With School Over, Penn Holds Moving Out Flea Market (KYW)
by KYW’s Mike Dougherty
Students at Penn have moved out and they left
behind quite a bounty for local bargain hunters at the 3rd annual Penn Moves
flea market.
“Anything that your kid has in a dorm is here"
That's Ann Schmeig with the United Way. She helps organize the event and says everything up for sale was listed for $35 or less, but most items were under $10.
Mark had his hands full in electronics department:
"Got a flat screen TV, a flat screen monitor, fax machine, lamps, fans -- a little bit of everything."
Lovey of West Philadelphia is here for the 2nd year in a row:
"I think it's fantastic because this way it's not thrown in the trash and other people can use these products."
Every penny made will be donated to the United Way and event organizers expect to at least equal last year's total of about $30,000.
