Electronics Flea Market (EFM) - Sunday April 13, 2025, at West Valley College The Electronics Flea Market is held in parking lot 3 of the West Valley College in Saratoga from 6:00 a.m. until noon. West Valley College 14000 Fruitvale Ave Saratoga, California 95070 Sellers: Enter the college at any of the three roads into the college from Fruitvale Avenue, then turn left (north) on the loop road. We have an agreement with West Valley College, with plenty of room to offer well over 100 2-space seller spots, so we won't run out of room. With 2-space spots, most sellers can park their vehicles in their seller's spot. If you need more room, we have a limited number of 3-space spots, or you may request multiple 2-space spots. Sellers pay $40 for a 2-space pair of consecutive parking spaces. The fee is collected upon entry. There are also a limited number of 3-space spots priced at $60. You may lease multiples of 2-space spots, if you need more space. Please let the gate volunteer know your requirements. Sellers should bring a completed form CDTFA-410-D. Check the seller tab on the web site for details. We have blank forms on site for those who need them. We remind sellers that they are expected to leave their spots clean. Do not leave trash or freebies behind. Dispose of recyclables and ordinary trash in the provided receptacles. Take everything else with you when you leave. Please visit http://www.electronicsfleamarket.com/recycle for information on how and where to recycle. Please take your cardboard and eWaste with you when you leave. Most communities in the Bay Area offer cardboard recycling at the curbside as part of your garbage service. Do not leave it at the flea market. Buyers: Enter on any of the three roads into the college from Fruitvale Avenue, then use the loop road to access parking lots 4 and 5. After 8:00 a.m., buyers may park in lot 2 off of Allendale Avenue. There is no flea market fee for buyers, but you will need a parking permit ($3 for a daily permit).
