Trader's Village Is A Bunch Of Junk


Recommended Posts

I went to Trader's Villlage for the first time yesterday. I was expecting to find original hand-made items, antiques, neat stuff, etc. and there were some of those things plus some cute little pets, but about 80% of it was pure junk! Looked like a big 99 cent store. Lots of cheap T-shirts adorned with Scarface, marijuana leaves, guns, $$$ and other assorted thug crap. :rolleyes: What a disappointment and waste of time.

Since I don't frequent flea markets, maybe I should have expected this. I know I won't be going back. I can't believe that place is featured in Houston's visitors' guides.

"You gotta see it, you won't believe it..." Ha!

Junk!

good shoppers know how to pass the scarface/marijuana tees. ;) it's all about finding the deal.

You should have seen the huge Scarface paintings in those big gaudy, golden frames.

What is with infatuation with Scarface. I see 12-year-old kids wearing Scarface T-shirts. Why would their parents allow that? Besides, isn't that trend old by now?

I e-mailed Trader's Village and told them what I thought.

I've always go to Traders Village "the world's largest outdoor flea market." Traders Village have some very neat items there. I even found things that the mall sells right there at traders village, with a cheaper price value.

You on the other hand wasn't looking in the right places. It's all about a bargin. Remember, traders village is huge! So, it's alot you will miss in one day. Every weekend the place is packed! I mean, PACKED! They have live bands, sometimes crawfish boil, cookouts, etc. It's a great place to take the family, relatives, or friends coming down to Houston.

I love Trader's Village! It's pure entertainment if you're a people watcher, holy crap are people ODD there. There are great deals to be had, but like a garage sale, you have to wallow in the muck a bit to find some treasure.
