  • @TEMINIX
    @TEMINIX 9 месяцев назад

    So I think the distinction between Flea Market and thrift shop comes from the style of the store. The flea markets you've visited appear to have different sellers who presumably pay a rental fee to have their items stored for sale within a large store space. Versus a thrift store which all benefits the one business entity. Thrift stores are reliant on donations. Whereas these are reliant on people having things to sell who are willing to pay the space rental fees. The two have entirely different business models.
    So these are basically indoor flea markets. And the term definitely suits them. Rick, you win this round!!

  • @gregorybrashear1520
    @gregorybrashear1520 9 месяцев назад +56

    It's NOT a flea market. It's an antique mall. A FLEA MARKET has Individual vendors who run their own booths, they don't leave it all priced and let a main desk do it all. At a flea market the vendors can change every day. GET IT RIGHT RICK!!!

    • @duke_8747
      @duke_8747 9 месяцев назад +1

      I’m in Ga and we have both where there are individual vendor booths in both antique malls and flea markets. The only difference is sometimes flea markets are outside and antique malls are full of old furniture and things no one wants with a few hidden gems. Tbh it’s whatever you want to call them. That to me was more of a flea market bc it didn’t have stuff you usually see at antique malls.

    • @ryandann9362
      @ryandann9362 9 месяцев назад

      As someone who used to thrift, I now consider mainly time we'll waisted. 90% of the stuff I found was cool at the time, maybe some cosmetic flaws or other imperfections, or a game id have no interest in but it was there so why not get it, hell beggers can't be choosers. After a couple years collecting like that, and seeing half the games have water damage, or are in bad shape, and the rest of the non game stuff is in a similar condition, or I have zero interest in it after the initial buzz of the find, your left with garbage. You now want to upgrade all the games to better condition, and spending time trying to sell the other crap isn't worth it so might as well trash or donate it. So now I am happy to pay price charting prices on good conditioned games, and I don't buy the random game junk anymore and only have nice stuff. Plus the hours I'd waste looking at trash, vs just buying what I want.

    • @light-bearer-1
      @light-bearer-1 9 месяцев назад

      That is the difference between successful people like Rick, people who like to whinge such as yourself. First: What you consider "time wasted", is an opportunity to make money, source inventory. That inventory, whether it be cosmetically imperfect, or not can be put towards a total fund to buy the "perfect condition" item. Second: There are a lot of people who like to collect complete collections, therefore condition is irrelevant. Third: Of course condition dictates price, this goes without saying. Why shouldn't an item in good condition or perfect condition command a premium? Who are you to say that, just because you don't have the finances to afford it. Either find a way to legally make money, such as sourcing video games or valuable items at low-cost, sell them, accumulate funds, or get a better job. Also, I would advise you to download grammarly, because your grammar, spelling, is awful .

My dad kept one in box but I eventually talked him into letting me open and play with it. Wonder how much that would be. Just fun to think about.

    Definition of a flea market is a market typically outdoors that sells mainly secondhand goods. So I guess it is technically a flea Market. But I would call it a thrift store or secondhand store. When I think of a flea Market I think of outdoors or maybe a giant rented venue such as a convention center. Not a little thrift store.
