Today Sunday Mother’s Day I went to the biggest flea market in California the Rose Bowl in Pasadena thousands of vendors set up their goods it was a huge flea market I found some good deals and I just had a blast looking around To see what people are selling if you go make sure you go early I had a great time
I appreciate you showing real life in Los Angeles.
It's pretty dope.
Come visit LA you will like it here
it looks depressing and boring asf
@@PoombaiNews Don't come to LA we don't need your negativity in our community!
@@MustangGuy2000 I will never go there. You can relax...
I've lived in L.A. for going on 40 years and have never,never, never been to the Rose Bowl flea market and now having seen it through the eyes of GiV I can honestly say I will probably give a pass on it for at least another 40 years.
Some things are best laid to rest. But thanks to Mike for gutting it out for us.
Cheap skate

I love picking at flee markets/ swapmeets/ tiangius but the rose bowl is a whole different ballpark. Don't go there looking for any sort of deal, its really only for the novelty of going there to be seen or for the movie studios to buy props.
$10/$20? 🤪 What a rip off! That's just greed, as im sure the sellers already pay for their pitch.
I'd rather go to Goodwill, and save the money for a nice lunch.
You are such a polite gentleman, i.e. thanking everyone. It's so nice to see that kindness. Elvis! He ain't nothing but a hound dog. LOL :-)
You are now a celebrity, with folks clamoring to see you!
You have charisma, and I really enjoy watching you!
Danke Schoen!
Thank you!
Butte schoen😉
@@germaninvenice, Bitte schön oder aber bitt‘ schee. 😹😷🇸🇪
I am proud of you Mr German Venice. At flea market and rose bawl in Los Angeles California. 👍💓
Your videos are so delightful. I watch your videos not knowing that I am smiling through them the whole time. Your love of the world makes your fans LOVE the world. You spread joy.
I guess my job is done then thanks for smiling
Indeed, very true.
A lot of people wear shirts that say "Good Vibes" but you're actually out there putting them into the world.
Hey man I wanted to let you know that im so grateful for your videos!So much bullshit on youtube now but you sir are a shining star!Thank You for your smile and positive vibes!!!
@Zed Love Hahah you're just a ray of fucking sunshine, aren't ya!
@Zed Love Only sociopaths/psychopaths can't feel his good vibes. You're definitely in the minority.
GIV has a gift of stopping to appreciate things that most of us would walk by without a second thought.
I wish your lovely mother Happy Mother Day
Hello My German In Venice! It is so wonderful to see your video. Thank you for making your fans so happy!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hey Mike... you forgot to mention that Michael Jackson preformed super bowl halftime show at Rose Bowl Stadium in 1993 and it was the Best super bowl half time show of all time 😎👍✌... Thanx for the cool Video German in venice
Thanks for the Rose Bowl flea market video!!! Awesome sight. Many more vendors than I thought would be there.
Thanks for the walk ,I had a nice time
Walking around with you 😃
I grew up in REDONDO BEACH, and
That used to be called the swap meet!!!!
I'm here because of Bob Dingo and his TH-cam ch. as he suggested your channel.
Good info & good videos here. Thumbs up.
I don't understand why anyone would clutter their lives with other peoples junk. Not unlike cluttering your mind with other peoples thoughts and values. Always interesting, thanks!
Been living in CA for about 40 years and never been to the Rose Bowl Flea Market. My birthday is this week so I told a few family members if they would like to join me this Sun to check this place out. Crossing one item from my bucket list. Thanks for the video Mike.
“We buy junk.
We sell antiques” 😁
That Alien Lego was dope! ❤️👏🏻 2:35
Michael Jackson Lego's 😍😍😍
Thanks Mike 😘
Hi Mike! Great video I love flea Markets I saw so many little things I would of bought like that picture of Michael Jackson with his name in red letters!♥️ I would of probably bought sone lego Michael Jacksons too! “The early bird gets the worm” and that is what you got to do see everything without a crowd!! Thank You for sharing! TSCHUESSING!
It's always nice to see all those old things in this modern world...They bring back good memories....
Methinks America charge an entry fee to scare off the "undesirables"...another great Vlog German in Venice...Thank you!
thank you .....i m happy i took a picture with you the day u made your silver play button award video ......im the asian guy on the scooter lol
I remember
That American map license plate was so cool, I would put it in my retro kitchen, have a great day Mr!
I would think it would be cheaper to go early. I love flea markets and would love to go to this one.. it looks amazing... thanks For getting this out to us...
Hi, German in Venice! Your videos brighten my day.
You're the man German In Venice! Much love from Utah
We really missed our local flea market last year. We only go once a year but we make a day of it with the family and you never know what you'll find, what you'll see, or what conversations you'll have with the vendors. It's a fun little fall tradition we really felt the loss of in '20. Hopefully we can go this fall again!
But in the meantime, I enjoyed you showing us around this one, GiV. Good to see people out.
Shot the perfect booths. Love that you’re on this side of town. There’s so much history on the east side!
We enjoy your touring Round for us due to lockdown and borders closed you gave me a trip to LA that continues..cheers!
Never land ranch statue, 🤣
Another fun awesome video from GiV
As a mom I appreciate you getting up early for the nice morning at the flea market! Thanks!
I'm From Chicago. And never been To Los Angels. Thank You. For Your Tours And Talents. I just Subscribed
Falcon on The Fence, wow dude - incredible!!! 1:15.
I'm glad you did it cause I don't feel like walking, I give you a 👍for this one.
💯💯👍 bro they charge it, BECAUSE alot of people go just to look & NO BUY, plus it's once a month....
Hey! it is Sunday...2024.......COOL!
I love looking at all those treasures.
Cool I do love love love flea markets and garage sales it's so cool and so much fun
I ❤ everything about your videos.
But.... the thing I luv the most is your timing. You know exactly when to say nothing-giving the viewers a chance to reflect, etc.
And you know exactly when to speak. But the beauty is... you don't ramble, it's almost like you're psychic and answer what we we're thinking. Also, really like how you explain and how you asks your viewers if you're not sure -"Cactus or Cacti", just a small example.
I believe you could become the
Mark Wein or greater t
of What's up in Venice Beach and other California attractions. ( In your Vid of what you like better in US vs Germany - you said "all you have to do is believe").
Keep being you, stay professional, adventurous and all the great qualities that make us remember or want to see things through your eyes.
Even with all the ugliness in this world, you remind us of the birds, flags, license plates, the eateries, just all the things we walk right by because we all rush through life and forget to live and see all the beauty God created.
You are right, if you are going to spend money at a flea market, the entrance cost must be free.
Who will pay to clean the bathrooms and cleanup after everyones gone?
Christena Walker A wise woman! Great comment!
Plus having to pay insane property taxes, and PROVIDING the toilet paper must cost a LOT!
In Germany the entrance is free, otherwise nobody would go there .
@@Marvel66666 that tells you Americans have way to much disposable income .
💯👍difenly I'm not paying I'm fleaing out 🤣
i lived in altadena and pasadena for years. and i never made it to the rose bowl flea market. thank you for this!!!!
I've been there in the 70s, always fun.
$20 dollars to a flea market! That’s insane. Imagine you had a family of 5, you’d have to remortgage your house.
Put them in the flea market, 😆 (I know not funny)
Ill help you out it equals 100. The answer is 100.
Because it's at the port area of cali. Lots of chinese and knockoff goods at flea markets but by cali its the hub of where they all start to get their chinese goods and knockoff ware brands. It all gets off the boat next to this flea market, then the resellers go early to snag all the wholesale deals to resell to others that come later. The owners know it is the hub of the grey market resellers.
Basically what I am saying is... all those resellers on ebay with Fike shoes (not Nike but N'ike, N!ke, and N1ke shoes) get their wares probably from the main people at this flea market in cali. The owners know people come to pay half price for fake shoes and hats, and resell it for profit, so they are making money off the 'early bird' people (people who want the resale deals before others)
Gotta get me a pair of those Fike shoes. They sound legit.
Thank you, Mike! Nostalgia, wow!!! The memories of some of those Snoopy and Charlie Brown dolls, metal lunchboxes, and boom boxes brings me back decades!
When I lived in LA I furnished my entire house with vintage furniture purchased at area flea markets (no crappy new furniture manufactured with inferior materials). The few times I visited the Rose Bowl I quickly learned to shop "across the canal" first since this area had more "occasional sellers" and not professional dealers who charge prices comparable to an antique store. My recommendation, which may be outdated, would be to check out the monthly Long Beach Antique Show at Vets Stadium (entrance fee required), the weekly Golden West College swap meet in Huntington Beach (no entrance fee) or the weekly Cypress College swap meet in Cypress (no entrance fee). If you're ever in San Diego Kobey's swap meet is pretty good (small entrance fee).
Shout out from Nova Scotia! I have always wanted to visit California so thank you for bringing a real view to everyone!
Guten tag! I was stationed in Frankfurt during the early 1980's when I served in the Army! I love schnitzel & a good beer! Thank you for sharing this video! 🌸
Thanks for this, you've convinced me why I never need to go to the Rose Bowl Swap Meet! Thanks for saving me the trip! You are awesome, hope to run into you in Venice one day!
Definitely not worth 20 bucks to look at junk lol
Ah! That old NES on the right looked to be in great condition. I would've bought that in a heartbeat. Plus the pistol!
Thank you for sharing this video
I love Pasadena...such a beautiful place! Thanks GIV!
Luv your Arnold Swarzenegger accent. On your next video, would love to hear you say "get to the chopper". All the best.
I got to the Rose Bowl flea market at eleven o clock. I found a Slingerland tenor banjo that the instrument hawks missed. The pot and resonator were in good shape but the fret board and the skunk stripe were made with sap wood because it soaked up the black die so good but had to have rotted with in months of it being sold. Had to make a new neck, but I saved it from becoming a five string, which is what happens to most of these in the US.
my Dad sold there for years, I loved that market.
I helped decorate one of the floats for the Rose Bowl parade, back in 2006. It was a cool experience. I've never been to that flea market though. 🐰💜🇺🇲🎸🎶🤝✌
Nice walk around! I was *born* in Pasadena, and my mom's side of the family have been in Pasadena since something like the late 1800s. I still have an aunt (she must be in her 90s) living near Pasadena, and my mother's mother had a men's clothing store in Pasadena and I guess that's where she (my mother) met my dad. My mother also used to help make the floats for the Rose Parade, everything is made of flowers or other plant parts. But I've never been to the Rose Bowl! I knew a guy who told me he made part of his living going to to the Rose Bowl flea market and buying stuff to resell. My family left Pasadena when I was very little and moved out to Orange County on the coast. So it's really funny being born in Pasadena and not knowing the city at all.
I can't imagine spending 20$ for being early, I would think would be the other way around. It should 10$ for the early birds👍
It's because the best items are the first to be sold so the later you come the less deals to be had. Believe it or not but a lot of people make a living buying, restoring and then selling old items from flea markets / swap meets.
also not too crowded
Thank you so much my brother God bless you 🙏
Thanks for doing this Mike. We love you. You are amazing, all the way from the UK
If i ever go to cali for sure id like to meet german in venice such a cool guy😃
I knew I recognized you ! I saw you at the market but was too shy to go up and say hello! Next time I will 🇲🇽👍
Don’t be shy just say hi
Oh wow so much antiques
Happy Mother’s Day GIV
Gotta Love a good flea market! A Place where your dollar gets CPR and comes back to life with a vengeance !! and it's fun. Love the Concord one in northern California.
Love flea markets 💞 awesome video thankyou
You can always find alot of great history in these wonderful places.
As I said before Mike I just recently found your channel.Kovacs luggage is right up the street my brother worked their many years.As I see your videos, You could not give me a home with a brand new car to live in La.Again.Just keeping it real.And I was born and raised there.Take care Mike..
Some buy to sell, pretty much like these guys. I love those places! Thanks Mike
I like your hat. Reminds me of my military days.
Once again you hit it out of the flea market. I so enjoy watching YOU that I share you with all my Uber passengers. As far as I'm concerned you could aim that camera at your face and talk to us/me for twenty minutes every day and I would be more than satisfied. My point is (You Are The Aattraction) to your channel and all other content is a bonus. Thanks for always putting a smile in my 💗
I enjoyed this video very much, Thanks
Los. Angeles. Classic and Iconic!
Thanks Mike, I love flea markets, it was fun.
I want to meet Zee German so bad. I swear I look for him every time I walk around LA.
How sweet of you to say!
He is so upbeat! A joy to watch!
t. M. ...🤔I think that’s called stalking...
...scary admission to make....😬
0:01 glad the homelessness in California has been solved. All the homeless got apartments in the richest county in the world. They also got well-paid jobs and everybody is happy there. No more the smell of human feces all over SF and LA. Tent cities went up in flames because people moved into their new apartments.
I love Flea markets....thanks for sharing Mike .
I had fun too thank you from Seal Beach California
From now on, I'm going to call you Mr. "glücklich." That means "happy" in German. I just hope I can remember the word! Thank you for your videos.
I love that Denver Nuggets Mutombo jersey!!!!
“I hope you can see me even though I’m wearing camouflage” 🤣🤣
Thanks for taking us along with you!!! Love the videos!!!!
I enjoy this TH-cam channel more than virtually any other. Thanks GIV!
Thanks Mike!!!! Great Video
Thanks for this video on the Rose Bowl. I sold antiques there for almost 10 yrs. Then moved to the PNW 20 years ago. Haven’t been back since, so it was great to see the place. Back then, the entry fee cost $10 for early bird shoppers. The best stuff gets snapped up quickly so the $20 fee is worth it. Wish you had bought the US map or Michael Jackson picture. It’s fun scooping up something unique at the Rose Bowl.
Great video I always heard about this swap meet. Now I can say I saw it. I hear movie and tv stars sale here
OMG!!! that Michael Jackson picture is amazing!🔥
I like it too. It’s like a mix between Invincible cover and his nineties look.
Happy Mothersday Mike..Best wishes to your Mom..You cant complain a bout weather there..Its raining 14 deg here in Italy.Your right about the flea markets..here they are for free.I have been once in the US in 2008 in Florida,friends taken me to huge flea market.I was surprised we had to pay but it was worth it:-).I loved the garden,yard sales..we dont have those in Italy
YOU...PUMP...US...UP!
The GERMANATOR
@@sherrybaker4485 LOL, that is a good one!
@@sherrybaker4485 naturlich!
I subscribed because your videos are different and I learn something. Thanks man!
Thanks
There you are!!!! I'M HAPPY TO SEE YOU.How about seeing the Casino.
Also Love flie Markets
Thanks for sharing a part of your world that many of us will never get to see. Keep up the good work.
Now you see him, now you don’t. Great camouflage!
Here in Canada all flea markets, regardless of size, are free to enter. Unfortunately, because of the situation we're in, most indoor ones are temporarily closed. Love you're channel Mike, keep up the great work!
I live in Pasadena and the city here is all about grabbing people's money. I would never pay $10 to look at junk.
Spending 20dollars to get in early
5 bucks should have been a fair price
One man's trash, is another man's treasure. Fun flea market! Thanks for the tour Mike! 👍
Ah thank you for the brief stroll over the fleamarket 😊 I think the Last one I went to was September last year here in Germany . Since November we are in lockdown 😒 . Entrance fees , I know about at least one in Dortmund that has entrance fee , but it’s also a park . And hey i spotted the vintage Barbie doll case with the lunchboxes 😄 if I ever will make it to LA again , I would love to go there . Thanks again . This was so cool 😎
I wouldnt mind spending 10.00. Ypu would pay that to go to a museum. This is like a museum. And so much art! I love antiques and oddities/curiosities. I would be in my element for sure. But not ready to be around that many people just yet. Plus im in Canada. But ty for the video!
It's like a museum where you can buy the exhibits.
Yes i dont agree with all your points of view. But i really like your channel and the things you post. As a Los Angeles Native you show real footage. Thank you
I love going to the flea markets in my area. They are finally opening back up and I love seeing everything and eating at the food stands. It’s amazing how many interesting things you can find.
That was really cool thank you
