I got a bunch of stuff Saturday (I go every week) a notable item I picked up would be a MIB "Spacethings" by Mr Bany J for $5. The old price sticker on the box says $74.99 Another great find a few weeks ago was a Toki Doki Barbie MISB for $8.. which I sold for over $220 Yet another great purchase recently was the TRU 3 pack of Megatron, The Fallen & Soundwave loose for 75 cents.. quarter a figure. I also once bought a Ringwraith on horse MISB for $1.. 250 loose Hot Wheels $20. I could go on forever here. This weekend I'm going to Roxbury NJ to a town wide sale.. can't wait hopefully I'll score some great stuff
This has been a really slow year for me as far as finding Transformers at the flea markets. I found a few G1 figures, but nothing spectacular. I scored some nice 80's GI Joe vehicles a couple weeks ago. My best finds this year were actually just last weekend. I got an original 1984 Ghostbusters Proton Pack with the box for $22. Plus at the same flea market I got an original carded 1982 Masters of the Universe Man-E-Faces for only $10.
I have had terrible luck finding transformers at flea markets/ swap meets/ yard sales. Which sucks because my wife loves it, so we go often.
I find Transformers pretty easily at the flea market. The problem is the sellers charge ridiculous prices for them. That Beast Wars Megatron alone would cost me $45-$60 there. One vendor let me dig through some boxes. Near the bottom of one, I found a Cybertron Primus, loose, missing everything as well as one of his feet...$75 since all Transformers happened to be on sale. Gee, thanks for the swell deal.
Actually found some pretty good deals this week at the local flea market. Got a bunch of '70s - '80s star wars figs & parts including the original 12" stormtrooper and R2D2 (both complete) for $10 a piece. My best find, however, was all 6 gobots puzzler robots for $1 each. Back in the day i hated the gobots...how did i not know about this guy? He's awesome. I kinda wish Tonka would start cranking these guys out again.
Just recently I found 27 Beast Wars figures in a box and got it all for $20. Some of which included the Tripredicus members, Dragon Megatron, Tigerhawk, Depth Charge, Transmetal Optimus Primal, and many others. The best part is that post were either complete or had parts I needed to restore other figures. Ended up selling the copies of figures I had and got $50 for it.
