The Flea Market

The Flea Market is for non-commercial sellers of used amateur radio and related equipment. It is located in the back (south) half of the Jim Graham Building. See the Event Floor Plan. See the Commercial Area page if you are a commercial seller of new amateur radio and related equipment.

You will be able to purchase tables, tickets, and power connections online with a major credit card during the “Early Bird” Period. If you would prefer to mail us a check, you will be able to use an “Early Bird” Order Form. Subject to availability, you will be able to buy tables and admission “at the door” on the day before and the day of the show.Prices will be higher at the door.

The assignment of tables in the Flea Market is entirely at our discretion. We generally assign tables on a first come, first served basis. We will try to accommodate reasonable requests made at the time of purchase, but requests for changes to existing assignments will, in most cases, not be granted. Assignments may change at our discretion up to and including the day of the event.
