Awesome Flea Market

If you are expecting anything like a mall or a delightful shop, don’t bother. This is where the belly of society thrives. You need that odd screw to finish repairing that 1972 Sanyo TV, more likely you will find it there. Want to argue with a toothless old woman over 35 cents, this is your Mecca. Need to find that old sign that used to hang in your grandparents basement when you were a kid, now that urge can be put to rest. This place is a treasure trove of everything you need, want, and desire. You just have to look, happy hunting.

This place is down the street from where I live. I’ve been a few times, most recently this past weekend. It’s a hit or miss in this place. I wanted a Texas Star for my house and found it here at a better price than anywhere else. Like most paces you know not to buy makeup or clothes here because it’s cheap, old and won’t last long. The dog lady is no longer in business here THANK GOD! The food is good but kinda pricey. It’s not a glamorous place by any means but every once in a while you’ll find a good deal.
They also offer a «float down the salt river ride» and honestly why would you want to?!? The Salt River stinks and it’s dirty. So I wouldn’t waste my money.

It is what it is expected to be. If you’re expectations aren’t high you won’t be disappointed! The pictures of ‘people of Walmart’ could have also been taken here. Wish I could have snagged one of the shaven bald guy who chose to leave a set of eyebrows and handle bar mustache on he rear of his head… Stuff for sale: extreme couponders merchandise, leftover yard sale items, old tools, new tools, clothes, work boots, you name it/​it’s probably there in some form or another!

Not really awesome… tools, guns, knives and articulated action figures. Inside is much better than outside. Just go to Walmart.

This market was ok by me.
First…the puppies. I wasn’t a fan myself of seeing puppies as a vendor but after learning that the lady who sells them takes them home everyday and they actually live in a real house while the lady sleeps in her RV. I don’t know any more than that but I know that Ive been to AFM a few times and I see different dogs there so I dont know if she’s buying from the mills or running it. Nonetheless I don’t think selling puppies there is appropriate.
As for the rest of the market, lets be honest… a place called a «flea» market – what do you expect to see there? Garage sale rejects, rejects of everything. Its where you go to bargain and just look around. I actually enjoyed it very much, not that I bought alot but I enjoy seeing those old junky items that were rejected. Its a jog down memory lane sometimes and you just never know what you’ll see.
For a few hours to run through it, I thought it was pretty neat and I was able to purchase everything I wanted at bargain prices.
Good vendor for Health and Beauty supplies like shampoo and conditioner, laundry detergent, deo, toothpaste, feminine products, and other dollar store odds and ends.
Beware of the vendor selling Beats and Otterboxes – they are counterfeit.
They tell you that they are authentic but they aren’t. If you ever try to use Otterbox’s warranty program they will ask for photos of the inside markings that determine whether they are authentic or not and if you don’t pass, you don’t get a warranty replacement.
Other than that, happy bargain shopping!

This place is anything but awesome. the fresh produce stand outside is the one and only draw to a place that is dirty and offers mostly garage sale rejects and puppies that are obviously raised in poor conditions. Do not waste your time with going here.

We can’t believe the owners of the flea market would allow the puppy mills as vendors. They should be banned.
Also the majority of merchandise for sale from the various vendors, looked like it came from home robberies. Not kidding, this place is scary.
We won’t be back.

Awesome??? My A55! Drove down 65 to Shepherdsville to check out the large awesome flea market. Food was limited to a one or two places. The place was pretty busy most if the vendors were friendly. We were looking for some deals. On starter tomato plants.
Bring cash, The ATM machines phone lines got hit yesterday. The morning of the derby race. They have some deals for somethings, tools, movies, toys, camo bdu. Lodge cast iron, custom signs, t shirts.
I didn’t care for the dog mill situation, or the fact, fresh produce was very limited. So no great deals. The indoor flea market was nice cool the bathrooms were sort of handicap accessible. The doors thresholds were difficult to negotiate/​maneuver even with help and do not attempt to negotiate the ramp out back. To shop outside since the parking lot has a dangerous grade (read… this will hurt and leave a scar) if you live it’s also going to hurt real bad. even for two persons /​helper. The standard ramp should have 1 foot of run for every inch of rise.
Many of the booths were empty or vendors took off for this Sunday. I’d come back again after I’m board to get out and do anything like exercise. Wear good shoes. And your feet will be thankful.

There are several booths that sell puppies. The type of puppies from backyard breeders and puppy mills that do no health testing of the parents, breed strictly for profit, and provide fancy «1 year health guarantees for genetic defects» when most of these genetic defects can’t even be diagnosed until 2+ years of age. I’d like to state that I have nothing against responsible dog breeding, but this ain’t it. Breeding a female dog over and over and over in order to have a constant supply of cute puppies to sell to suckers who either don’t care about the conditions the breeding dogs are kept in or haven’t bothered to learn is not responsible or fair to the animals. Many puppy mills simply cage the females their entire lives. Unfortunately, a lot of the mama dogs end up in shelters once they are too old to breed since they were only useful while they were producing profit-​making puppies.
And oddly enough, they have a «No Pets» sign for the building.
As for the other booths, there is a range from the crappy to the useful to the pretty good quality. Western wear, home décor, tools, and such.
