What follows is a short poem I wrote years ago:
Saturday morning
The garage sale will open at seven clock
Getsix.
We eat a good breakfast,
So hop in the car Lickity Split.
With newspapers in hand,
And just for the sign of the flea market
We zipped around our small town
Search in gold.
Maybe we will see a new gold watch
The fact that only costs a dollar.
We must also find a first edition of the Bible
If we want a little 'luck.
We always fill the truck up.
From seven 'til dinner, we had to stop first.
So we have our systemTreasures in our backyard.
Well, it was not so difficult.
But what can we do with all that junk?
Why did we buy that bunk Chinese?
Well, no problem coming their way.
We will not sell to us next Saturday.
The lesson:

Most flea markets are just a thing once, but some of them are actually small businesses andthe owners keep them in a fixed location in the basement, utility room and garage. This is an important source of revenue for them. Families often go hand in hand sales yard.
