Saturday, April 11, 2012
- Due to conflicts with the Farmers Market in lot A and other events on campus we’ve moved the Electronics Flea Market to lot B. Lot B is under the solar panels near the lot C parking garage. Good news is the panels provide light in the early hours and some shade during the hotter months.
Saturday, February 17, 2012
- We have confirmed that the flea market is going to be in lot A this year. No more messing around with lot B and its solar panels.
Saturday, February 4, 2012

Saturday, October 1, 2011
- The October 8th flea market is moving down to parking lot B. This is the parking lot just south of usual location, so you should not have any trouble finding it.
Thursday, September 8, 2011
- The September 10th flea market has been canceled because of construction on the De Anza college campus. We only received the notice this afternoon, so we have scrambled to get the word out.
Friday, August 12, 2011
- Note to buyers/sellers that there is construction
occurring in parking lots A & B on the college campus.
This is not affecting the flea market itself,
but buyers may need to park in different locations
on campus since space in Lots A & B is limited.
We are doing our best to mitigate the problem with signage, staff to direct buyers to parking, and requesting permission to use parking space not normally available for buyers to use (e.g “staff” parking and “30 Minute Visitor” parking).

Wednesday, April 18, 2007
- We have received reports of counterfeit USB flash
(thumb) drives being sold at the April flea market.
The counterfeit drives look legitimate and even report
as high-capacity drives (1, 2, 4, 8GB),
when connected to a PC, but they actually have 1/2 or 1/4
of the stated capacity.
Make sure you know what you’re buying and who is selling it to you. Remember the adage that if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is.
More details about counterfeit/fake USB flash drives being sold on eBay.
