I have long felt that state and local economic development analysts need to pay more attention to the potential of antique shops, antique mall, and flea markets to bring out of town consumers into the area AND to keep local money in the local economy. The growth potential for used good retail venues is enormous and would allow us to lessen our reliance on cheap imported manufactured goods from Eastern Asia. The local officials around my area see flea markets, resale shops, and antique shops as blighted, nuisance land uses and that view needs to changed through education and more nuanced enforcement. These uses reduce waste, provide employment (part or full time) to vendors and dealers, and keep local money cycling through the local economy rather than going to some manufacturer overseas.
