Practical FAQs
Six quick answers
Are prices negotiable?
Most tables may consider reasonable offers after 11:00 AM. Sellers set their own prices and may decline.
Should I bring bags?
Yes. Bring reusable bags, boxes, and packing material for fragile purchases; supplies are limited.
Are public restrooms available?
No public restroom is promised as part of this fictional route.
Can I bring a dog?
Leashed service animals are welcome. Other pets are discouraged because walkways and tables may be crowded.

No delivery is included. Buyers arrange transport and confirm pickup timing before paying.
Can I return an item?
Sales are final unless a seller clearly states otherwise. Inspect condition and ask questions before purchase.
