My colleague Mike Pettis has something in common with a few of my family members.  He is able to find treasures in places or situations where some people will see junk.  If you happen to be a person who loves a good flea market, or a swap shop, and is always looking for a diamond in the rough, then let me tell you about Nate's Swap and Shop in Kansas City.

What makes this place also a little different than some of the flea markets is that they will often have food trucks, food vendors and other options.  With a place this large, you may need to fuel up before taking that walk around to the vendors who may have the options that you are looking for.

You will find name brand items as well as homemade goods, handmade items, and many of them are made locally.

It is encouraged that if you see something that you want, buy it.  It may not last, and apparently goods are always the first to go.  I would make sure you have cash and credit options for you.
