It's okay to look, but everything else about it sucks. Maybe because I am a tourist, but they were not willing to negotiate on prices. This wasn't like a "Oh it's €5,-? I'm only willing to pay €0,50". These were ridiculously expensive all around.
Whenever you tried to negotiate, they would insist the price was right because "It's vintage, it's old." Yeah, I know what a flea market is for. But because it's old and secondhand, it's (supposed to be) cheap. Of course, I get that rare pieces can get pricier, but these weren't rare items.
As seen in the photos, simple teacups were €18,- a pop, not for a set or a deal. €45,- for a doorknob. The fourth picture, wanna guess? The ceramic water jug was €220,-. And again, if that jug was a rare find, I'd get. But EVERYTHING is priced like that. The table set (picture five) was €700,-. And this lady was selling vintage prints and postcards. One (1) postcard was €10,-.
I did meet one kind, old Scotish man who had reasonable prices. Also no negotiating, but I bought this lovely medium-sized print (including the frame) for €10,-. I went past like 80% of the stores and only found two that were reasonably (albeit still a bit expensive) priced. Might sound great till you remember that this is the largest flea market in Europe.
Do visit if you have €1000,- and up to burn though :).
