Flea Market
📖 The reseller scene in Trinidad and Tobago is unique. Instead of large, traditional flea markets, sourcing comes from a mix of vibrant artisan pop-ups, a growing number of thrift and vintage stores, and antique shops holding colonial-era items. Success requires visiting these different types of venues: artisan markets like UpMarket for high-quality local crafts to sell internationally, and thrift stores for clothing and decor to flip locally on platforms like Facebook Marketplace.
