Not only are the prices unbelievably low, but vendors sell everything from antique furniture and crystal dishes, to hygienic products, tube socks, and air rifles. If you can think of it, it is being sold at Englishtown Auction Sales.

Fresh produce, plants, and flats of flowers are for sale at prices way below traditional supermarket and nursery costs.

Englishtown Auction Sales does not just tout used or old products; some vendors sell high quality, never used, brand name products at a fraction of the retail price! 

And when you are tired of buying and perusing the 40 acre location, you can sit and enjoy food from a variety of local food vendors. Food trucks sell hot dogs, pizza, cheese steaks, Italian sausage, roasted corn, pretzels, kettle corn, zeppoles, barbecue, and even Chinese food!

Interested in selling some of your own goodies? Englishtown Auction Sales sells monthly tables for $5 per day when you agree to sell for the entire month. 

The Englishtown Auction is open all year long on Saturdays and Sundays from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. On Labor Day and Memorial Day the flea market opens an hour later, at 9 a.m, but remain open until 4 p.m.

Easter, Christmas, and New Year's Day are the only holidays the flea market closes. 

Plan your next trip carefully:

  • be prepared to walk a great deal outdoors, so bring lots of fluids to hydrate yourself
  • all parking is free so it fills up fast, come early to get a good parking spot (and keep in mind where you park as you will have to carry all of your purchases back to your car)
  • if you are looking to stock up on a lot of items, wagons, carts, and backpacks are great for carrying  purchases
  • check the weather report before you go and dress accordingly since most of the vendors are located outdoors  

 

Happy shopping!
