apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I was looking into this because I just moved to Chicago and it seemed like a great way to meet people who are into similar design things but really 115 is a lot to pay for a bus ride and a snack, I would rather put it to use buying something at the market.

Oh, wow! sounds like so much fun!

i dont understand- why would you pay that much to drive with a bunch of strangers to a flea market? maybe its just me, i like to keep my treasure hunting to myself- what if one of those other people snagged something that you really wanted?

Second salley. At first I thought it was a good idea, then I realized for $115 and a group of potential competition for bargains and good stuff, I'll flee from then not with them (hahaha bad...horrible pun...I'm dying)

The last thing I'd want at a flea market is other people with good--possibly better--taste beating me to the choice finds. But it could be a good idea for people who don't feel confident picking out the treasures from the trash--at least till they get the hang of it.

Where where where are the fleas in the Pacific Northwest? Where?

It has always been my private and peacuful time to go out for shopping, wander around flea markets, buy some stuff if I am luck enough that day. So my full respect to the idea in business, I would rather prefer going to the market all alone.

It is cheaper to rent a zipcar, but not worry about parking? Yeah, I think the price is kind of steep, but every time there's something posted in Central/Western Massachusetts, we get a couple people looking to tag along with someone making the drive, like to Brimfield or whatever. I don't know a lot still about the happenings outside of Boston. I would like to go, but I don't want to pay $115. Something in the middle. The article states they started with the idea because people asked the sisters if they could come too, and they were jerks about it and said no because they wanted all that trunk space for themselves.

It looks like the people have a pretty good time. They probably have enough money to pay the bus ticket and enjoy the experience without getting to warped about others snatching thing they were eyeballing. It is perhaps for beginners or like a club activity. I prefer solo myself. I think this is a nice idea, and I looked around after the Wolff's Flea Market at the end of September, and well, that looks like a lot of fun. I hope to see the reports on AT.

$115 ?! I can't believe those chumps posed for that photo.
