Flea Markets

Posted in Off Topic

Who has a flea market in their area? Is it any good, or is it all junk? I have one in where I'm at, Redding, CA. It's called the Jolly Giant Flea Market. It used to be fant-freaking-tastic! You could find tons of old comics, records, cards, figures, and the normal stuff like pipes, knives, and movies.

I just went there today, though, and it sucked, hard! It was more like a junk shop. And the few things they did have that wasn't trash was far over-priced. Like a Star Trek (DC Comics) comic, for $5.00, not even in NM conditions, when you can find it in the 50 cent bins elsewhere!

I did come home with a Data (Star Trek TNG) action figures, a couple $1.00 comics, and a battle-cat figure from He-Man. Data was a little beat-up, though.

Any treasures anyone else has found lately at the Flea Mart?

My Flea market used to be good.

There was a dealer there that sold good toys.

I came so often that the dealer and I becanme friends so he'd always cut me awesome deals on already good priced stuff.

But sadly he has moved on and no longer sells there. I don't know where he's gone too.

Shame really

Ours are mostly crap. I think either everyone is keeping the toys (except for super little kid toys) or are selling them online. I have to get to ohio, last year my folks found a dealer with piles of figures on his tables cheap.
