Theres plenty of farmers markets and such, but really no good options for flea markets. This old 290 market is the best they have within the actual Austin area.

It's self-sufficient and no frills if you would like to walk around on a weekend.

For entertainment you can talk the seller down on their price. Don't set your expectations so high, you're going to a "flea market!" And you are literally getting what you paid for. If you want to go for a walk with a beer in hand and experience all of the above stop by. You might even find something of value (to you). I bought a Ted Williams metal sign for $10 bucks, they're on eBay for $50. Some of the reviews make this place sound like you need to stay away, give it a shot and don't set the bar too high for saying...that wasn't as bad as the reviews. I forgot to mention the food. We got a couple of tacos, really good and fresh. Enjoy!

The bad part is about 30% of the shops were closed inside. And the outside tables were super dusty from all the dirt. That's the main issue- the parking lot, which is a loose dirt field, kicks up soooo much dust from the cars, that it just flies around. There was a coffee food truck on site, which always cheers me up. But it's just too much dirt to walk around in.

But at mid-afternoon, there were only a handful of vendors - most probably were taking care of their own shopping instead of setting up shop. It felt like a weird trip. If this market is ever fully occupied, it would be quite bustling and full of local flavor. Even on my aberrant visit, I saw a lot of live sheep and goat for sale. If you've ever wanted to buy a live goat, this place might be worth checking out. They've got Boer (meat) and Nubian (dairy) goats. Adults weighing about 175 pounds were quoted to me for $200, while a kid of about 60 pounds went for $100. One of the sellers offered to butcher anything I bought for $25 - his English was limited, so I'm not sure what services would be included. There were also some chickens and other birds. A boot vendor, a fruit guy, and the usual crap vendors. Too bad the food trailers were not in operation. No admission fee and free parking, so it might be worth a visit if you're in the hood. Booth rentals seem to be around $20 for 1 day and $30 for the weekend.

This certainly isn't a "flea" market because there is beautiful furniture in here--many in individual consignment booths; others have permanent set ups. They also conduct auctions, one regular one is the first Thursday of every month; and from time to time, they conduct specialty auctions selling jewelry and other collectibles. They have specific estate auctions too.

I get the impression that the number of vendors varies quite a bit over time but when I showed up at the end of September there was a good crowd of people with plenty of well stocked vendors. Everyone was really friendly and if you are looking for people that know about bikes you don't need to go any further; everyone was willing to share what they knew.

What a cool 'hidden find' in the Leander area!…read more It's a bit of a misnomer to call this a 'flea market', but that's a minor point to quibble over. Rather, this is a collection of rather eclectic shops selling mostly used or refurbished items. These range from vintage glass and antique furniture all the way to collectible baseball cards. Everyone I spoke to at one of the stores was friendly and sometimes willing to negotiate a price on an item. I look askance at some of the reviews which claim 'I didn't get a deal'. You have access to the internet, after all. Even on your smart phone. You should be able to find out if the vintage item you're looking for hasn't been cheaply reproduced at Hobby Lobby, Cost Plus or Michael's. The facility still seems to be in development, so a couple notes for folks who may visit close to when I did, in September 2017. 1) The parking lot is a very rough gravel one. Drive slowly and walk carefully, there are ankle-turning rocks here if you wear heels. 2) One of the vendors was having serious issues taking credit cards, so having cash on hand might be a good idea. 3) If you check in on Yelp, there's a free drink offer available at the food trailer. However, there's no food trailer yet - just a well-run inside snack bar. They were kind enough to honor the offer for me, but do them a favor and wait until they get a vendor in before trying to use the coupon. In sum, a definite place to visit if the antique hunting bug strikes!

IBP is located in East Austin, housed inside of a church (although IBP is NOT a religiously affiliated organization). They have a huge library built on donations from the community. Every Thursday and Sunday evening, volunteers come to read letters from people incarcerated all over Texas, match them with books, and write handwritten letters back to them. It's truly such a wonderful initiative. People who are incarcerated have the opportunity to request books every 2-3 months and get books sent to them completely free of charge. IBP received around 1500 letters requesting books per month, which is so incredible. If you are someone who enjoys volunteering, this is the place for you! If you don't have the time to volunteer, consider donating to IBP!
