Do your products really "fit" into a fleamarket environment?
I've always viewed fleamarkets to be sort of bargain/inexpensive stuff. Is that the way you view fleamarkets in your area (might be different where you are)? Is that how you view your products?
I would think a website might be a better sales outlet than a flea market, but I could be totally wrong about the flea markets in your area. They could be much more upscale.
