Lions Club Flea Market - VRE Backlick Station

95% New and Knock off Shoes, clothes, bags, and everything else expensive. All Latino vendors. Unsure why this place exists.

This was a nice place to visit and pick up a lot of odds and ends.

Back in the 1980's I used to sell at this Lions Club Flea Market when it was located on a then open field, I believe on Commerce and Brandon. It was an AWESONE place to sell. Back then most vendors sold new items. On a good day I would make $2000. On a bad day about $400 to $500. The only problem with that location was the weather. If it rained heavily on Thursday or Friday the field would be muddy.... and a few times the flea market was canceled. Back then we had no technology so you'd have to get up and drive there hoping it would be ok... I tried the Hechinger Dr location in the beginning for about 2 years. It was a late crowd but if you wanted a spot back then you'd better be there by 5:30AM. Everyone wanted everything for NOTHING. They didn't want to spend any money. They wanted you to GIVE your merchandise away. The only restrooms were in Burger King and they were NASTY! I went from making $400 to $2000 a day at the old spot to less than $200 on a GOOD day IF I was lucky. I finally stopped going there. It wasn't worth my time. I wish everyone good luck but this is NOT a good location if you're trying to make extra money to help your finances.. But I guess not a bad spot if you just want to get rid of your junk.

It was good

Pretty good place

Very friendly people

If you had your work van broken into, this should be your first stop to find your tools. I came here the weekend after my truck was robbed in dc and found a few of my tools.
