I am in Sabah recently and had a chance to visit Asia City Flea Market in Kota Kinabalu. Thanks to my Facebook friend Paul Simbaku who informed me about this flea market. The flea market located in Star City Mall, not so far from Center Point Shopping Mall (around 800m walk). The Flea Market open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday at around 10am until 5pm. I were told that there are 7 sellers who are regular at this flea market right now but most of them will only be selling on weekend. I am visiting this flea market on Friday, 30 December 2011, only 3 people are selling at that time.
In this flea market, you can found Malaysia, British North Borneo, Sarawak, Malaya and many foreign coins and banknotes but in my visit that day, look like they don't have much item to display (when I visit Wisma Merdeka dealers that day, they too don't have much item on display). They are also selling Malaysia new banknote in this flea market and one seller selling stamps and 1st day cover. I don't had a chance to visit them on weekend, maybe another 4 sellers that I had not meet had many other item on sale.
The items price in this flea market slightly higher from any flea market I had been visiting before. I seen some Sarawak coins that I have been hunting since last 2 years but the price almost double from the market price. The high price stop me from bargaining for those coins. This is just my personal opinion, maybe any Sabahan collectors can enlighten me about this matter. Asia City Flea Market still a must visit for coin collectors who are visiting Kota Kinabalu.
