There's Something for Everyone at the Granby Flea Market! My Hometown Flea Market! May 2024.

[@Perfidious_Hollow]

It doesn't matter what you collect, someone will have a negative opinion on it. People are loons. Great vid as usual Tom!

[@SSNESS]

Where’s Jerry?

[@fleabittenadventures]

Thanks!

[@rickcentore2801]

Thanks for the heads-up on the next Granby Flea Market in October!

[@fleabittenadventures]

Yes, it's usually in mid-May and mid-October. Not sure of the exact date yet. It's a good time!

[@junewagner6863]

Hi my name is June I live in the Northeast, Jersey. I'm new to your channel and hooked! I am a big collector of antiques and unique items especially Asian. To the person that commented on your bottle collecting Ignore them. They are Haters...too many good people in the world to have that comment get to you. Good luck and blessings always.

[@PatSimmons-g4r]

I really enjoyed your video. I live in Australia so we don't have so many of these wonderful sales. So interesting. Thank you for sharing.

[@fleabittenadventures]

Thanks! Happy you enjoyed it! Do they have anything like flea markets down there?

[@PatSimmons-g4r]

We do, but nothing on the scale you have. I guess because we have a much smaller population. Keep your videos coming please.

[@jeffwalker8101]

Great video Tom.I like collecting old bottles too.Always like to see how many different ones they are.😊

[@fleabittenadventures]

Thanks for watching! Glad you liked the video!

[@NoahSmith-gb5go]

I really liked this flea market video I would love too go there

[@fleabittenadventures]

I've been going there since the 90's. It's a good time!

[@cassie6583]

You mentioned that you had a comment pertaining to bottle collecting. I think you said someone said it was "the lowest of the low." Well I started collecting bottles with my grandfather when I wasnt more than 7 years old. We would find old trash dumps along side of roads that people used as far back as the 1800. I recently sold my collection for over 5ooo dollars and I bought my first car. So this reader in my mind is the lowest of the low when it comes to intelligence. Keep doing these videos. I love them..............!!!!!!!!!!!

[@thegerm574]

The circus programs are cool. Someone thought I was you this weekend. I had to tell them wrong guy. Lol

[@Excelsior_Real_Deal_Picker]

Really enjoy your videos, really informative. The green thing that I think is called a frog for flower arranging..

[@fleabittenadventures]

Thanks for the info, and for watching!

[@TheKryznowek]

So cool to see someone youtubing this flea market. I live in NJ now but grew up in East Granby

[@David_lick_art]

Aww wow I would've bought up all those POTA merch for myself if I was there! Big fan of the POTA movie series and TV series. Big fan of the new Ape's movies as well.

[@fleabittenadventures]

That vendor is usually there every time, so the POTA stuff will probably be back in October. I'll take another look then.

[@savage22bolt32]

So glad I can see all this stuff & not be there in person. I would come home with so much stuff, and when I got home, I'd have no idea where to put any of it! The doctor told me I'm showing early signs of OLD, so I should have my own tag sale..

[@hinkage]

3:50 LOL Keep on keepin on man.

[@fleabittenadventures]

Ha ha, yeah.... The comments section can be fun sometimes.

[@matthewgordillo2084]

Really enjoyed seeing all the fun stuff, that Tiki figure by the Flintsones glasses was cool. That figure with the He-Man (MOTU) figures was a Thundercat action figure. Great video, sign me up for team lowest of the low!

[@Jeremy123-y3q]

I like seeing all the different designs of the old soda bottles. It seems like each brand was unique.

[@fleabittenadventures]

I agree. I especially like the painted ones with colorful graphics! Very nostalgic!

[@donaldperson948]

I like the mad magazines and circus stuff!

[@fleabittenadventures]

Yes, good stuff!

[@rickmiller5356]

Obviously, the person who said bottle collecting is the lowest of low doesn't have a clue. There many pre-1900 antique bottles that sell for hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, and large antique bottle shows all over the country and museums that have amazing antique bottle collections and displays.

[@fleabittenadventures]

Yeah, I'm not really sure what he was talking about.

[@MusicSparkleStar09]

Something for everyone? Yup! I love going through flea markets but I'm super specific about what I collect. And even I noticed something I would have grabbed off to the side of something you were looking at :D I haven't watched too many of your flea market adventure videos yet, mostly the mall ones, so if you've already done one I haven't seen it yet, but I think you'd enjoy the year-round indoor flea market in my hometown, the "other" (smaller) Granby to the north! Kev's Barnyard.

[@fleabittenadventures]

I've heard about Kev's Barnyard, but never been before. Is it worth the trip? If I ever do indoor flea markets, it's usually in the winter. Too many outdoor flea markets to get to in the summer. Thanks!

[@rubeuspotter719]

I’m a book collector(I love to read hence why I like collecting them) and my mom managed to pick up a bunch from a flea market in July. I’m hoping to go to one so I can pick up some more for cheap. Especially older books cause those would be worth something one day

[@serpent6710]

Say it kwa-lah. One word. I had that lunch box, mid 70’s. You are correct.

[@Madness832]

I would've grabbed that Pepsi thermometer (3:43) and the Bill & Ted comic (19:18). Also: that little radio (22:56) was covered by a few KZbinrs (e.g. VWestlife). It's one of those scan-type receivers.

[@fleabittenadventures]

Really? That radio? I honestly had no idea! I thought it was just some cheap novelty radio.

[@donaldperson948]

The little jets are pretty cool!

[@fleabittenadventures]

I thought so too! I don't see old one like that very often.

[@amylaber-brinkler2853]

You can do a lot with bottles! I like to put the fairy lights in them and give them out just because! I had to rewind the Master of Universe part…I thought you didn’t know who Teela was…I had to rewind and saw it was another toy that definitely wasn’t Masters of the Universe! I was worried for a sec! lol 😂

[@fleabittenadventures]

I'm no expert on MOTU, but I can recognize Teela! Ha ha!

[@umrmech84]

Every time you scrolled past a woodworking plane I was going Go back, Go Back, Go BACK!!!

[@fleabittenadventures]

Next time!

[@taaesiwapornchai2531]

I had that same controller as a kid. I think it was around 2002-2003 that we bought it from like Circuit City

[@fleabittenadventures]

Yeah, that sounds about right!

[@MrBigballer956]

Jvc receiver was a good buy sold listings on eBay $90 to 99 plus shipping.

[@fleabittenadventures]

Darn. I should have checked the ebay listings. I think this one was damaged though, I think....

[@dingbatpaltry]

Shout out to the guy overheard in the video giving proper appreciation for bats.

[@fleabittenadventures]

Yes, I heard him too. Was he correct?

[@cairnmom3228]

I think this flea market is worth a trip from RI. That green uranium glass is a flower frog. Used in vases or bowls to hold flowers in an arrangement. Don't get the bottle comment. You collect what brings you joy. My husband collects beer bottles!

[@fleabittenadventures]

Flower frog! Got it. I don't think I've heard that term before. Thanks!

[@danbartolini27]

Drinking glasses to bottles seem like a natural progression

[@rubywingo6030]

Hey, about the typewriter…my husband and I thought about getting our two older grandchildren, ages 7 and 9 each one. We thought they would get a kick out of typing letters on paper! ❤

[@fleabittenadventures]

Yes, it's definitely different than typing on a computer keyboard. My favorite is the IBM Selectric II. The noise it makes is amazing!

[@deech2086]

New here. Enjoy the channel and the hunt for deals. Are you buying to resell or collect? Or both?

[@fleabittenadventures]

I'm a collector (some may say hoarder). Selling is a pain in the you know what. Thanks for watching!

[@donaldperson948]

I love old 1800 medicine bottles!

[@fleabittenadventures]

I really like the blue glass ones for some reason.

[@soysaucavenger]

i live relatively close by this place, but cant find anything about a flea market. when does it usually open - weekends only?

[@BELCAN57]

It's funny, I've lived in Enfield and now Agawam all my life and this is the first I've heard of this flea market.. Is it only held in May?

[@fleabittenadventures]

Mid-May and Mid-October. Their website is Salmon Brook Historical Society dot com. They usually have the exact dates on there. Thanks for watching!

[@fleabittenadventures]

Mid-May and Mid-October. Thanks for watching!

[@SandiRamirez-uq6eu]

Just think, if we were all alike it would be a boring world. Different likes for different bites!

[@fleabittenadventures]

Exactly! Some people seem to think that ONLY what they collect is worth collecting, which is an odd way of thinking, in my opinion.

[@Davidhodges93]

As a collector of human fingers I'm not really sure what's wrong with collecting bottles

[@fleabittenadventures]

Yes, fingers fit nicely in the opening too! Makes a good finger display.

[@danbartolini27]

There's bottle collecting and then there's bottle digging and collecting

[@rubywingo6030]

I don’t get the bottle comment…there’s just something about bottles. They can be very beautiful. Heck! I enjoy looking at different furniture and vintage clothing and shoes. The thought and creativity put into every day items should be appreciated!🎉

[@fleabittenadventures]

Yeah, I didn't get the comment either. Oh well. I like what I like.

[@Westernmassoutdoorboys]

Where in Granby is this and what days

[@fleabittenadventures]

It's on Rt. 10, but it's only held twice a year. Once in mid-May and once in mid-October.

[@Ellcoupit]

you should show your own collection sometime!

[@fleabittenadventures]

Someday! Someday.....

[@eaglerider1826]

I guess you can put me on that list for lowest of the low as I love old bottles . I wonder how much he wanted for that Evil Knievel Halloween costume ?

[@fleabittenadventures]

I should have asked.....

[@albertdaniel9187]

I would like to see the cast iron cookware.

[@fleabittenadventures]

I'll see what I can do.

[@66XL]

is this every weekend or just certain times?

[@KarenPiluso]

What is the date in Oct for the next flea market there?

[@xzAllisonxz]

Omg!! Dude, I live in Granby CT!! Holy cow, this is awesome. I drove by this Flea Market this past week. How cool!! Did you go to Granby high school?

[@fleabittenadventures]

No. I'm from the next town over.

[@xzAllisonxz]

@@fleabittenadventures so cool!!! Neighbors.

[@readysetsleep]

17:07 Breyer companion animals are $16 to $20 That cat at $6 was a deal

[@MrBelmosan]

On the large coin.. I think it said quarter paper weight (wt)

[@fleabittenadventures]

OK, thanks! I couldn't figure it out for the life of me.

[@donaldperson948]

If you’re not sure and it’s under 10.00 grab it!

[@fleabittenadventures]

Got it!

[@veteranpickers9205]

Does this go every weekend??

[@fleabittenadventures]

No. Sadly, it's only 2 times per year. Once in Mid-May and once in Mid-October.

[@davidg813]

Those old receivers are only worth about 20 bucks because they're there's no HDMI ports on them and that is the road everybody's going down today. What's coming back is the boomboxes I have four of them

[@fleabittenadventures]

I don't see boomboxes, or at least legit 70's or 80's boomboxes, very often. I would love one of those huge ones.

[@davidg813]

@@fleabittenadventures I have a techniques of Sanyo and a JVC I'm saving the Sanyo and JVC for my son's who at their age don't think they're worth having anymore but they will someday

[@EricBussman]

@fleabittenadventures I lived in Granby for years. On Elizabeth St across from the high school. I bet I know you lol

[@leroywindsor5914]

Please look for all the fishing stuff.

[@fleabittenadventures]

I'm trying, when I see it.

[@Cmm8859]

Some old bottles are worth quite a bit of money.

[@fleabittenadventures]

I'm sure. I just don't know which ones yet....

[@marilynbarlow8978]

Those are some cheap prices, I thought my flea market in Ohio was cheap but this is comparable. Most people at the one I go to have an attack if anything is priced over 3.00 lol

[@fleabittenadventures]

Yes, these smaller flea markets tend to have much better prices than the big ones, like Brimfield.

[@rubeuspotter719]

What flea market do you go to? I’m from Ohio and have been wanting to go to one for a while now, used to go to the one in Tiffin almost every year, then stopped cause I got too busy

[@66XL]

You pay marked price for everything? the best part of going is haggling

[@donaldperson948]

If the stereo was 200 amp up it’s worth 100.00 at least the best is Marantz stereos from the 1960’s! And 1970’s because you can crank it up and won’t shut down! Cheep radios shut down before the total amps! Stay away from the ones that shut down! Especially the 1980’s ones!

[@fleabittenadventures]

This one didn't look particularly high end to me.

[@malcolmharing3744]

Who wants to be Bedazzled? I know I do😊

[@fleabittenadventures]

Everyone loves to be Bedazzled.

[@malcolmharing3744]

​@fleabittenadventures I think the coolest part about Bedazzler is that you see the clothing that was Bedazzled by someone. When I see one I will point and say BEDAZZLED !!

[@pierrecourville2114]

Im just a old collector by expérience to keep value of your collection try to take piece less Brakebel,i hade bad expérience whit Glass.Thank you and Good Luck.

[@matthewnaylor4412]

How can bottle collecting be the lowest of the low? Some of them are worth a dam fortune, and you can dig them up, find them for free??.

[@fleabittenadventures]

Excellent question. I have no idea.

[@Excelsior_Real_Deal_Picker]

Typewriters are just a pain to ship…

[@fleabittenadventures]

I'm sure, and probably not worth the hassle. I see that type of typewriter almost every time I go to Goodwill.

[@donaldperson948]

If you can get off names on medical bottles under 10.00 grab them! If they are known brands stay away from them!

[@fleabittenadventures]

Good to know. Thanks for the tip!

[@TheBargainBoxer]

“the lowest of the low” means the absolute worst…..i.e. collecting bottles is the worse thing you could possibly collect…..fun fact, the lowest of the low is also the name of a band……

[@fleabittenadventures]

Yes, was that you that left the comment? If so, I know what you meant, but I still don't understand why you (or whoever said that) would say that.

[@TheBargainBoxer]

@@fleabittenadventures That was not me. I would never tell anyone what to buy or what not to buy……

[@donaldperson948]

Shit what do you want for 2.00?

[@misfitpezhead6178]

Lowest of the low. Get real that person sucks Tom don't worry about it.

[@fleabittenadventures]

Yeah, I get some unusual and perplexing comments sometimes.

[@TheSocialGamer]

Your shaking hands always make me nervous.

[@fleabittenadventures]

I don't notice my hands shaking.
