Has anyone been to the Aloha Stadium swap meet / marketplace? It might be another good alternative to the old / original / awesome International Marketplace of the past.

I have been and it's okay, the majority of it is your typical tourist ware. Nothing very exciting but if you're in the market, you can get great deals because you can haggle with them. It's setup around the stadium itself, in the parking lot, so you will literally walk around the entire thing with merchants on both sides but they practically sell the same stuff every 100 feet, so you end up getting Deja vu every 20min. Once in awhile you'll come across artisan merchants which is breath of fresh air. The best is when locals show up with their stuff, basically garage sale items but my Dad found some great tiki pieces for next to nothing. Bottom line, it's hit or miss but if you have an hour or so to kill, it's worth a gander
