 Re: Fleamarkets vs. Retailers
well, in new york at least, i think flea markets CAN be brand-friendly. there used to be a "flea market" on 6th avenue and 24th street that sold lots of original, cool stuff and some of the more traditional flea market paraphernalia. they sold furniture that was made by local designers as well as antiques. i'm mentioning this because i found out from one of the TV design show that designers would get stuff there. they would come at, like, 12:30am, flashlights in hand, and grab up lots of good stuff before the general public got there. a LOT of this stuff ended up on TV. some ended in up antique stores.
maybe it was a kind of mix of flea market and craft fair. now would retailers look down on stuff they found at THIS type of "flea market"?
