Hell's Kitchen Flea Market - the Moleskincity.com review

The contributer named Mel on the Moleskincity.com site for New York City recently offered some advice about Hell's Kitchen Flea Market:

There are definitely great bargains to be had at the Hell’s Kitchen Flea Market, but you are going to have to work for them. Here are a few tips that worked for me: Don’t sleep in; these vendors love to pack up by 4:30pm. Check the forecast; the best deals are found during lousy weather, when the sellers are feeling especially desperate. Also note that the more things you buy from the same vendor, the less you’ll end up paying for each item. Be sure to bargain; it is not like Chinatown but you can still make them an offer. This collection of vendors have all your typical flea market commodities: books, broaches...and vintage clothing plus the more random Victorian couches and tables, tea sets, and a decent collection of taxidermy. The Flea Market is held every Saturday and Sunday from 9am-6pm on 39th between 9th and 10th.
