San Fernando Swap Meet & Flea Market

This is a great place, big and good place for bargains. Cosmetics you can get a good deal and other stuff too. I was happy with my purchase .The only issue is I bought Mac cosmetics and when I came back and researched online I found they are fake. Also other cosmetics I bought were expired .So just beware. but nothing can beat some of the prices.

I’ve been coming here for 7 years, they always have what I’m looking for and more at great prices $… Me & family and I have made this a thing where we come together. Definitely go check it out you’ll be a happy customer as well.

This place is huge!!! Bargains are at every corner. You can find find everything you are looking at a reasonable price. They sell fresh fruits. Vegetables, candy, clothes, shoes, tools, plants, vintage items and even Services, direct Tv, phones, I even found Dignity Memorial they offered me preplanning for funeral and cemetery services– and I signed up thanks to them.
Well this place is huge, being comfy shoes and cash.

It is ok if your looking for clothes, furniture or tools. You can get a very small discount off what you get in the stores on household items. Other items are market value or even more. DVD and video games are priced high. If your looking for a place to just buy household items and save money this is for you… If your looking to find items to flip on Ebay then this is not for you. They want top dollar for those items if you find them. Admission is a very fair price.

Alright. Let’s just start off by saying that I’ve been coming here for as long as I can remember. Seriously! For anything and everything my mom was always like «Vamos al swam-​e» lol. But I never hated on that because that always meant I was coming home with something. Whether it was clothing or a toy. I loved it!
This place is HUGE. They have anything from new to used things. It’s all sectioned off too. They sell food and sometimes even have live music with clowns for the kids.
I strictly come for clothing and for home essentials. Everything is dirt cheap! And if you’re lucky you can even come across name brand items too! There’s a girl here that sells forever 21 and fashion Q items for $ 2.00. Can you say «come up»? :D I sure can.
This place is awesome! I do avoid it during summer though because the sun beams down on you and there is absolutely NO SHADE. Unless you’re under a little hut.
You can easily spend hours here and not notice. Best days to come are definitely TUESDAYS and SUNDAYS.
Dint forget to bring cash. No cc are taken here.

Been coming here for years. Great place to find deals! better hone your bargaining skills. Get there early (I like to get there before 7:30am) to find parking, especially on weekends.

Came here looking to get my cracked iphone screen fixed. Multiple little pop-​up stands where you can negotiate a 20 – 30 minute repair for $ 50-​$ 75. Took only 20 minutes and now it’s brand new! A crazy bargain considering the apple store does it for $ 150. Look for the big flags that say «REPAIR.» There’s 3 – 4 places in all, but I would go during the weekend when the «repair guy» is there. 4 stars for fast, awesome repair. Even gave me the old, cracked screen back.
The rest of the swap meet is a huge collection of little stands seemingly right out of Mexico — mostly selling produce (with enormous bags of cicharrones), clothes of unknown origin, as well as random assortments of household items, electronics, and home goods. A tiny food court is there selling tacos, tamales, etc. Costs $ 1 to get in. It’s all outdoors with little shade so put on that sunscreen and hat, and avoid really hot days. Did get a lot of weird stares being two Asian people that don’t speak a lick of Spanish.

Very homogeneous in nature with respect to vendors and inventory, once youve walked one or two aisles, youve pretty much seen the whole lot… socks, t-​shrts, and more socks, sunglasses, cell phone cases, etc. An astute and discriminating eye can cue you in to some nifty items, but what youll find are generally low grade items at low cost, w few exceptions. In any event, it is a good place to bring visitors from out of state, as the food choices are diverse and have Latino culture flavor, they’ll likely buy sunglasses, socks and t-shirts…Some may find the music offensive or loud, so be cautious with infants. If youre looking for differentiated and unique items, Rose Bowl swap-​meet is truly the best place to go for antiques, collectibles and traditional swap meet items.

I wish I could you have given this Swapmeet zero stars, but this option is not available. First off let me tell you why I’m giving such an awful review to the swap meet. first of all the parking is a nightmare. Then when you walk in, most of the sellers are vendors of crappy merchandise, and there are almost no used items to be had for a bargain. As a matter of fact all of the sellers are charging prices that are higher than retail stores and pawn
an example, I collect coins and video games. I came up to several coin vendors asking what kind of coins they have and prices of each. The prices I was quoted were absolutely ridiculous, so ridiculous in fact, that I am absolutely convinced I could get a better deal at a retail establishment such as a pawnshop or a coin shop. this being a swap meet after all, I tried to negotiate with the sellers. pretty much every single one of them not only refused to negotiate with me, but they yelled at me, calling me racially derogatory names in
seems like they felt, that negotiation at a swap meet is an insult to them. To add insult to injury, I have personally observed a woman with multiple children take out a dirty smelly diaper and orange peels and through them directly on the ground where she was walking. When I stopped her and alerted her that she put her trash in a trashbin and not on the ground, she splashed water in my face and called me a pinche gringo. worst Crap hole swap meet ever!!!

Meh, nothing special about this swap meet. Repetitive booths of shoes, furniture, make up, fruit and Mexican food all over the place. Really big and would have potential but there isn’t the thrill of finding hidden treasures in this place. Unless you think DTLA is to far of a drive then this place would be worth the visit other then that, if you’re looking for second hand clothing or old knick knacks this is isn’t the place to go to. I suggest the swap meets in LA for a better experience.

Always great buys and bargains. Make sure you bring enough cash! Or you will leave wishing you had. Great place to find things like shoes or hair accessories for your kids. This place is great!

Super fun… Lots of trash to treasures. Great walk & shopping. Foods, clothing, house stuff, live plant — fun fun
Clean bathroom

AWESOME swap meet! Mostly everything was $ 5. Got some amazing jewelry for $ 1 each even, I was going nuts.
My boyfriend got a Kenneth Cole watch for $ 40. Great stuff, just gotta be willing to walk around and find!
Outside so I definitely recommend sunscreen and hats. There are lots of drink stands around so plenty to stay hydrated.

This place is awesome. Make sure you get a raspado, churros, home made lays and spicy nuts. Reasons I come here.
— Buy video games, 64, super nintendo, etc.
— Good place to walk, get a tan, and enjoy some heat.
— Nice hispanic vibe where you find random stuff.
— Nice place for the wife to get cheap clothes.

When I first moved back to San Fernando and needed a place to go to avoid my torrid past and the acquaintances which accompanied it, this is the place I would retreat to. I honestly didn’t know that it was so close to me this whole time as it always seemed like some distant memory of smashed peanuts and clown capers during the circuses of my childhood.
Flash forward and this place has been a sanctuary to get away while being among the ruins of my past life. I came here a lot. There were cheap massages, all my household items at a fraction of the cost, and all kinds of swindled goods. It was a blind release.
Now that I can see again… This spot is redundant. I can not understand what anyone says, creepy guys will hit on you, no one ever looks happy, and if you want row after row of the same thing, no variation in originality or prices, then be my guest. I first saw it as a 4 star for the deals and get away, now its a 3 star because well, the same. It’s a good spot to find things cheap, but the atmosphere and fun aspect is not there. I can’t give it two because, meh, I HAVEN’T experienced better yet! Maybe I’ll give Saugus a try…

Went there to check it out and got a bit dissapointed with the pricing of stuff in there. I was under the impression that we will find pricing to be cheaper but ebay has a lot more to offer.
We met this sales guy somewhere in isle A who was selling a bottle of car wax that I swear is the best product I bought in that category. My car got scratch and paint from the post was deeply stuck to it for more than a year. The car wax that this guy was selling was the real deal. It removed the paint and slight scratches and also it kept the car looking shiny for two weeks. Just amazing. The sales guy was very nice and honest too. We got it for $ 20 for 2 bottles.

This place is huge! They are open Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. It is either $.50 or $ 1 per person to get in, depending on what day you go.
My friend and I spent roughly and hour and a half here and we didn’t even make it to the end. I ended up getting some makeup and nail polishes for super cheap. Most things are sealed and legit, but some are not so definitely keep your eye out and know which vendors to get your stuff from.
They have everything from technology to clothes to furniture to tools to toys to food and etc.
Definitely suggest checking this place out once in a while… you can definitely snag some pretty cool things for super cheap.

Back to the swap meet today, in the heat, to find some art objects for a sculpture project.
Picked up some great sunglasses, some interesting kitchen items for a buck, and a few bead items and dolls with which to get the figures composed in the art studio.
After a while we had to leave for it is hot and we were whirling down aisles and suddenly seeing familiar tables go by as though we were in the desert seeing an oasis or passing the same sand dune over and over.
We still love it and felt it was cleaner, more organized, and had more food options than previously.
For a buck you cannot lose.

It all really depends what you are looking for jn which you will find a good deal. Do not think about buyin any health food supplements, not cheap and there’s no negotiations. Clothes aren’t cheap either. Your better off getting something at the mall. I come around once in a looong while. Bought a box of incense for $ 1 from India. I typically get it for $ 2.50−4 anywhere else, small business shops. I bought decent size herb plants for $ 1.50… that made my day! It was like I struck gold. my mother told me that she saw the same size plant I bought at the Swapmeet in wal-​mart for $ 3.99. I also bought a well desired water bottle. Asking price was $ 3 i asked the what would be the price if i buy 2 bottles. The gentleman gave me 2 for $ 5 and gave me another one for FREE since it had a crack at the top, I gladly took it. I am a happy camper!!!
lastly i’ve purchased named brand nail polish for $ 1
Tips: Arrive early! you’ve been warned. Attempt to get there as soon as it opens if u can.
Have an Umbrella on hand and a water bottle. It gets warm quickly under the sun and I am sure the water bottles are pricey$$

This is a good place to walk around early in the morning. I get really good deals here.
Example:
Sony Headphones reg price 90, price paid 13 (damaged package)
Cobra 2 way radios worth 55, price paid 8 dollars (charging dock missing wire)
Energizer battery charger worth 13, price paid 5 (for the 2 way radio)
3 yards of fabric for 1 dollar a yard
and much more.

Lol
