Best place to shop for Antiques

There is quite a number of places where you can look for antiques specifically in Kuala Lumpur.
One of the best place so far is the flea market at Amcorp Mall Petaling Jaya.
There's plenty of traders displaying their stuff there. Most of them are located at the lower ground. It operate on Saturday and Sunday as early as 9.30am till late noon.
You may find lots of variety there from Local antiques to good from all over the world.Don't be surprised of they have there for you might bound to see things which is absolutely old.Perhaps could have aged more than 100 over years.

I use to go to 'Pasar Karat' which located at the back lane of Jln Sultan aka China town or petaling street. They daily from 7am to 9am. It use to be one of the best place to shop for antiques but off late I notice that it has been invaded by Indonesian traders selling reject item from factories such as soap bar, tooth paste, tooth brush etc. I wonder what happened to most of the guys who use to trade there. So far there's only 2 traders who is still operate there. For the moment I should say.there's nothing much

Another place we should visit is the Shah Alam flea market that operate on Sunday. Though there's not many antiques trader but there's a few which sells quite a number of collection.Having located at the stadium parking lot, It's the biggest flea market so far and flooded with plenty of cheap stuff around. you have to mind the weather since it is an open trading place.
