Mick's Flea Market — Local services in Gas City

I like this place! Yes, you get followed all over the store like you’re out to shoplift but it doesn’t bother me. They are just protecting the vendors’ and their items. Don’t take it personally. Places like this have things stolen on a daily basis and things also get broken on a regular basis and things get picked up from one booth then dumped in another. If you were a vendor and constantly lost things or had them broken you wouldn’t stay. If they don’t protect their vendors then the vendors leave. It’s simple logic. I also don’t care if the owner is rude. Lots of their customers are far more rude. Besides, I don’t come here to be catered to or smiled at. I don’t ask them questions about things they can’t possibly answer. I come here to find things I need or can use for a good price. I get that in spades, I say hello, smile at them, thank them, and tell them I’ll be back. I’ve gotten some really great deals on the things I’ve bought here. It’s my favorite store of this type that I’ve ever been to and I’m 61 and lived in 5 states and shopped in several others. If I was still a vendor I would like to sell from here.

Sorry to say, but this place isn’t worth wasting your time on. The owner CLEARLY had a price LISTED on the outside of an item, yet, he refused to sell it at that price because:

1. had to go through every last item (almost 3,000 cards)
2. he claimed he didn’t sell items by the box, when he himself clearly wrote on the box himself (and he told me to my face he wrote it on there).
3. he was more interested in watching the TV in front of him, than striking a deal for the customer or himself…..3,000+ cards…. Just a cranky old man that doesn’t understand business anymore. Employees are helpful and courteous, but he is way past his time….I wasted almost a full hour sorting cards for him to start going through every one of them. ...

It's a lot of stuff, but there a lot of cool stuff in there. A good place to get used tables and furniture if they have it in stock. They also have a lot of wheel chairs and stuff for people who have issues with mobility upstairs with the furniture. (Yes, it doesn't seem like the best place for it, but upstairs has the space needed to spread it out so you can see it.) Lots of old video games and CD's and just random stuff. If you need a baseball bat, they have tons. 😂 Nice people working there too. They offered to help move furniture without us asking. I got a pair of chairs and a nice coffee table for like $55. If you like looking through stuff to find hidden treasures, this is the...
