Alpine Village Flea Market (Los Angeles)

Advantages: Huge selection of collectibles and antiq1ues--prices are real low, dealers will bargain, at least 800 sellers, no new stuff sold there, parking is free, only 30 minutes frm downtown los angeles, very friendly dealers and staff
Disadvantages: can't think of any

...I visited this antique and collectible show last month and it was fantastic--over 800 sellers with a huge variety of vintage items from pottery to furniture, no new goods sold there! Had a ball, prices were very low, dealers bargained, thw quality of collectibles was excellent. Will come back every 3rd Sunday from now on. Parking was free and admission was only $4.50 for the day. it was great and it was only a half hour ride from mid Wilshire district in Los Angeles. Great bargains and selection on furniture and jewelry with a decent selection of old toys , banks plus some vintage linens. Plenty of shabby chic sold there (the white painted country style furniture), again at great prices.... Read review

Advantages: Free
Disadvantages: The stalls are not all in one place

...some rare collectible items. Although it is not as big as the Rose Bowl Flea Market, it is easier to browse around, and not so dusty. There are many vendors in Rose Bowl selling old shoes and levi's jeans. So whenever the wind blows, you will easily get caught with the old shoes' smell and it will ruin your shopping mood. Go there early to avoid parking problem. Vendors usually leave around 2:00 pm. Prices are not cheap since most of the vendors are very experienced. Don't worry about food. There are plenty of restaurants across the street. Or there are people selling snacks and coffee in the main area. Time: 8:00 am - 3:00 pm. Address: 1570 E.
