"Flea Market" isn't just a noun. In the trailer park it's a verb too.
This is a typical weekend conversation at most parks...
"Whatcha doing today, Verna?"
"Not sure. Might go flea marketing."
"Oh, I love to flea market. Mind if I tag along?"
"Come on. Last time I flea marketed I was by myself. It's more fun with company."
"Ain't that the truth?"
Trailer park dwellers love the idea of buying something for much less than it's worth. There's also something about the hunt for those rare finds.
Whether it's a replacement for that lost cup in your Quaker Oatmeal set, a pair of false glitter eyelashes with matching nail polish, or a vintage Lynyrd Skynyrd T-shirt --we love it all.
But you should be careful. It's very easy to get carried away and buy something you know you shouldn't.
It's such a good buy! Yes...you know you should at least check to see if that computer will even power up, but there's no electrical outlet, it's only $50.00, and it comes with all those cool black floppies.
It can be incredibly difficult to turn down such amazing offers.
But with experience, you learn to barter the price down to $30.00, and even get the guy to throw in a few Intellivision games for free. And that's really great, since he's selling the system for a paltry $40.00.
All it needs is the power plug.
