At Hurricon this year I had to sell offf some of my gaming stuff at the flea market to cover a budget miscalculation. (Never a fun thing, and possibly something I will have to repeat)

Walking out the door back to help my buddy at his booth, I looked at one of the other tables and saw my Kryptonite… ziplock baggies of "random crap" for a ridiculously low price.

for 5 dollars I ended up with about 170 miniatures of various makes, scales, and materials. Since I'm too poor to get in on the 2nd chance that just dropped on the reaper bones kickstarter, I figured that I'd have a different "cheap miniatures painting experience".

Wow! I thought I had some good flea market stories but this takes the cake! You just can't beat 3-cent miniatures.

Great Find! Looks like you could have some great Fantasy and Post-apoc fun with those figs.

yeah. and i'm starting with the absolute WORST of the lot and working my way towards the FUN figures , just so that I don't end up with a "turkey bag filled with crap" of my own

Though in the interest of full disclosure i'm also using up a lot of my bits box getting these into something usable…
