We spent $30 at the Vancouver Flea Market and this is what we bought

Dig into your wallet and imagine what you could buy with your cash at the Vancouver Flea Market.

Nestled beside Terminal Avenue, the iconic red building is packed with vendors selling a kaleidoscope of items that you won’t find anywhere else. For this reason alone, the market has become a weekend tradition for vintage lovers.

Curious to see what treasures we could unearth, Daily Hive sent someone along to the flea market tasked with uncovering some treasures with just 30 bucks in their pockets.

Take a look below to see what we managed to score.

USB portable fan

Ok, this one’s just cool. Complete with a USB cable, this portable fan plugs right into your computer and soothes you with a gentle breeze while you type away at work.

Flashy sunglasses

These are timeless. Keep them on your dashboard in the car or wear them to your favourite places to make a lasting impression. The Lana Del Rey look will never get old.

Vintage trading cards

No need to use these legendary trading cards and stickers – the point is that they’re awesome to look at.

Traditional fan

Silly, striking, and practical at the same time. Bring it to the beach to cool your face and turn heads.

Colorful USB phone charger

There’s no shortage of tech at the Vancouver Flea Market. These came in tons of different bright colours so you’ll never lose yours.

Postcards

Snail mail isn’t dead, especially when it’s decorated with epic West Coast locations. What’s also cool is the historical kicker – you can find ones that have already been used. Perfect for framing.
