Melissa, we're talking about big events this week and what's ... what are some big events that you really enjoy?
I like doing community events. I'm trying to get more involved in community events. There's a flea market this weekend.
A flea market?
Yes.
Oh, yeah.
At the beachside, and there's going to be lots of different eco-friendly stuff going on there
so it's kind of a mix of a reuse, resell your old stuff. Get new stuff for cheap.
OK, so for people who might not be familiar with the term flea market, can you explain?
A flea market is basically a place where people can take old clothes, old utensils, forks, spoons, knives, things like that from the kitchen
and other housewares and either sell them or give them away at a cheap price
and it's fun because the customers ... a lot of them like to come and look at all the different stuff and even maybe haggle some prices
so try to get you to get you to get a lower price, or if you're trying to get rid of a lot of stuff
you might try to get the customer to take two things for the price of one. Things like that.
Yeah, right. Like when I was a kid I used to always go to flea marts, or flea markets with my grandparents
and I thought what was great is that you can haggle.
Yeah.
Right? Cause in the U.S. you can't haggle at a store.
Yeah, exactly.
And I like doing that when I'm travelling ... haggling. Trying to get a good deal
so it's fun to do it at a flea market when your selling your own stuff.
So, this weekend, are you selling or buying?
Well, I actually don't have that much stuff to sell because I've recently moved so I've got rid of a lot of stuff I don't need
but I do plan bring some old pieces of clothing and things like that that I want to get rid of,
and yeah, I'm really into flea markets and old thrift stores and stuff like that
so I just like to see what people have. If there's something cool, I might buy it.
