Gepps Cross Treasure Market

The entry fee is $ 1.50 if you’re 16 and over (I’m 95% sure but I can’t remember)
This market is great to go to, it’s split into two sections. One section is of fruit and veg and the other section is the where second hand gear is sold. The good thing about the Gepps Cross Market is that there’s a lot of home sellers there rather than dealers.
Going to markets is so satisfying I can’t even begin to tell you the positives. I’m 17 and have been doing it all my life. At the market I have brought clothes ranging from $ 1 to $ 5. I will only spend $ 5 to $ 10 dollars on something if I love it to bits. I have brought the school bag I currently have for $ 1 and it was practically brand new and was used once, it’s sitting along side of me as I type this. There’s a lady at the market that goes there and sells all her fancy clothes for $ 3 to $ 5 if I see something I like I buy from her. Don’t bother paying 30 dollars for purses, you can buy them for under $ 5.
Basically, there’s everything at the market, from fancy shoes to fridge markets. Honestly, give it a go and if you don’t like it then that’s okay but if you do then that is fantastic. Going to markets has helped mum and I save so much money.
If you’re a buyer the market opens at 7am and closes at 2pm
If you want to go to Gepps Cross as a seller BEWARE! Heaps of people like to haggle but please don’t get offended, it’s nothing personal.

This is one of the coolest things at the drive-in…right after the movies of course! Held every Sunday morning for as long as I can remember and probably about the biggest weekly trash and treasure markets in SA.
Cheap to get in and the entry is well and truly covered by the savings. I especially like to go here when it’s fruit season for peaches, apricots, plums and the likes that are more seasonal and usually a lot more expensive. Heapos cheaper to buy them from here. Better still get a few of you together and buy big 10 or 20kg bags then split them up. Works out even cheaper again.
There’s always some regulars that go and sell tools, bikes, games, clothing, sunglasses, dvd’s, electrical and then all the people that just go to get rid of a whole heaps of stuff. You have to go here to sell at least once just for the experience though. You get there when it is still pitch black. You can’t see what you are doing and Asians are almost climbing in your car with their torches to see what you have. If you take anything fantastic it will probably be unloaded for you, if you get my drift. So get in early for the best bargains and coolest stuff.
And as Chloe said take your cash, no eftpos machines here. And I recommend you barter or haggle for anything and everything. People are there because they want to sell this stuff and it’s their trash, get the best deal you can.
Big Tip: much easier to just go for street parking on Main North or preferably Port Wakefield Roads. If you get parking inside it is way too hard to get out once it’s packed with patrons!

I love markets, of nearly any kind. But the best kind of markets (in my mind) are the most ramshackle. Gepps Cross Treasure Markets will satisfy the junk (and food) lover within. These ain’t no Gilles Street fashionista markets — Gepps Cross Markets are full of dirt cheap fresh produce and weird old crap. I would estimate the fruit and veg is on average half the price of that in supermarkets. In particular look out for watermelon, herbs, seafood (mussels and crabs), and some of the more unusual produce sold by the migrant stallholders. The junk has the vibe of a giant garage sale. There is some new stuff, but there is a lot of awesome old junk. Think sequin covered Justin Bieber hats, trestle tables falling over full of old board games, novelty children’s water bottles and even mobile phone plans. This is an outdoor market, so give the weather a check before you head out. Bring lots of change too. It’s a $ 1.50 entry, and like most markets, everyone trades in cash. Wake up early for the best bargains.
If you have stuff of your own to sell, turn up early in the morning (5 or 6am) and bring a boot-​load. It ranges from $ 25 for a normal cat boot full up to $ 50 for a large truck.
