  2. Great work. If you want to view and buy products from flea markets all over Cape Town, and for that matter, South Africa, go to www.market-flea.com. It is an online marketplace where flea market lovers, buyers and vendors, are able to buy and sell goods from anywhere in South Africa.

  3. Cape Town flea markets are a joke when compared to those I'm Joburg. Seriously, they are nothing but over priced over cultured affairs, where people delude themselves into believing they are basking in the glow some ridiculously classic 1960's american movie. Buyers beware, there are no bargains or items of value to be bought, just over priced african curios targeted at the moronic tourists gagging for a taste of 'Africa'.
