Lafayette Collectibles and Flea Market

exploring a flea market is like treasure hunting, you never know what you might find. While perusing this establishment two old saying come to mind «one mans trash is another mans treasure» and «beauty is in the eye of the beholder». You can tell alot about a person from what they put out in their booth, some things are prized keepsakes filled with sentimental value and other are just baubles and trinkets only meant to turn a quick buck with internet, fashion, tv or social trends. The building here is old and there are many different nooks and crannies hidden along the back and side walls, so its good to walk all around and check everything out,

This is a fun place to visit. It’s pretty sprawling, with each booth owned by a different seller. That means you can find good deals right next to something you may consider overpriced. Lots of unique stuff. If you see something you like, but the price is too high, you can sometimes ask the people at the desk to call the booth owner to discuss a reduction. I’ve found several things, and paid fair prices. It’s big, so plan on spending at least 45 minutes wandering around.

Been there once. You have to be careful of the steps up and down in random places throughout the store. Looked like your basic flea market.
The reason that they don’t get three or four stars is that the whole place reeks of cigarette smoke. Either one person in there goes outside and smokes 15 packs a day, or they are sneaking ‘smokes’ inside the store.

This place is so much fun. It’s like someone went to the thrift store to collect all the cool, retro stuff and brought it here! Most everything is vintage. We like to come here first to look for furniture and see if there are unique pieces to incorporate into our home. Then I ultimately leave with some awesome ‘60s jacket or other house wears.

I could have spent much longer here but my husband was ready to go… I’ll be back (alone!).
The prices were very reasonable for everything. Lots of vintage stuff, some random weird stuff (lotion and shampoo?!), and it’s HUGE. The staff was very friendly. I’m excited I live nearby, I will definitely be returning soon!

This place was great! Something for everyone. Some of the booths are really flea market like and some are curated like little boutiques. Just keep wandering, you never know what is going to be around the corner. Plan on spending a couple of hours in here. We will be back!

Wow, this is by far the best flea market I’ve found in the Denver/​Boulder area. Much more reasonable prices than I’ve seen other places, and lots of selection. I totally recommend this place for the DIY/​crafter/​vintage lover.

This. Place. Is. Awesome.
If you go, set aside an hour or two of time to get lost in this wonderland of vintage, weird and wonderful finds ranging from classic to tacky and everywhere in between. Some of the best thrift finds I’ve ever had have been at this flea market/​thrift mecca.
The place might look kind of sketch from the outside and, sure, it’s labyrinthine, but this place has something for just about any kind of thrift nut. The people who work the register are super nice as well.
I have nothing more to say really, just that if you’re a thrifter, this will definitely be your jam.

This place was interesting. They have a ton of dust collectors – you know, your decorative plates and heart-​warming knick-​knacks. They did have a few cool stalls, including one with a ton of drawer pulls. I don’t know how much drawer pulls should cost, but they were pretty neat. They also had some old stainless steel barware, like an ice-​hammer/​jigger/​bottle opener. Lots of junk, and some other stuff too.

I could leave this totally blank and never let on that this is a veritable treasure trove. I could also have never gone myself if it weren’t for some local friends that initiated us to the wonders within… so I have to share. It’s only fair.
Like many indoor flea markets in the immediate area the booths are rented out by individuals who are then in charge of merchandising and stocking as they will. The best part about the Lafayette Market is that they operate at about 90% capacity– not a lot of empty booths. And not a lot of skimpy picked over booths either. Well, not until I’ve had my way with them at least ;) With our recent move to CO we had shed most of our furniture and large belongings. The Lafayette Market helped us to refurnish and redecorate now that we’ve relocated. And it was fun!
One of my favorite booths is very french country/​shabby chic and I can always find some sort of cast iron somethin’ or white ceramic doodad that I can’t live without.
Another booth let us score an amazing collection of danish hardwood furniture for a fraction of it’s worth– total win!!!
Give yourself plenty of time to explore!
Monday through Saturday from 10am to 6pm
Sunday from 11am to 5pm
And every 4^th Sunday they open their parking lot to even more sellers– bonanza!!!

Kinda hidden off of Public Road this building used to be an old bowling alley. If you have a dust allergy you might want to take a Benadryl before hand. Like any flea market it is hit or miss but I found way more hits here than I every did at the Mile High Flea Market. Old wooden school desk. Trumpet. Action Figures. The biggest highlight: vinyl! Not a huge selection but found some real gems. Worth a walk through.
