Grafton Flea Market

LOVE the Grafton Flea Market.
Wasn’t TOO great on 5÷31÷15, better on 6÷7÷2015 (better weather).
GO ON A SUNNY DAY!!! There are many more vendors and many more people around. The inside section of the flea market is rather small (compared to Raynham), yet the outdoor section is HUGE, and much larger than the Raynham Flea.
Owner is MUCH better than those that annoying guy (no name needed!) who runs the Raynham Flea Market.
Plus, parking is easy and doesn’t usually require much walking. And the food area is even pretty good, very clean during both of my visits and not too expensive. (The Raynham Flea Market’s food area needs inspection from the Board Of Health!!!)

This place is worth the dollar entry fee for the people alone. Very colorful and entertaining characters. And sometimes you find something useful! I’m always on the hunt for tools and most often or not I’ll find something useful. At the very least it’s fun to spend a few hours people watching.

Need porn and weapons?
This might be the place for you.
How about some knock-​off Asian goods?
If you don’t find anything you want, you can always buy some rotten fruit on the way out.

Been here 3 times in past few years, never bought a thing so for me that shows nothing but junk here. Sorry…

In recent years, my family and I have often patronized the Rietta Flea Market in Hubbardston and the now closed Lancaster Marketplace, so those are my two comparisons.
This review is based on 1 visit, Sunday, July 13, 2014.
Admission is $ 1 per person, which was a mild surprise. Like Rietta, the majority of the vendors are outdoors on tables, with some vendors inside. Very quickly, I noticed higher quality, more desirable items (less «junk») than at Rietta. Also, many of the tables are on grounds that are shaded under tall trees. This makes the environment of the flea market more pleasant. Grafton is also noticeably smaller than Rietta, so you can actually see everything in well under 2 hours.
It was good to see a few familiar faces from the now closed Lancaster Marketplace.
All of the vendors that I talked to were friendly.
An excellent experience! We will be back!

Always a good time here. My kids love the flea market! Plenty of tables to poke thru on a good day.

I went awhile ago and I know it was just piles of junk. I look for furniture usually dressers, tables, etc. and nice home furnishings and this market had none of that. I am surprised it is still in business, save your time and gas money and go somewhere better.

It was a flea market and I’m not sure if I was expecting something different. But this flea market did seem a tad on the junk-​y side. Now, if you wanted a beach towel with a naked chick holding a snake, this is your kind of place. Don’t forget about the booth with XXX videos, too. But thank goodness there were no Confederate flag items (although I may have missed them). I only bought a toy for my son and a pair of $ 2.50 sunglasses for myself. The produce stand up front was reasonably priced though.
Most items were priced well but there were some Madame Alexander dolls in poor condition that were too expensive.
I don’t think I would really like to come back here, especially not on a hot day like today.
By the way, there’s a $ 1.00 fee to get into the market.

The day we went it wasn’t really huge by any stretch, but I liked it more then the Raynham Flea Market in terms of the kinds of people it seemed to attract.
It is assuredly added to my future Flea Market sojourns.

Not sure why this is under the category of antiques? Most of the items for sale are things that you might find at a dollar store or at a real bad yard sale or at a town dump. You will also find some knock off handbags and sunglasses too. While I can’t believe some of these things were actually for sale, I was happy to see that these items were going to be reused (hopefully thoroughly cleaned first). If you are going to this flea market looking for an antique or anything of any kind of value above $ 10 or $ 20 then look elsewhere. If you look hard you might find some beat up old treasures, but if you look at anything too long you will have the dealer yelling prices at you. It is currently $ 1 to get in, which is okay and worth it for the people watching. The majority of the merchandise here though is complete junk that should be given away for free.

Mix of items is good. Can be hit or miss depending on the week. Lots of antiques and bric a brac. Only really great in the spring and summer. The inside vendors can be a bit dissapointing.

We found this market dissapointing. It was mostly cheapo depo new stuff and people’s junk. I did manage to find a few cool things though– some Fire King as well as a mug for 25 cents w my name on it. I won’t be back unless I hear they manage to bring in more antique dealers w/​nice things.

The stuff here is all junk. It is like every vendor went through their garage and found all the junk they wanted to throw out and put it up for sale.
Don’t waste your time.

a really good flea market with lots of good finds (yes, mixed in with tacky items as Julie A mentioned) for real cheap.
starts a little later than most other flea markets I go to, which is nice. ahhhh sleeeep!
They have good coffee and pastries there which also help with the morning shopping experience.

This is a pretty good flea market for everyone. A lot to choose from, and you always find some good stuff, but nothing outstanding or substantial. It’s more like a lot of yard sales in one big location. not too bad, not too great.
They have a small indoors area that generally sucks, or is a bunch of new chintzy/​old lady décor.
outside they have a mosquito filled forest (bring a few cans of bug spray) you can walk through and buy random stuff to your hearts content.
They also turn a parking lot into a vendor set up with more stuff!
You can always find something!
