Spent day at a flea market. Like most other things here, a super-sized one. It’s amazing how many people drive over 100 miles to visit a flea market.
It was good old-fashioned commerce on a bright, sunny Saturday. There was negotiation, bargains to be had and deals to be made. On everything from trinkets to electronics to Playstation games.
Like in any good market, we fought with one vendor who tried to con us, got thrilled with another who gave us a five dollar trinket free and generally had a good time spending money. One of the definitions of commerce is a transaction where both the buyer and seller walk away feeling they got a good deal. By that definition, yesterday’s flea market was a roaring success.
Now we are off to experience yet another avatar of capitalism. The casinos of Atlantic City.
