Need your help on flea markets around Gulfport MS.

[seger98]

I was hoping that a few on here might be able to help me, I am looking on information on flea markets in or around Gulfport, Biloxi, And as far north as Hattiesburg..

The wife & I are fulltime RV'ers and we set-up at flea markets in northern WI in the summer & are looking for markets in the fall, winter & spring months in MS. This last winter we spent it out in AZ & it's not for us out there.

Please give as much info as possible & even a phone number to call for a contact person that runs the flea market, thanks for looking & for your help, Chris & Kathy

I suggest that you contact the Chambers of Commerce in all of the towns you're interested in. Flea Markets, especially large, annual ones are positives for tourists attractions. As far as established, locations for weekend markets ( every weekend ) the CCs would definitely know. Another idea would be to contact the casinos in and around Gulfport and Biloxi and ask their Customer Relations people if there are any parking lot flea markets planned for the season. Those would have to be planned far in advance and they'd know the schedule up front. Good luck.

Thank you, I will look into those things, any others have anymore ideas?

One more thing about those Casinos. When I was a full time truck driver, I made several trips to and through Las Vegas and Reno, Nevada and there would be other drivers and "civilians" selling stuff out of their cars and trucks at ridiculously low prices because they'd lost all of their money gambling. It's like taking advantage of some seriously foolish people, so each person would have to decide for themselves whether or not to buy.

I mention this because Flea Marketing is a buy low / sell high sort of business. Maybe full time Marketers would be interested in such sources.
