Went through the Saturday morning Flea Market just at opening and spent a grand total of $5 USD on a TSATF expansion. On a whim, I went back at 12:30 knowing it would be less crowded. As I approached a table I had looked at twice in my previous visit, I spotted Trireme in the middle of a stack of games. I picked it up and checked for a sticker. No price. Expecting to be told $50 USD or so, I asked the vendor what he was asking with some trepidation. He shrugged his shoulders and suggested $15. USD I paid him before he could change his mind. I've been looking on line for this for a couple of years now and haven't seen it – either at on-line dealers or eBay – for less that $50 USD and frequently for $75 USD or so. In my second sweep, I also picked up M.J. Whitley's German Cruisers of World War II for $16 USD, to go with my copy of Destroyer!, and I followed it up today by ordering his German Capital Ships of World War II on-line for less than $15. USD

I scored about 10 packs of 20mm FAA Germans for a buck a pack! On to Moscow!

29 plastic bi planes for $2.50 USD for the whole bag.

As I said to Uncle Walt O'Hara, there's a Con game in there somewhere…

Oh, heck yes. I half a dozen tin toy Zeppelins I've mounted on aerial stands. I could see a collaboration.

Picked up 15mm WWII Germans and ACW rebs, cannon, Union. 500 to 700 figures, unpainted for about 60 bucks. Various manufactures. I am not a fuss bucket about size. I will just line them up best I can. Very pleased, thought that this year people were very realistic in the flea market.

2 things for me….
A unit of Lotr Morgul Knights for a great price and a fist full of 1/1200 Ironclads….

Thank you both….

I too sold a bunch or stuff cheaply. I paid it forward well enough.

For me I got 195.00 in GW 40k models for 30.00, painted. A deal so great I went back and thanked the gentleman at the table.

Uncle Walt;

I'd love to run a game with you on this

Somebody got a great deal on Friday-
I saw a GW Dark Elf Dreadlord on Black Dragon, unopened, for 30 bucks.

Picked up a great Dark Age (the scifi game with the unfortunate name) Skaard starter and a couple blisters for a song. I didn't know I needed a second army, but there one was!
