Its that time again.

My group will be bringing a ton of old RPG books and mods, some prepainted 15mm ww2 plastic tanks, and some painted/unpainted 15mm ww2 Russians

My usual mix of cheap, heavy on painted 28mm figures at $1 USD each, but a friend's bringing 30mm Napoleonics--or, if they've sold, I think 15mm WWII.

Do we know where and what times the flea market will take place?

robert piepenbrink Supporting Member of TMP20 Oct 2024 9:07 a.m. PST

The usual times. Friday afternoon. Saturday morning and afternoon. I presume the usual Sunday AM scramble, but it wasn't mentioned. Didn't see a reference to place, but I'm sure they'll figure something out.

HMS Exeter20 Oct 2024 9:39 a.m. PST

Thursday – None

Friday – 7p-9p

Saturday – 10p-12n; 2p-4p

Sunday – Officially, 9a-11a. Traditionally,as soon as the earliest bird finds a door unlocked, until the last bitter ender finally packs if in.

I will be bringing all sorts of things. We will be at each session. Come and find us, bringing the Grotto with me.

Robert,
It's being held in the Lampeter room… same place since the renovation was completed.

Thanks, TRU.

You know, I am at the same time pleased and hurt. I spent more conventions than I can count "optimized" into dark corners and late nights. As soon as I miss a couple of years with tight money and exhaustion, the flea market goes back almost to how it was when I was a purchaser and not a flea marketeer.

What are people looking for? I am hoping to find some modern Soviet 15mm tanks and APCs, but also looking for 15mm ACW (Anything).

I will be selling some so=tuff as well, FOW WW2 Germans, and 15mm unpainted Russian Naps, plus Osprey books and other stuff.

Lonesome Dove Supporting Member of TMP27 Oct 2024 6:03 a.m. PST

@ronin61

Painted or unpainted ACW, and how much?

Lonesome Dove Supporting Member of TMP27 Oct 2024 8:53 a.m. PST

Has any word been cast down explaining why the flea market times are cut short by an hour? I have my speculations, but would rather hear a valid reason for it.

TSD10127 Oct 2024 9:24 a.m. PST

I would imagine its a lack of volunteers and the fact that the third hour is usually pretty dead.

ronin6128 Oct 2024 10:25 a.m. PST

@Northern Rebel

Mostly unpainted. Looking for generic Union and Confederate Infantry, Artillery, wagons and limbers. I am at the Saturday morning Wally's (Have a table).

Double G28 Oct 2024 1:40 p.m. PST

I'm looking for 20mm Napoleonic War Qualitycast painted or unpainted, Frontier Miniatures 25mm ACW, Franco Prussian War and First Sudan War painted or unpainted, Ral Partha 25mm First Sudan War painted or unpainted.

Personal logo enfant perdus Supporting Member of TMP28 Oct 2024 5:57 p.m. PST

I am still not seeing Wally's as a purchasable ticket/event option. Am I missing something?

jtkimmel28 Oct 2024 9:25 p.m. PST

T-shirts and Wally's are under Merch Sales.
