Busy weekend. Hit a rummage sale, community-wide yard sale day and the flea markets. This is usually a pretty good time of the year and this is probably the most volume I've had all year, although nothing particuarly valuable. But that's OK, after how well Botcon went, I'm needing to volume to restock for next year!

You must live in the flea market capital of the universe. I've never seen TFs anywhere in a flea market.
I think he grabs a bunch from his collection, scatters them about, and take pictures of them and passes them off as flea markets finds. Just Kidding!! What is your secret? You're SO damn lucky!!!
a buddy of mine said there is a flea market around the Brockton, MA area and there is a guy there with g-1 for sale.
Uhhhhhhhh..... Wow. I didn't even notice that.... One is different, isn't it? That one came from a yard sale. From a kid who's toys were fairly well taken care of.
It's insane at the stuff you find! I go to sales on occassion, unfortunately don't go often enough since I have to get a ride.
Again, where the hell do you live?!? Just purely curious...that's amazing stuff! I used to be that lucky a decade ago until people got savvy agan about what they had...
I refuse to believe it has much to do with where I live. Frankly, I've had success at flea markets and/or thrift stores in Pennsylvania (both east and west sides), New Jersey, Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, Colorado, Washington... Yeah, there's a lot more competition now than when I started this 10 years back, but stuff is still out there to be had.
Hey rework 2 questions: 1) Do you ever sell any of your fleamarket finds? 2) if so how beat up is the BW silverbolt(the bird not the wolf thing) I'm loooking for his arms, bird head and missiles?
Yep. Here's a pic of my Botcon table from about two weeks ago (with my table helpers): Sorry, no bird head, no missiles, it's kinda stripped.
damn...thanks anyway...would it be possible to mail u a list of parts i'm looking for..there's only about 3 or for an thier mostly just missing pieces for magnaboss.
Well, I think it does depend somewhat on where you live. I'm over here in San Jose and there's nothing, practically and I looked for quite a bit for a while. All the flea markets are literally full of junk. Soon, though, I'll leave this state behind and will, hopefully, find another with beautiful stuff just waiting to be found!
