    Default Flea Markets in NYC

    I live in Queens and I go to the city all the time, for Uni, for whatever. Just wondering if there are any markets around for games... I highly doubt it because of the setting and such.

    I know on Long Island there are some but they are usually garage sales and such.

    Aqueduct Fleamarket at the Racetrack. It might be closed up by now though. You might have to wait till next year.

    If I were you Tbowl i wouldnt go to the Aqueduct Fleamarket because all they sell is bootleg clothing and dvds so if you really want to find a flea market you'll have to look around
    woodhaven blvd during the summer other than that theres flea markets that I know about but im not gonna tell anybody because i'll have competition if i do.

    i used to live in Brooklyn Heights and there were tag sales there offten

    but i never stoped to look what they were selling but i did see electronics often times and a saturn once (walking by )

    this was 6 years ago

    im mentioning that becasue its a well to do area and people ususly had nice stuff they were getting rid of and the area had alot of kids when i was there so there must be games floating around at some of those sales

    Try some of the local papers classifieds. Also if you are in the city all the time get some of the free local papers they have flea market info a plenty.

    It is getting late in the season for street markets though. If you walk around on the weekends you can still catch some downtown.

    As far as aqueduct there are a lot of sellers that follow "guide prices" like they were the bible.

    You can even check classifieds for garage sales and the like. Sometimes they actually mention video games. If so get there when they open or forget going.

    It's pretty late for the fleas this year, but yeah, there are a few. I haven't had much luck in the city with video game finds, though, in the three years I've been there. Good luck, though!
