Why is a flea market called that?

Nobody wants to buy fleas.

Because the misconception was some of the items sold contained fleas.

@LordShadowfire Flea markets have been around forever almost. They got their start in France 👍

@SW-User It's such a simple concept, I would think they were old enough to predate the existence of France.

@LordShadowfire I would think so too

I think it probably just refers to the size of the market. They all tend to be very small.

I’ve been to a few yard sales and they said the yard was definitely not for sale, why?
Trained fleas might make an interesting circus.
