, just long enough to deliver your sold items. It is a very public place where people are milling about, everyone (other vendors) watches out for everyone and this option is much safer than meeting up in a parking lot somewhere or at your home. Unlike other Flea Markets where you sometimes are required to set up at a certain time, stay until a certain time, or for the entire weekend, there are no limits here. You are welcome to set up at whatever time is best for you and leave when you want to. Okay Flea Market is an excellent and safe option for delivery of your online sales. It will make your customers feel safer, too, which could very easily also increase your sales. So give us a try and have a great weekend!

Open All Winter - weather permitting

YES, when the weather is cooperative, we are open all year around! It just seems that lately, the really cold days keep falling on the weekends. Any time that we think it is the slightest bit warm enough that customers will want to drop by to shop, many of our vendors will be open. There are a few of our vendors that completely close down for the winter, reopening when the weather begins to warm back up, but many of our vendors are open any time the day warms up the slightest.

On the other end of things, you are also welcome to Set Up to sell at any time of the year. You don't have to be a regular vendor. You can set up now and then, or just once if you just have some things you are wanting to get out of your way. This is a great place to have your garage sale! It gives you a safe, secure feeling to not have people rummaging about around your house and seeing all the items that you might be taking back into your house. Let us know in advance and we can include a brief description of your sale in our weekly ad.

For anyone that might be interested, at the time of this posting, there is one, choice, storage unit available. It can be used for storage, for your flea market set-up or even to start a small business. It is a great chance to start your resale or small business with exceptionally low overhead. But hurry and speak up, it won't last long!

Have a beautiful weekend!
