South Side Flea Market — Attraction in Indianapolis

Used to love coming here years ago. It was decently run and there were a wealth of options to choose from in terms of booths.

Stopped in yesterday to visit the retro gaming booth (The Game Room). Had it not been for this, I wouldn’t have gone.

The parking lot is in shambles…people weren’t even parked in the designated spots. It looked like a demolition derby. Parking lot littered with 4 bedroom, 3 bath potholes. Had I taken my smaller car, it would have fallen in one of them.

The flea market itself is another thing. Most booths were closed. On a Saturday afternoon, around 2:00 PM, that seemed strange to me. Aisles are difficult to get through. One person can walk comfortably. You’ll probably be moving single-file otherwise.

Outside of The Game Room, shop owners weren’t very friendly. I asked another booth owner if he had any video games. His response? “Does it look like it? The guy in the back does.” Yikes. Maybe just a bad day? Who knows.

This is one of the few flea markets left in town. If they changed their format to competitors’ — letting customers pay for items at the front and select from the booths — it would be worth the visit. But it’s hardly worth it if people aren’t even there to sell...

I love coming here, there bargins and lovely people to. However it feels as if my trust for this place has been taking away. This is mainly for those who collect pokemon cards. A few months ago I bought some lost origins pokemon cards here and just today I went to a local card shop and opened them to and was told that all of the cards that were opened were all fake cards. I also figured that something was not right because I was pulling vmax and full art cards like crazy. Then I saw a specific card that made me upset a original Charizard card from the original base deck. Also one of the cards was completely messed up on the back as well. Even the package was not good. They were resealed and I know they were resealed because I was getting two of the same card which isn't supposed to happen. Again don't buy any cards from her. And for specific location of where her booth is when you enter there the double doors, take a left until you see rows and rows of cardboard boxes. That's her. Again very disappointed and I wish I could trust this...

FIRST, THIS FLEA MARKET IS NO LONGER KNOWN AS "CIRCLE CITY FLEA MARKET". THE NAME IS "SOUTHSIDE FLEA MARKET". The booths are the old fashioned type that are run individually by each vendor, which explains the reasoning there are chain link fences separating the booths and giving the vendor the ability to lock up and protect their merchandise. Yes, lots of empty booths...so come and open your own booth, rent prices are too high for today's economy. Rent should be charged in accordance with what is being sold. There is a very nice cafe. There are collectibles, ball cards, tools, furniture, fashion, plus size clothing, jewelry, comics, tools, sports figures, cell phone merchandise, purses. There should be NO stolen or counterfeit merchandise as it is against the law! There is off-duty police protection. SO PLEASE COME AND VISIT, TAKE A SERIOUS LOOK INSIDE T@proddedg#! BUY, BUY, BUY!!! CHECK OUT THE APP CALLED"OFFER UP" FOR MORE INFORMATION. Have...
