Parking Fees Hurt Will Rogers Flea Market

Open Letter to Michael Alterio, http://www.fleamarketzone.com,

I am the vendor mentioned in the Jeff Prince’s blog in FW Weekly.  For almost 20 years, I have sold all types of antiques & collectibles at wholesale.
The barn has been the best kept secret for 40 years.
Last week, I bought an early 1960s bicycle in excellent condition for $35. A pair of 1920s crystal ornate table lamps for $20!!  These bargains are there every weekend!
Yes, I have to pay. The parking is unorganized and unfair.They are breaking the disability law because my disabled customers have to pay $5.00 to get to the specially parked spaces. There are long lines, unnecessary delays. No one knows what they are doing, very poor planning and the rumor is they are raising the price in October! What folly! Instead If they had started with parking at $2.00, everyone would pay it and all business at Will Rogers would be booming! Then wait & raise it to $3.00 and so on……A little common business sense would be great.

In addition, it doesn’t help the vendors that the Cattle Barn participates in very little (if any) advertising……Change is inevitable. Too Bad, it is NOT being handled in a profitable intelligent manner.
