As far as toys go:
What's something you're guaranteed to see at a flea market? What's something you always see more than one of? My vote goes to dirty, incomplete Bespin Cloud Cars with mutilated decals. I saw four at a recent flea market.

Hahaha! So that's what flea markets are like in the civilized world.
Down here the only toys you see at flea markets are NASCAR Hot Wheels type-things.

I've seen several Skystriker shells in my time. Star Wars Mini-Rigs are common, and those Voltron Lions you can fit the figures in. Incomplete Mum-Ras are also plentiful.

I think the flea markets here should be called scabies markets.

McDonalds toys....tubs and tubs of them.....for $3-$5 each :(
There was a time, 9 years ago or so when I had real finds at flea markets up here: G1 Astrotrain in box - $1 G1 Soundwave with 6 tapes - $8 Mego Frankenstien - $12 Now I only have toy shows and the Hillsville flea market (I can't call it a flea market though as it only happens once a year and the whole town becomes a flea market) |

Damn! Sounds like you've got better Flea Markets than I do here in Utah! I usually hit up my local one looking for knock-off toys. I've got a weird obsession with bad, cheap, and poorly made knock off toys. Last year I picked up a Spiderman 3 12 inch Spiderman that makes machine guns sounds and yells get down on the ground like a methed-up cop or solder. I love how crappy it is!

Knock off metal lunch boxes. Same ones you see in some Chinatown shop with licensed characters mixed together like Superman and Spider-man on the same box.
