I read an article on flea markets this past week on Yahoo! and it was talking about the things that flea markets won't tell you. anyways one of the things is that you shouldn't expect to go there with the intention of finding 'gold' so to speak because the dealers are usually going to know what they have and price accordingly. long gone are the days of getting a once in a lifetime deal at the flea market, you might have better luck at yard sales and the like

Google and ebay have made educating ones self on prices quick and easy.

Marvel Select Hulk and Avengers Hulk. Got it at the store here.

DogFashionDisco · 05-13-2012, 01:18 PM

That makes sense. The only flea market anywhere near here shut down last year, and I have a feeling that if any toy shows come here I'll just be looking at stuff and not buying for the same reasons you described.

Store wide or yours specifically? I know my local one has a horrible selection of figures.

jestermon · 05-13-2012, 02:55 PM

Got these for $8.75 shipped off e-bay.

Another thing that happens at Flea Markets now is that they think something is worth a price that is crazy outlandish because they saw a new in box going for a high amount on e-bay and think their missing arm no weapon dinged up version is the same.

Good sale at TRU this weekend, so I got a decent haul:

decepticon_mark · 05-13-2012, 04:26 PM

My weekend haul: SHS Thor plush, Thor & Loki Blood Brothers DVD, Light up base Thor{on sale}, two of the Avengers body wash{on sale}, and the MIB 3 figures which I've already replaced the Tommy Lee Jones head with my Norman so I finally have a suited Norman Osborn.

The "Look At What I Just Got!" Thread-dsc00324.jpg

I spent a little at TRU this weekend! Actually it wasn't that bad. The Black Panther was only about $15 after tax (sale) and the Iron Man/Nick Fury was about the same. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep the Black Panther figure but he is really cool. And after making fun of the light up bases, I'm digging the stand he comes with. Also not sure if I even want a Sam Jackson figure. I just hate passing on something just to go back and never see it again. (I did that with Storm Shadow in January)

Pretty good day at the flea market today. Nothing spectacular but got a couple cool things for pennies basically.

Found this cool motorcycle. It was really bulky and armored and it was only $1. Works well with Bishop I think.

Also got an old Toy Biz Cyclops for $0.20 (20 cents!)

Also found a Goblin glider but couldn't find a goblin. Got it for a quarter. Anyone know which one it came with??

Also picked up this figure (my son picked it out. It was 20 cents too. Which DC character is it? I remember seeing him before but don't know his name

That glider looks like the one that came with the famous covers goblin, was a cool figure, I used to have him. he's a cloth and plastic figure, roughly 8-9'' tall.

ps that bike is badass, if anybody knows what that's from let me know. I wouldn't mind repainting something like that. fun project.

Barefootabe · 05-13-2012, 07:26 PM

that figure in the last pic is nightwing. it must have come with a motorcycle or some thing since he has a helmet

FrankCastle · 05-13-2012, 07:28 PM

Nightwing had those colors??

Barefootabe · 05-13-2012, 07:33 PM

Dis one. Best Hobgoblin out there. It's a 6" Hobgoblin from the Spider-Man series (wave 17 I believe).
