Wow, thank you so much dingdong5770 for your valuable advice. Is the United Square flea the same as Fashionista or different? I have noticed that organisers sometimes use the same location like as you mention River Market is different to Clarke Quay but they are very close. Several organisers also use the space next to Singapore Flyer but I have been told that there is not much crowd there.

I agree that location is important but if organisers do not publicise, then the people who just happen to wander into the flea may not have the budget to spend as they may have done their weekend shopping already. If I plan to go to a fleamarket, then I always make sure I have enough money to spend and usually I will buy something since I have already made the trip there.

Most of my fleamarket experience were in Sydney where there are permanent weekend fleas like in Paddington, Paddy's, Kirribilli, Bondi. There, the crowd included both locals and tourists, all there to spend so most vendors could make a lot of money. Hopefully Singapore fleas can become like that as well.

If I'm not mistaken, if you are selling kids clothings, you are not allowed to sell it at United Square. In anyway, there were a few bazaar events organised by Urban Events at this venue.
