The big haul: Shop, swap, and save at 20+ local resellers in Columbus

When it comes to Columbus’ shopping scene, we love a good treasure hunt — especially when it’s a bargain.

The malls are always buzzing in CBUS, but these swap meets, flea markets, vintage shops, and curated events are where the true fashionistas build their wardrobe.

Swap meets and flea markets

• Mid-Ohio Swap Meet, 717 E. 17th Ave. | Check out this two-day event that happens multiple times throughout the year. Haggle your way to a good deal and take home clothes, home decor, and even car parts.
• South High Drive-in Flea Market, 3050 S. High St. | Consider this your weekly re-up where vendors from across the city + state will flood to sell clothes and shoes. Sellers will also have a wide selection of basically anything — old furniture, children toys, and baseball cards.
• Westland Flea Market, 4170 W. Broad St. | If you are looking for a deal, look no further. This market offers everything from head to toe, such as cowboy hats and Jordan sneakers. (Possibly even worn together, creating the first ever “Columbus Cowboy” outfit).
