The number of vendors participating in this year’s Dania Beach (Fla.) Marine Market Flea Market is up from last year, organizers said.

The flea market is set for March 18-21.

With about two weeks to go until the event, organizers said there are 16 percent more vendors participating this year than last year. Specific numbers were not available.

Market vendors sell new and used marine equipment, as well as “scratch and dent” merchandise or products that are overstocked or obsolete.

“Many items marketed at the marine flea market cannot be sold through conventional channels so the vendors appreciate the fact that visitors to the annual event are ‘buyers’ in the true sense of the word,” said Jennifer Dudas, vice president of event organizer Al Behrendt Enterprises, said in a statement.

“Over four days, thousands of boating and fishing-related items are bought and sold through a system of dickering and dealing,” she added.
