North Dakota does not have a lot of people, so it is not too surprising that there are not a lot of flea markets.

The ones that they have are good and they have a lot of antiques and collectibles.

It gets very cold in North Dakota, so many of the markets are indoors.

There are a few traditional type flea markets around the state, but you will find most of them are indoor sales areas.

There are a lot of thrift stores in small towns, and you can find some amazing treasures in those stores as well.
