Several years ago I was a vendor at Bothwell for 2 years running and sold a lot of stuff. It is in August and if the weather is nice - it is huge........made almost a $1000 each weekend.
Lotsa buyers and I even bought some stuff cheap and then resold it at my table.
Not as big as Barrie but imo, a much better show and market.......great all around venue.

Yard sale, KiJiJi, ... both great ideas. Try here also.
I'd sell as much of it as you can at home, so you don't have to truck it to a swap meet.

Are the same vendors from Barrie (from the 70's and 80's) still vending?

NOPE!!! last sprg. was the their 1st. one at Lindsay, didn't see much "crap" there, & 90% automotive , [guess some "slipped" in with other stuff] vendors priced "most" of their parts to SELL!!! Tons of "FREE" parking & big car coral + show area. They had a few 'glitches" but all minor from what I heard. Hopefully they will have a map lay out this yr. Only the vendors got them last yr. & it was a "little' confusing on the ground lay out!!!

Only automotive flea market's I currently go to now is:
- Bothwell
- Talbotville (between Lambeth & St. Thomas)
40 years ago, use to love going to fall Barrie and often the spring one too.
That all changed 20 years ago, when the non-automotive crowd (candies & dolls) started to ruin it.
That and too many vendors just bringing out only their "junk" and haven't been back since.
Also back in the old days, use to like attending Waterdown, ON.

As of this year there is no more Talbotville swap meet that portion is now City of London. We need a couple new ones now that Tillsonburg and Talbotville are gone!
