This is my first entry, but I am going to try to make this a weekly thing.
There are two big flea markets around my area that open every Sunday.
There are always different people selling their old merchandise.
Here is what I found this week.
As soon as I went to the first person at the flea market, I picked up my first score.
3 Strategy Guides, and an Art Book. Final Fantasy VII, Fable, Final Fantasy X,
and Final Fantasy XII Art Book. ($4.00)
The second score was a little later, after thinking the guides may be my only
pick up of the day. Someone had a giant box that said everything $1.00, I was going to just
keep going, but I saw a few cd cases peeking out, so I decided to stop.
Im glad I did.
Picked up:
Playstation: Tekken (with case and back art), Theme Park (with case & back art), D (disk only).
Sega Cd: Kids on Site (New Still Sealed), Jeopardy (New Still Sealed), Who Shot Johnny Rock? (CIB), Cliffhanger (New Still Sealed), Sol Feace (CB), Sewer Shark (Disk and front of instructions).
Sega Genesis: Hardball (CIB), Power Plug (CIB)
SNES: Madden 96, (Instructions, 2 posters, and other paperwork)
Sega Gamegear: Sonic 2 (New Still Sealed)
and 7 random instruction booklets laying in the bottom.
Picked it all up for $10.
Found these in the Harball Case, 10 video game cards. Thought they were cool and never saw them before.
After the flea market, stopped at a local game store, traded in 20 DVDs I no longer watch, and got:
N64: Doom 64, NES: Tombs and Treasure, A Boy and His Blob, SNES: Street Fighter II, Eye of the Beholder, and Sim City, PS2: Tatio Legends 2, and D1 Drifting GP.
And thats this weekends wrap-up.
Hopefully have more to report next weekend.

Nice pick-ups.
I generally go to one flea market that is open on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. And also one on Thursday.

Sweet grabs.
There is apparently a flea market in my vicinity. I need to try and get to it.
|

There are two in my area, each about 20 minutes away, this was the first Sunday for them to open. They are both old drive-ins that have them on Sundays. I always find cool things when I go and there are always different people there, so hopefully I will find some good stuff this year.

Great scores, keep it up! I'm really looking forward to going back to the flea market myself.

Yea the flea market here is freaking ridiculous! Between the grease floating around in the air and the blaring circus music, I generally dont go too much!

@Spoon:
Hey, thats what makes it kick ass

Spoon, I dont know why but that just made me laugh, blaring circus music and grease floating around in the air... makes me think of Jay & Silent Bob in Mallrats when they go to the "other" mall, and its basically a big flea market with a fortune teller with a third nipple.

*jealous*
Especially for the FFVII guide and the Hardball Genesis case full of Accolade game cards. That kind of stuff is always fun to find, and with some creativity, can be displayed.
We have a few large flea markets out here (in Metro Detroit) but due the regular dealers that have tables there (and apparently run the roost), the chance of a good find (or even a crappy find) is next to impossible. I did manage to find a boxed SNES for $20 once, but I've also been hitting the markets for about 2 years now.

I want A Boy and His Blob so bad, lol. Nice.

Bombatombo, in a few months it usually gets like that at this flea market too with all of the dealers, but they just started having them this month so it is still a lot of family's trying to sell their "junk".
Chaos Punk... I have heard so many good things about this game and after playing it for awhile, it is so much fun. Very happy about that purchase.
