What I bought from Amcorp Mall flea market
A well used antique Chinese nest of tables. It was MY decision, against my better half's opinion that they were made of chipboard. In fact they were made of solid wood but having signs of chipped off paint and lacquer. Link
Yes. It is our favourite place during weekends if in PJ, even if just browsing through what were on offer. We know of one Penang antique dealer who used to set up stall there. But he found out Singapore is even more lucrative. There are a number of Malay dealers from Ipoh who found prices in PJ high enough to cover their travelling expenses as well as earning higher profits. So from our point of view, it is because of more variety and occasionally a chance to spot something we really like, though likely to be more expensive.
Good buy, KS. There are such offers at AmCorp Mall if you are patient enough to look for them.
