Jake’s Flea Market

There are some days when you just need a walk through other peoples junk… Jake’s is the place. Free parking. Lots of vendors especially on Sunday. Be careful on route 100, especially if you need to make a left out of the parking lot.

Went to Jake’s for the first time today, and it won’t be my last. Nice large flea market with all kinds of things from live plants, antiques, parts and pieces, to old junk and new junk. Fun to walk around and see what kind of treasures you might just find.

This is a great place to stop to find anything you want. Sunday is my favorite day to go.

I think I hit this place on a bad day. Not great on the antique and unique, pretty heavy on standard yard sale junk. Prices are good on tools and household items. This is the place VHS tapes has gone to fade away, more than I’ve seen in years. I know flea markets are hit or miss, so maybe I just hit a miss Sunday, would give another chance another time. FIVE STARS for people watching tho, pretty interesting characters seem to come out of the woodwork for this flea market.

I’m definitely a big Jake’s Flea Market fan. Friendly people, easy to find location.
I go every weekend to this out door market with a 2-​wheel shopping cart. Love the great deals on odd stuff, fresh produce, and my favorites — rocks/​minerals/​crystals. Huge variety, especially on Sundays when its not raining. You could easily spend 2 hoursor more looking at all the cool stuff. Super food from 2 vendors, indoor bathrooms. Bring the kids and a few bucks, you’ll almost always come away with something fun. You’ll find everthing from kids stuff, clothes, furniture, automotive/​garage/​yard stuff as well as antiques and collectibles, handcrafted jewelry and other items and soooo much more.
Extra Tips: Don’t wear sandals/​flip flops as the gravel can get annoying if you do. There are some super bargains on rainy days, as there are 2 covered pavilions with 52 tables each. Never be afraid to ask: «Is that the best price you can do?»
Got something to sell? The $ 10 cost for regular tables and field spots seems a great investment compared to trying to organize a yard sale on your own.

Today being 4^th of July, my folks and I decided to go on a wee bit of an adventure, finding out that Jakes was opened, we decided to head out, I’ve been wanting to make it out there (it’s a 2 hour drive for me!) for the past two years and finally made it! All I can say is OMG! I can’t wait to return! Being city born and bred, it was awesome being out in the country, a very hot day but awesome, although it is a holiday, there were plenty of vendors there and I couldn’t believe the prices, extremely affordable and nice quality antiques and collectibles. I am a Boyds Bears Collector and bought 5 bears (and resisted buying quite a few more) and don’t think I spent $ 10…one bear had a $ 45 original price tag on it… one vendor told us the place has been known to have at least 500 vendors at one time, heck, I’ll get up at the crack of dawn and get down there no problem! We LOVED IT, LOVED IT, LOVED IT! Need I say more! If you are a fan of old fashioned flea markets (where the older collectibe stuff, greatly outnumbers new merchandise) this place is for you, not to mention the fresh cheap produce!

Located in the middle of a field in the middle of nowhere.
Worth it? Can you curse on here? Fuck, yes. It’s worth the drive.
People get here in the dark of morning, flashlights in hand, rooting through boxes that have barely left the seller’s hand. Rows and rows of tables. Massive. Everything imaginable. 1965 light up Schlitz beer signs, books, records, metal eagles to hang on the wall, billy clubs, cheap old furniture, lawn mowers, clothing, clean bathrooms and hot food.
And if you want to sell, the spots are first come first serve, big enough to park your car and display what you got. All for around $ 8.
