I will try as many of the suggested places as I can, thank you! Here is what I am looking for:
used old license plates, different sizes of records (they will be rendered useless when I am done with them), some record/album covers, an old gas station type light, an old sink with a high apron back (usually cast iron), old cast iron coat hooks, metal wire baskets (the kind they used to use in pool locker rooms).
Many of these things I could find on ebay and such but don't want to pay those prices.
Thanks everyone!

Try get a grip & more in Washington. They have a couple of your items. Second Time Around has some albums all at 75% off.

Its a drive. But exit 88 off the parkway. Make a right on to route 70. Go a few miles and there is a large flea market every week on the right. Not sure of the town it is in.
Place is always packed. I don't know what kind of items are there. Maybe you can do a search. Its in Ocean county.

Each one of those items is a different story and might be better at one place or another.

The license plates you often don't see around, and then a flea market thinks they're gold. eBay is the best spot because there are so many and such a wide audience you just need a bit of patience and should be able to get $5 ones, even for ones from the 60's give or take.

Record albums and sleeves are positively everywhere. People can't give them away at yard sales, you already see them on HL aksing where they can be given away. Check something like freecycle and you can get quick a few for basically nothing.

Gas station light if you mean a lamp with a log like a gas pump had, then for a real one is huge $. They're big time advertising collectables & eBay would actually likely to be less. On the other hand if you want a reproduction one, then most of the flea markets mentioned are as good as any.

If you mean a gas station type shade then that's entirely different. Those you can buy reproductions many places entirely new at lighting stores. Or they are really very common because just about any outdoor light of the era had the exact same thing. eBay is not a bad idea for that, but to try to undercut that you want a vintage building material place.

That's the same place you'll want to look for the sink, hooks, and wire baskets. Labertville is not bad for that, they sometimes have people doing that. I forget exactly, it may be about 2-3 miles down the road from the Labertville market but there was once a place in that area with lots of old sinks, bathtubs, stained glass, old hardwood, etc. grouped together with a couple of antique shops. Would be pricier than the flea market, but in either case don't expect that kind of thing if its in good shape to go for cheap. It may not be expensive, but there's decent $ in some old materials.

The other place for the same type of stuff is just an old junk yard. Particular for the sink. Your only issue there is often condition. You may need to put a good amount of work in it to clean and recondition it, but then that's why you don't pay much for junk yard items.

Good luck.

Jennyjdaybyday, I don't think you can get in touch with anyone. On sat. and sun morning venders line up on rt 46 and a few min to 6? the owners son, goes around and collects the money from the vendors. I suspect you could go there and talk to him then. Otherwise I don't know of how to get in touch with anyone. Owner has since passed away and I did hear they are trying to sell the property. Maybe finding the realtor who's handling it might be an option. Guess it depends on what your questions are in reference to.
