The term "flea market" actually involves many different types of people and organizations, such as volunteers, churches, schools and businesses. It is a time when people clean their "junk" out of their attics and sell to one another. A flea market sale may be held at a church, parking lot or rental booths occurring once a month or on Saturday's and usually attract buyers who have the eye for another man's junk.
A "thrift store" is a business with used merchandise and operates during business hours. Most thrift shops are a non-profit business and donations from the community are the main means for their merchandise.
Thrift store's are designed to support specific needs of their organization, such as Blue Cross, group homes, churches and schools. In comparison with a flea-market it attracts the same customers who have the eye for another man's junk.
