I know this has probably been done to death but.
Sound off about some of your great yard sale/flea market finds. Just recently picked up a turbografx 16/turbo duo + 20 games for $15 at a yard sale. Also picked up some older/vintage 80's action figures and vehicles. Inhumanoids, Centurians, Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors and some that I have no Idead what they came from but remember having. The figures have this mechanism that when you pump their waist's their faces change. they have this rubber over a skeleton type deal. I'll get some pics up after I unpack them.

I found a MOC TRU ROC Firefly at a local flea market recently for only $5... you can't find him anymore for that price so that was neat. I got rid of him a couple days ago though. LOL.
The problem IMO with yard sales and flea markets is that before it was always just about getting rid of stuff, nowadays people want more and more money for the stuff they want to get rid of.

I love garage sale shopping but you are correct. People are starting to ask way to much. I have passed on many items because the asking price was higher than I would pay on e-bay or Craigs list for the same items.

Some people just say they have GI Joe toys just to get you to their garage sale.

As for best Yard Sale deal: $5 for all this: Best Flea Market deal was way back in 2001. I got a G1 Astrotrain Transformer complete with the box for $1 (What killed me is that the seller said earlier in the day he sold a Semi Truck (Optimus I assume) and a Car Carrier (Ultra Magnus I also assume) in their boxes for $10 each :( ) Around the same time I also found a(at another flea market) a Soundwave with 5-6 tapes (some duplicates) for $8 |
