Avenel Flea Market — Local services in Woodbridge Township

Last week was the 1st time I went here in 20 years. The internet websites will give you different hours of operation; open at 7:30am (this is the time that most vendors are setting up their stands). Other sites will say: Open at 10am (most stands are set up at this time). I arrived at 8:30am and had to re-walk the first areas that I saw.

Most tables are set up nicely but most do not have price tags on items.

There are some nice items if you get there early. This place still has potential but seems like management getting greedy. Last time I went most of the back lot was empty, and my favorite vendors...

Disappointing I did not find what I was looking for. What I did see was what appeared to look and smell like a bunch of garbage laid out on the ground. The owner needs to have rules and regulations on how they display their new gently used and old merchandise. Understanding that sometimes things get caught out in the rain on a rainy day. But once the mildew smell hits it it's basically garbage. But I guess as long as she's making money for the spot the table and the bins they can do whatever. But it's so unhealthy. And I'm rating one-star because I was able to find a close parking to the vendor I was...
