Douglas Flea Market

Totally upset and angry. I checked the website on Friday night and saw that they were open every weekend year round. It sounded good and we needed a fun day out and I love searching for old quilts that I can repair. We drove 45 minutes and as soon as we arrived I had doubts as the parking lot was almost empty. As I walked toward the door, and saw a hand written Sorry we’re closed sign, I asked the man about it. It seems they decided «just an hour ago» to get the snow cleaned off the roof. Odd since they should have been opened at 9 and it was now noon. And the roof is pretty slanted. And you would think they had noticed snow a lot sooner. We’ve had decent weather this week when it could have been done on the days they’re closed. And even now at 5:30 PM they still have nothing on their website about being closed today. I don’t know if they’ll be open tomorrow. It doesn’t matter because I seriously doubt that I would bother again.

Mostly junk but there were a few nice quality and nicely priced pieces of furniture upstairs. Worth a visit if you live nearby, but not worth a long drive out. We came we saw we conquered in about a half hour.

I’ve been here twice now. Its a cool place. Some things are a little over priced but most of the dealers will negotiate their prices. Everyone was really friendly. Got a great deal on some jewelry and pandora beads and a beautiful Fire King Bowl. ot a great 100 year old gallon crock for $ 28! The guy was really helpful and friendly. They have a tent set up with tons of stuff in it. The guy in the tent was nice and told me if I bought 5 items I could get 5 free. So of course I did. all in all I spent $ 80.00 and got a 12 items 2 for me and 10 for Christmas gifts :) plus the 5 free things that I totally didn’t need. There is also a little shop next to the main barn and I Eyed some nice furniture for the next trip.

This place is great! I spent three hours looking ! It’s Like a stroll down memory lane. Flea market is the wrong name for this place. It’s really a multiple dealer vintage and antique shop. Some newer stuff too. I bought some beautiful vintage glassware and an antique desk. I will definitely go back again.

After encountering several targeted fake listings in craigslist (i.e. I searched for beer steins, clicked on a listing advertising beer steins, and it turned out to be an add for the Douglas Flea Market) I decided to relent and check this place out.
I am a big fan of multi-​dealer antique co-​ops and seeing as the postings on craigslist seemed to advertise the overall greatness of this indoor market, I figured it was worth exploring.
Well, after an hour drive out there and an hour drive home, I cannot comment on what is inside, how the deals were, what kind of customer service they provide or anything. I drove all the way out from Boston to find out that they were closed. And even though their hours of operation are clearly printed on their sign out front (Saturday and Sunday only) there were no hours printed anywhere in any of the five misleading craigslist postings they were using to draw me into their store.
So in retrospect, I am the fool because I thought noon on a Wednesday is a perfectly reasonable time to expect an antique mall to be open, but shame on these people for abusing craigslist, and for not advertising their hours when doing so. You wasted my time and have lost a customer for good.
