flea-market
Outdoor bargain venue
A flea market is an outdoor or informal market where vendors sell secondhand goods, antiques, crafts, and miscellaneous items at low prices.
The atmosphere is casual—shoppers browse tables and booths looking for bargains or curiosities: We found an old record player at the flea market.
