- betty lBrampton, Canada10,583 contributionsGet Good Bargains With VendorsThis is my 6th visit to this market since 2018 when I first visited it. After several visits I now learn how to navigate the different stores and where to find the real bargains. I found out that the cheapest vendors(provided you know how to haggle prices) are those who are outside the stalls and who bring their goods on their trucks and cars.These vendors dont have permanent stalls in the market so they can bring the prices down. I was able to get a vintage table for $8 which I was able to bargain down to this price.It takes several visits to get to know the going rates of items sold here. Remember to try to get a bargain by asking for the best price the seller is willing to give youVisited June 2020Written September 1, 2020

- Glen W2 contributionsWent for a deal came home with a prize.Excellent well organized Market that you can spend a whole day looking. Some great finds and keepsakes at reasonable prices. I still noticed allot of safety equipment from the Covid days. Automatic towel dispensers, Purell hand sanitizer's and many area's the vendors still had plexiglass shield at the counters. I also seen allot of handicap improvements and easy access if you need that accommodation.Visited October 2022Travelled as a coupleWritten April 17, 2023

The owner Doug Lane of this establishment is a bully when it comes to persons with non-visible disabilities. I have witnessed his unaccommodating behaviour first hand when it came to persons who had mental health conditions - particularly PTSD and Bi-Polar Disorder. He actually banned the person for life. If someone owns & operates a commercial establishment in Ontario they should become familiar with the basic human rights and freedoms of persons with disabilities as well as following the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act. No modifications have been made for an accessible play area for children and he's failed in other capacities. His entrance fee of $5 is exorbitant. There are fire issues and safety issues throughout the grounds. The ATM on site charges a $3 fee on top of any money you're withdrawing from your bank.

The $5.00 entrance fee is ridiculous and not worth it for the relatively small size of the market . There are better and bigger markets in Canada and in the States that charge way less or are free . This has to be the most expensive flea market in North America . Don't waste your money , it is not worth it .

We used to come here almost every Sunday since the price of the entrances fee increased to $5.00 from $2.00 I don’t think we will be attending as much anymore ...there is nothing new is the same inside price of entrance is to much maybe an increase of $3.00 per person but $5.00 that’s ridiculous and $7.00 for a sausage inside🙄

Did not go at all last year due to the $5 entry fee. Decided to go last weekend and to be honest it really wasnt worth it.
Wont be back and I am aware of several other collectors who did not go last year and have no plans to go this year.

We try to visit this antique market once a year. Sometimes we buy something, other times we don't. I like just looking at what is for sale, and thinking we have enough things in our basement to host our own sale. Admission went up to $5 this year, but that was fine because it was only $2 for as long as we have been visiting. Looking forward for the antique market to open again in 2022

A little disappointed right from the start. They have increased their price just to get in from $2 a person to $5 a person. A money grab. To me they make enough off the hundreds of vendors who in turn make money off the entrants.
It hasn't changed mush once you get in.
We left without buying anything.

My poor rating is with regard to the ridiculous price hike on admission.
From $2 to $5 a person is both greedy, unreasonable and will deter my attending this market greatly.
Nothing new is being offered so I do not understand this move, surely the public are what drives this place and if I were a vendor I'd be considering alternatives.
