The "Flea Market" is capitalism mixed with craziness. Starring amazing old stuff, great salespeople, the ancient tradition of the open-air market, and the possibility of bargains, the flea market unites shoppers across the nation.
This documentary is a celebration of unusual and diverse peoples with a common passion and enticing things to be found in parking lots, fairgrounds, drive-ins, on sidewalks, and wherever a sign says "Flea Market."
