“The Shampoo Guy”

   In his 4th year at Swick’s Flea Market and Auction, “The Shampoo Guy” continues to bring necessary products to customers at great prices. His booth is open year-round, every Saturday from 9am-4pm unless there is ice or snow. His booth specializes in personal care items. He carries shampoo obviously, as well as diapers, other hygiene products for men and women, and home care items like dishwashing and clothing detergent. The stock rotates from week to week. In this booth, this merchandise is half to one-third of the price you’d pay in the store. These are popular brands and products, available to Swick’s customers for ridiculously low prices. Why overpay in the store? Come to The Shampoo Guy instead! He says about Swick’s:

“It’s the nicest flea market you’ll find as far as attitude. It is very family oriented, and a very nice environment. With Bell’s, the kids can ride and you can shop.”

See what he means by stopping at his booth this weekend.

Emily’s Booth

Emily has been at Swick’s Flea Market & Auction for five years, and in that time, she has developed a great selection of products at even better prices.

Emily has a lot of merchandise, and she can afford to because she also has a lot of space. She is set up outside, just beyond the auction building in booths 47 & 48, but these two units are just the tip of the iceberg of what she has to offer. They overflow in the front and back with rows of additional merchandise.

In Emily’s booth, you will find little bit of everything. The first unit is filled from floor to ceiling with beautiful antiques and one-of-a-kind items, including glassware, dishes, pictures, paintings, toys, and more. These nostalgic pieces would be great for decorating a home. And the best part, they are more affordable than your nearest antique or thrift shop.

In the second unit, there was a wide variety of practical items, everything from movies and old electronic equipment to games to bright dish-ware. Additionally, behind this unit there is a wide assortment of clothing. These clothes are good quality and at an incredible value, with all garments sold 2-for-$,1 and the shoes just $1 per pair.

“I have everything you could need, at a good price. I can sell it cheaply because I have so much.”

In the extra rows of merchandise in front of her units, one can find toys, baskets, hardware and tools, furniture, decorations, and a wide range of other products. The bottom line is, Emily has what you are looking for. Her booth caters to men, women, adults, and children. See for yourself this Saturday at Swick’s Flea Market!

T-Town Treasures by Marianne

Marianne has been at Swick’s flea market for almost ten years, and what you should know about her booth is: It smells amazing.

She primarily sells fragrance warmers and homemade tarts to go with them. These tarts are guaranteed to last longer than any other brand, and come in a variety of fragrances. In fact, she has over 100 different scents! Japanese Cherry Blossom and Cranberry Marmalade are her best sellers, and great gifts for the holidays, but there are many other flower, bakery, and perfume scents. They will last weeks, depending on how often you use your warmer.

There is a club for Marianne’s customers, with about 600 members. As new customers, when they buy 10 fragrances, they get one free. They then become part of the 11/12 club, when they buy 11 fragrances the 12th is free. Her lamps are unique because unlike many sold in stores, they are adjustable. They can be turned up to high to melt the fragrance, then turned to the low setting to maintain the aroma without wasting the tart. The lamp also has a nightlight mode, perfect for children’s rooms, and many are touch activated. Just one of Marianne’s fragrance warmers will fill an entire house with pleasing aroma.

         

You can buy two or three of Marianne’s lamp for the price of just one competitor’s lamp! They are incredibly affordable, with price options as low as $15-$25. She has a special sale this month with small-touch warmers on sale for only $10! There are also lamp styles and ceramic themed warmers so you can find a warmer that will fit the decor of any room. Another great feature of Marianne’s fragrance warmers is that they are all electric, there are no open flames or dangerous coils. This prevents the risk that most candles carry for starting fire, and makes them dorm room safe!

She is also an artist and sells hand painted tea pots and other kitchen accessories. She takes vintage pieces and uses them to make decoration for the home, and sells a wide assortment of greeting cards. All items in Marianne’s booth are great gifts!

         

Head over to Swick’s Flea Market and Auction and get a whiff of Marianne’s booth of treasures!

Lucky Booth 13

Carol and Pete have had an indoor booth at Swick’s Flea Market and Auction for six years. Carol is a retired art teacher, which inspires the fun and refreshingly out-of-the-ordinary atmosphere of Lucky Booth number 13.

The main focus of Carol and Pete’s booth is jewelry, including bracelets, rings, necklaces, and more. Carol said, “Pete has been giving me turquoise since we met and that’s how it all started.” She knows what she likes, and the pieces in Booth 13 are beautiful. Jewelry is priced very reasonably and competitively, because Carol and Pete have made an art out of reclaiming forgotten or broken items from pawn shops,markets and estate sales, and restoring them to their former beauty. Many of the items are also purchased from Native American reservations in New Mexico. The couple loves New Mexico and fondly recalls the Georgia O’Keeffe museum in Santa Fe as one of their early inspirations.

      

In addition to selling jewelry, Carol also buys and trades turquoise and other jewelry items. She told me that she has been successful simply from buying items that she likes, and she is always happy to see new items! Lucky Booth 13 also offers a unique customer service: layaway. Because Carol loves her merchandise, she does everything she can to work with customers and help get her products into the hands of others who love it.

        

In addition to jewelry, Carol and Pete sell original artwork (paintings and sculptures), Native American items, handmade items, bones, and other miscellaneous treasures. A few of her sculptures can be seen pictured above. Carol and Pete are not Native American, but are moved and inspired by the Native culture and it thus inspires much of their art and merchandise. Check out this unique booth for yourself, and pick up a beautiful piece of turquoise jewelry, every Saturday at Swick’s!

             

 

Keyless Remotes (Booth 26)

Jason has been offering a great product at Swick’s Flea Market and Auction for 11 years. His booth is the first on your left as you enter the main building.

Jason sells factory OEM and aftermarket keyless car remotes. These are the devices that lock and unlock your car, sound your alarm, or pop open your trunk from a distance, and they are a hot commodity as winter approaches and the walk from house to car seems infinitely longer. Jason offers replacements for keyless remotes that have been lost or stolen, or additions for those who have never experienced the convenience of these devices.

In addition to the remotes themselves, he offers an assortment of cases and jackets for his product. These extras can be utilized for fashion, as they come in an assortment of fun colors and styles. They can also be used for protection, as the cases will protect the remote from breaking when keys are dropped (and if you’re like me, your keys are dropped often).

Though the keyless remotes are his main focus, Jason offers a variety of other automotive tools and supplies, including license plate covers, windshield wipers, gas cans and funnels, bungee cords, flashlights, jumper cables and more! He also has a substantial supply of Hotwheels and some racing accessories, such as Nascar hats. Don’t go to a bunch of different places for all your different automotive needs, you can meet all of these needs at Jason’s Keyless Remote Booth at Swick’s Flea Market.

                         

Bruno & Judy’s Booth

Bruno and Judy have had a booth inside at Swick’s Flea Market and Auction for three years. They stay at Swick’s because they love visiting with customers and catching up with other vendors each Saturday. They also love the flea market because there is a wide variety of merchandise available, both in individual booths and at the market as a whole, and great products in the weekly auction.

“If you haven’t come out to Swick’s, you need to come and take a look.”

         

In their booth, Bruno and Judy exemplify this wide range of items and friendly atmosphere. They offer new products every week, but specialize in household items such as furniture and various decorative pieces. These items are all high quality, beautiful, and offered at affordable or discounted prices.

Furniture and decor is not all that is available in Bruno and Judy’s booth. They also offer an assortment of toys, clothes, sports cards, pots, pans, dishes, and much more! Their collection of beautiful china dolls caught my eye especially, making me nostalgic for the dolls I treasured as a young girl. This booth is family friendly, offering something for someone of any age.

Brenda’s Boutique

Brenda’s Boutique has been at Swick’s Flea Market and Auction for five years. She says that she loves Swick’s due to its family atmosphere and the friendly customers and fellow vendors.

The best part about shopping at Brenda’s Boutique is the customer service experience that she provides. She listens to what you need, and in the rare case that it is not something she already has, she will locate the product and get it to her customer in a timely manner. She goes above and beyond because she loves her customers and loves Swick’s flea market.

Tammy has been at Swick’s Flea Market & Auction every Saturday from 9am-4pm for the past three years. She has a wide selection of Stainless, Titanium, and Tungsten jewelry, with rock or biker inspired designs, as well as mason rings. But even the incredibly wide selection of jewelry in T’s booth is not all, as she can special order specialty rings upon request.

Online, these quality products are generally sold for 50 dollars, but T gets them to her customers for half of this price, selling them at $25. She also sells affordable body jewelry that is high quality and in a variety of attractive designs.

In addition to jewelry, T also sells protective devices. She has a selection of stun guns, pepper spray, etc. Customers can get the tools they need to feel safe at T’s booth, and they can find these products at good prices.

The best part about shopping at T’s Jewelry is that she is knowledgable about both her product, and what her customers want. Thanks to her excellent service and the quality of her merchandise, customers leave her booth satisfied with their purchase. So why go anywhere else? Come to T’s!

Buddy and Carol’s

Buddy and Carol’s two booths have been popular attractions of Swick’s Flea Market & Auction for eight years now. When they first came to the Saturday Market with the idea of competitively pricing their goods, many for $1 or less, people thought they were crazy! Yet here they are, eight years later, with many happy and loyal customers. They even have a “Fill a Sack” promotion, in which customers can fill a bag as full as they like and pay just one dollar for the entirety.

Among many other items, and new merchandise each week, the booth has:

• Antiques
• Food items
• Dishes
• Bags
• Home decor
• Homemade furniture
• Movies
• Toys

Carol said, “We try to keep a variety and meet everyone’s needs.” They called their booth a One-Stop-Shop for people of all ages. Why waste time and gas to drive around to garage sales and thrift shops when everything you could need is available in one place at Swick’s Flea Market? And at their prices, Buddy and Carol certainly do meet, and exceed, customer expectations.
