antique markets
Old goods fairs
Antique markets are venues where dealers gather to sell old furniture, collectibles, and vintage goods.
They range from permanent indoor halls to periodic outdoor fairs: We spent Sunday morning browsing the antique market.
The atmosphere tends toward casual haggling rather than the formality of auction houses.
Flea markets overlap but typically include more miscellaneous secondhand items.
