E-commerce Sites
It is extremely difficult to accurately portray what is in the store at any given time.
You can see pictures of the individual booths by visiting the store map page,
but items sell so quickly the pictures are obsolete almost as quickly as they are published.
We have found craigslist.com to be the easiest way to give a representative view of what is currently
in the store. In addition to individual items the dealers list, the owners often place ads for types
of things such as dining tables, sofas, etc.
We do not sell from craigslist, we only show items currently for sell as a convenience for our Atlanta
area shoppers. If you see something you are interested in, be sure to call beforehand and make sure it
is still available! Though we have a "No Hold" policy, if you are seriously interested in something
you see on craigslist and are on your way, call and let us know and we will "pull the tag" and hold it
for you for up to 1 hour. See our craigslist postings
here.
Our association with eBay goes all the way back to December, 1998. At the time,
we were an authorized Beanie Baby retailer and eBay gave us the exposure to a whole
new opportunity to market our products. We now use eBay primarily to market unique
and interesting objects that it is difficult to establish a retail value. Though we
may set reserve prices on some items, most are listed with a low opening bid and no
reserve price so we let the marketplace establish the value. See our current eBay
offerings

Please stop by and read our blog. We show some great decorating ideas as well
as some fun repurposing ideas. Though our actual postings may vary week to week,
here is our tentative schedule:
- Mondays: "Metamorphasis
Monday" where we
show before and
after pictures. This
thread is hosted by
Susan at
Between Naps on the
Porch.
- Tuesdays: "Home
Tour Tuesdays" where
we show you rooms
from the homes of
our owners, dealers,
and customers that
are mostly decorated
with treasures from
A Classy Flea.
- Thursdays: "Tablescape
Thursday" has become
one of the most fun
challenges for our
dealers. We "shop"
the entire store and
put together a
fabulous table
setting. This thread
is also hosted by
Between Naps on the
Porch.
- Fridays: is
"Friday at the Flea"
where we showcase a
different theme each
week. You never know
what you might find
in this blog!
- Saturdays: "pink
Saturday" lets us
concentrate on all
things pink. This
thread is hosted by
Beverly at
How Sweet the Sound.

We now have Twitter threads you can follow. The first one, which you can follow
here, is maintained
by the owners of A Classy Flea. You can expect to see announcements for upcoming sales, special promotions,
and new dealer announcements. The other one, which you can follow
here, is maintained by the dealers at A
Classy Flea. The dealers will be sharing the great finds they have brought in, along with any booth specific
sales they are having.
Many of the dealers have found Facebook to be a wonderful way to connect with
family and friends. A Classy Flea has even launched a Facebook page to promote
our store. If you are not on Twitter, look
here for the latest updates from A Classy Flea. Become a
fan and your Facebook friends can see what they are missing out on!
