HAHAHAHA where do I begin? Although this flea market has a…read moreton of booths AND is FREE (no admission fee required), the folks selling are rude, horrible, and always seem to have a terrible day. Selling at the flea market should be fun! Prices are what you'll get for NEW in the store. No seller wants to negotiate (and further adds comments such as "I don't want to sell you, you can leave now" or adds excuses such as "it's harder to crochet small animals") even when the market is about to close. I am trying really hard to support... For example, someone in my party wanted toothbrushes. The individual selling the toothbrush placed a price tag higher than what you'll purchase in store NEW (and let's be honest, less likely to be stolen in the stores). The person in my party was willing to do a bundle deal for a mild discount (such as if one was $3, my person was willing to do 2 for $5). The seller legit says "you can leave now, I don't want to sell to you." WTF. Customer population: Mainly Hispanics Seller population: Mainly Hispanics Parking is free. Flea market is in the B zone.

Called this place, man (Roberto or Jesus maybe some other man?) answered, hello. That's it. I ask,…read morewho is this? He replies, who is this... you called me! I said, I'm calling a thrift store and I don't know if this is who you are. He reply Yes. I said as a business you should say hello this the thrift shop to confirm to people you are a business. He replies, you called me! Rude; after I just explained why he needs to act like a professional and reference the business. I tell him I'm not from Hayward and willing to drive there if you would do a quick look to see if you have any CD players and cassette players for a stereo system, not a boom box. He said he thinks he has some. I explain I am willing to drive if he has some, but don't want to if he doesn't. He say, yes I think we have some. I ask will you please confirm and take a look. He says, I'm pretty sure we have them. I ask how much are they. He says they'er not much. I ask again, would you please check and let me know how much. I see these in other thrift shops for $15-20 dollars. He says his aren't that cheap. I ask how much are yours. He replies more that that. I said that doesn't help me. For Pete's sake, you are not working with me at all on anything I ask. You don't let people know your a business when you answer the phone and argue with them about I called you etc. He is not willing to walk over to physically see if he has a cd or cassette player and not willing to tell me how much he charges. I push him again for a price. He says the CD player and cassette players are over $80 each. I say, that's why I'm asking. I don't want to pay that much. He says his have been gone over and work. I said that doesn't matter to me. What ever shop I buy from, they will take it back if it doesn't work, even at $15. He says I knew you didn't want to spend any money that's why I didn't tell you. I said when someone asks for a price, simply tell them. Don't make drama out of it, that's insulting. Then he hangs up on me. Ask yourself, do you want to be treated this way? Shame on him. He wanted to argue with me about everything. I called him back, of course he didn't take the call. I left him a messaging saying he just earned a negative one star on yelp. You brought it on with you bad attitude. I don' know what position Roberto or Jesus or smoother man? has (answering machine message says she is his daughter leaving the recording. I'm assume it's his business.) It's been along time since I've run into a rude business owner. I've only left one other Yelp review and it was 5 starts. Sorry Roberto, you deserve this review to be read by others.

Individuals kept wondering if the flea market will ever be back... And it did come back! EVERY 2nd/SECOND SATURDAY OF EVERY MONTH, March to November, 9am to 2pm And now FREE PARKING! It used to be $2 to park! I gave it the rating I did because/ 1. Since the re-opening, I never purchased a single thing 2. Vendors are all pretty much the same (and it's hilarious some of the faces are familiar and seen at estate sale hunts) 3. Love how they attempt a theme and have added old school cars to the mix! 4. The vendors are not the nicest... they don't budge and are not willing to negotiate (I mean that's the fun of flea markets!) 5. Kind of pricey. Pretty much all antique and used items. A couple of vendors sell new but very "made in China" items 6. Products are often repeated aka the same 7. It's not huge... you could probably walk the entire thing in less than 30 minutes Would I come back? I just love estate sales, rummage sales, flea markets, etc. It's great to walk around especially when you don't have the mindset of "must have to buy"

We came during winter and it was very quiet and small. I don't know if it's always timed like this…read morebut there is a car meetup in the parking lot next to it that the kids enjoyed going to. For summer break we decided to start the day here and find lunch close by. It was much larger and busier than it was in Winter. The great thing is free parking and free admission, the walk from parking to the fleamarket is very close. If you want to sell here the pricing per spot is low and you can pull in easily with your car. I believe each spot is $20 and this fleamarket happens the 2nd Saturday of every month. They do a good job of attracting vendors with that sell newer items in bulk, more classic garage style bring your old junk, plants, antiques, and some food trucks. The coolest thing we did was probably the train ride that goes through the fleamarket and car show. The car show area did smell like something peope like to smoke though :) It does get hot later in the day in Summer so best to come early. We ended up leaving with some nice snacks and old books for the kids.

I wear layered clothing or leggings and a slim fitting top. The store is well organized and sections are clearly marked. As with many thrift stores there are different colors marked down every day please listen for the announcements or check the board. I would recommend grabbing a cart because last time I went I found quite a bit and was carrying around my treasures. As with thrifting you never know what you are going to discover. The last time I went I came out with two fantastic finds one a H&M black cotton dress suitable for work wear and take you straight into evening or happy hour. The ruffle tiered dress I admit I paid more than I wanted to but Google came to the rescue and I saw several original retail prices and I found it over $ 100.00 brand new so I decided to splurge and purchase the dress. Service I can't comment on because I usually don't ask for help and there is self checkout available. But I don't know if my last encounter with customer service I should be flattered or insulted. I was checking out my items and the lady that was working at the front thought I was stealing my OWN jacket that I came in wearing! I said this jacket is mine check the cameras I was wearing it when I came in here! All in all a great thrift store but give yourself time because there is so much to look at. I find if I give myself time I find more treasures rather than just rushing through. Also, keep your finds close at hand with the case of the orange ruffle dress after people saw me put it on they were asking if I was going to purchase it while I was trying it on! There were people definitely waiting for me to put it down. Good Luck and Happy thrifting

Even knowing this it felt like I should have worn a thicker jacket. The kids and wife were freezing and we had to get them used sweaters and a blanket from vendors on site. It's a curated selection of antiques, vintage good, and clothes so it will be more expensive than traditional flea markets. They have foods on site on the right side with normal items like coffee and breakfast burritos all the way to ube waffles and fried chicken. There are some treasures here if you are willing to go digging: -Near the front was a lady that had preserved bugs that were mounted in nice displays or frozen forever in blocks of acrylic. These are locally made and some of the species I haven't seen before preserved and available for purchase. -Seaglass and antique glass merchants. Saw two of these guys and liked the odd rainbow patina for glass that has spent decades in ocean water. -Japanese wood medicine boxes, these were decorated with old stickers and looked so good for storing items. They were 40-70 each and were priced well below market value.

It was my first time coming to this antiques fair/flea market, though I've certainly heard a lot…read moreabout it. An annual tradition in Niles Fremont, this event promises unique vendors and historical vibes for a day of shopping, strolling, and browsing some of Fremont's oldest shops. I was disappointed that most of the goods being sold weren't actually antiques or even solid thrift finds. There were some standouts, such as vintage race jackets and personalized licensed plates from way back when, but for the most part I wasn't too impressed with the inventory. I ended up purchasing 2 cute pins for friends but they were probably things I could have bought elsewhere too. Parking was also a bit of a nightmare, though we had been warned well ahead of time that there wasn't a lot of it. Even though we got there early (7 am) we still had trouble finding a spot. Some storefronts (residents?) were charging up to $20 to park in a small cramped lot. I get that space is scarce for an event like this, but more signage and regulation would have helped. Thank goodness we had gotten there early. Overall, I'm glad I experienced this antique fair once, but as a longtime thrifter looking for something a little more special, probably won't be coming back soon.

Since this town, and Niles Street in particular, is already lined with numerous antique shops, it didn't make much of a difference with merchants selling just a handful of vintage items from these outdoor tents. In fact, there were a plethora of yard sales taking place all around the neighborhood, some which had better stuff than the actual antique faire. We saw about 3-4 food/drink stands selling mexican food, hot dogs, kettle corn, and more. Not a whole lot of options and nothing really noteworthy. We did end up having giant sausages from the Giant Badass Sausage tent for lunch. It was juicy and definitely filling, and we were able to picnic on the grass at Niles Town Plaza. Parking for this event sucks! So many closed roads, with the organizers not even giving a hint to visitors as to parking options. In the neighborhood, people were selling spaces for $10-25 just to park. Along with slow moving traffic and cramped streets, it was not a fun experience. Even with a few cool items here and there, overall, this outdoor market was a disappointment. I probably wouldn't return, not worth it. I recommend just visiting the town of Niles and its antique stores on a regular day.
