About 15 years ago I would go every Sunday to find goods fix and sell for a spot I rented, in a Walnut Creek shop.
Have not been there much lately and miss the vendors who don’t sell there anymore.
It’s also fun to go sell there too, which I have done a few times with items & plants.
There are interesting people you end up meeting there.
In fact, that’s how I met one of friends (20+ years ago) who loved to furnish her house and I helped her.
It’s great knowing nothing I’m buying there is hot because they are recording serial numbers.
