Do you guys have to pay to go to ham fleamarkets as BUYERS ?

No doubt MIT's charge for using the parking lot and garage is
cosiderable. I suppose by charging the buyers the seller's
fee is kept low, which results in lots of individual sellers
with weird interesting stuff, who as it happens don't sell
much, and wouldn't be there if the seller's fees were higher.

There is an admission charge for buyers. Not sure if there is one for
vendors. When and where is Harvard's flea?

Just my 2 cents...

Just about every hamfest and fleamarket I go to here in PA and NJ
charges an entrance fee for the "ham" only. Kid's and wives are free.

Have fun,

Doug

What if the ham is a woman? Does a non ham husband get in free?

Yes. The Flea at MIT charges a nominal admission. Other area flea
markets do too.
