    I've lived in L.A. for going on 40 years and have never,never, never been to the Rose Bowl flea market and now having seen it through the eyes of GiV I can honestly say I will probably give a pass on it for at least another 40 years.
    Some things are best laid to rest. But thanks to Mike for gutting it out for us.

      I love picking at flee markets/ swapmeets/ tiangius but the rose bowl is a whole different ballpark. Don't go there looking for any sort of deal, its really only for the novelty of going there to be seen or for the movie studios to buy props.

      $10/$20? 🤪 What a rip off! That's just greed, as im sure the sellers already pay for their pitch.

      Because it's at the port area of cali. Lots of chinese and knockoff goods at flea markets but by cali its the hub of where they all start to get their chinese goods and knockoff ware brands. It all gets off the boat next to this flea market, then the resellers go early to snag all the wholesale deals to resell to others that come later. The owners know it is the hub of the grey market resellers.

    • @dertythegrower
      @dertythegrower 3 роки тому +3

      Basically what I am saying is... all those resellers on ebay with Fike shoes (not Nike but N'ike, N!ke, and N1ke shoes) get their wares probably from the main people at this flea market in cali. The owners know people come to pay half price for fake shoes and hats, and resell it for profit, so they are making money off the 'early bird' people (people who want the resale deals before others)

    When I lived in LA I furnished my entire house with vintage furniture purchased at area flea markets (no crappy new furniture manufactured with inferior materials). The few times I visited the Rose Bowl I quickly learned to shop "across the canal" first since this area had more "occasional sellers" and not professional dealers who charge prices comparable to an antique store. My recommendation, which may be outdated, would be to check out the monthly Long Beach Antique Show at Vets Stadium (entrance fee required), the weekly Golden West College swap meet in Huntington Beach (no entrance fee) or the weekly Cypress College swap meet in Cypress (no entrance fee). If you're ever in San Diego Kobey's swap meet is pretty good (small entrance fee).

      It's because the best items are the first to be sold so the later you come the less deals to be had. Believe it or not but a lot of people make a living buying, restoring and then selling old items from flea markets / swap meets.

    Nice walk around! I was *born* in Pasadena, and my mom's side of the family have been in Pasadena since something like the late 1800s. I still have an aunt (she must be in her 90s) living near Pasadena, and my mother's mother had a men's clothing store in Pasadena and I guess that's where she (my mother) met my dad. My mother also used to help make the floats for the Rose Parade, everything is made of flowers or other plant parts. But I've never been to the Rose Bowl! I knew a guy who told me he made part of his living going to to the Rose Bowl flea market and buying stuff to resell. My family left Pasadena when I was very little and moved out to Orange County on the coast. So it's really funny being born in Pasadena and not knowing the city at all.

It's a fun little fall tradition we really felt the loss of in '20. Hopefully we can go this fall again!
    But in the meantime, I enjoyed you showing us around this one, GiV. Good to see people out.

    I got to the Rose Bowl flea market at eleven o clock. I found a Slingerland tenor banjo that the instrument hawks missed. The pot and resonator were in good shape but the fret board and the skunk stripe were made with sap wood because it soaked up the black die so good but had to have rotted with in months of it being sold. Had to make a new neck, but I saved it from becoming a five string, which is what happens to most of these in the US.

    😳 That bridge is called: Suicide Bridge. Countless people have jumped from it throughout the years. Rumor has it that it's haunted👻. People have come to do documentaries 🎥 on it's hauntings of it. It runs parallel to Colorado Bl and the 210 get near the 134 fwy adjacent to the 🌹rose bowl & near eagle rock.

      It's actually called the Colorado Street Bridge, and (reportedly) over 150 people have committed suicide off it since the first suicide in 1919.

    Ah! That old NES on the right looked to be in great condition. I would've bought that in a heartbeat. Plus the pistol!

    Thanks for this video on the Rose Bowl. I sold antiques there for almost 10 yrs. Then moved to the PNW 20 years ago. Haven’t been back since, so it was great to see the place. Back then, the entry fee cost $10 for early bird shoppers. The best stuff gets snapped up quickly so the $20 fee is worth it. Wish you had bought the US map or Michael Jackson picture. It’s fun scooping up something unique at the Rose Bowl.
