Flea market
A flea market (or swap meet) is a type of bazaar that rents space to people who want to sell or barter merchandise. Used goods, low quality items, and high quality items such as collectibles and antiques are commonly sold. Many markets offer fresh produce or baked goods, plants from local farms and vintage clothes. Renters of the flea market tables are called vendors. It may be indoors, as in a warehouse or school gymnasium; or outdoors, as in a field or parking lot or under a tent. Flea markets can be held annually or semiannually, others may be conducted monthly, on weekends, or daily. Flea-market vendors may range from a family that is renting a table for the first time to sell a few unwanted household items, to scouts who rove the region buying items for sale from garage sales and other flea markets, and several staff watching the stalls.
Flea market vending is distinguished from street vending in that the market itself, and not any other public attraction, brings in buyers. Many flea markets have food vendors who sell snacks and drinks to the patrons. Some flea market vendors have been targeted by law enforcement efforts to halt the sale of bootleg movies and music or knockoff brand clothing, accessories, or fragrances.
==Regional names==
Different English-speaking countries use various names for flea markets. In Australian English, they are also called 'trash and treasure markets'. In Philippine English, the word is ''tianggê'' from the Nahuatl ''tianguis'' via Mexican Spanish (despite common misconception, it is not derived from Hokkien), supplanting the indigenous term ''talipapâ''. In India it is known as ''gurjari'' or ''shrukawadi bazaar'' or even as ''juna bazaar''. . In the United Kingdom they are known as "car boot sales" if the event takes place in a field or car park, as the vendors will sell goods from the 'boot' (called "trunk" in American English) of their car. If the event is held indoors, such as a school or church hall, then it is usually known as either a "jumble sale", or a "bring and buy sale". In Quebec and France, they are often called "''Marché aux puces''", while in French-speaking areas of Belgium, the name ''Brocante'' or ''vide-grenier'' is normally used. In Switzerland the Swiss German language term ''Flomärt'', for example for the well-known Bürkliplatz-Flomärt is used, being a variation of the Allemanic word of ''Flohmarkt'', meaning literally "flea market". In the predominantly Cuban/Hispanic areas of South Florida, they are called "() pulgero", (() flea store) from the Spanish word for fleas, "pulga".
