      We do, but nothing on the scale you have. I guess because we have a much smaller population. Keep your videos coming please.

    Hi my name is June I live in the Northeast, Jersey. I'm new to your channel and hooked! I am a big collector of antiques and unique items especially Asian. To the person that commented on your bottle collecting Ignore them. They are Haters...too many good people in the world to have that comment get to you. Good luck and blessings always.

    Something for everyone? Yup! I love going through flea markets but I'm super specific about what I collect. And even I noticed something I would have grabbed off to the side of something you were looking at :D
    I haven't watched too many of your flea market adventure videos yet, mostly the mall ones, so if you've already done one I haven't seen it yet, but I think you'd enjoy the year-round indoor flea market in my hometown, the "other" (smaller) Granby to the north! Kev's Barnyard.

    • @fleabittenadventures
      @fleabittenadventures  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I've heard about Kev's Barnyard, but never been before. Is it worth the trip? If I ever do indoor flea markets, it's usually in the winter. Too many outdoor flea markets to get to in the summer. Thanks!

  • @cassie6583
    @cassie6583 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    You mentioned that you had a comment pertaining to bottle collecting. I think you said someone said it was "the lowest of the low." Well I started collecting bottles with my grandfather when I wasnt more than 7 years old. We would find old trash dumps along side of roads that people used as far back as the 1800. I recently sold my collection for over 5ooo dollars and I bought my first car. So this reader in my mind is the lowest of the low when it comes to intelligence. Keep doing these videos. I love them..............!!!!!!!!!!!

    I’m a book collector(I love to read hence why I like collecting them) and my mom managed to pick up a bunch from a flea market in July. I’m hoping to go to one so I can pick up some more for cheap. Especially older books cause those would be worth something one day

  • @amylaber-brinkler2853

    You can do a lot with bottles! I like to put the fairy lights in them and give them out just because! I had to rewind the Master of Universe part…I thought you didn’t know who Teela was…I had to rewind and saw it was another toy that definitely wasn’t Masters of the Universe! I was worried for a sec! lol 😂

    • @fleabittenadventures

  • @rickmiller5356
    @rickmiller5356 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Obviously, the person who said bottle collecting is the lowest of low doesn't have a clue. There many pre-1900 antique bottles that sell for hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, and large antique bottle shows all over the country and museums that have amazing antique bottle collections and displays.

    I would've grabbed that Pepsi thermometer (3:43) and the Bill & Ted comic (19:18).
    Also: that little radio (22:56) was covered by a few TH-camrs (e.g. VWestlife). It's one of those scan-type receivers.

    • @fleabittenadventures
