DeniseP, a swap meet is a place where pretty much anyone can rent out a space and sell whatever they want. Usually people sell used things, but some also sell new stuff that they import from China or whatever. Prices are much lower than regular stores, because there is very little overhead, just the $50 or whatever they pay for the space. I get a lot of my clothes from places like this that sell clothing for $1 a piece (hence my blog: One-Dollar Wonders).
Also, I'd like to add to the list of places I'll never shop with again: Quicksilver. I know it's a junior's store, but many of you have kids, so I thought I'd mention. Their return policy swears up and down that you can return any online purchase in-store but, when I received my order, it said I must return by mail (at my own cost) because I used Paypal. There is absolutely no mention of this in the return policy or anywhere in the order process. No one at Customer Service cared one bit. I feel it is a purposeful misrepresentation, meant to make customers feel better about ordering more items, thinking they can safely return to a store if needed. Just horrible!
