Default Flea markets

What luck have you had at flea markets finding bodies?

I went to a flea market today, because I wanted a cutoff saw.

I found nothing other than a deep fried Twinkie. It was delicious.

I've never found any decent R/C stuff at a flea market.

A few years ago I found a 1/5th scale car.. That was before I knew how much they go for new.. I think the person wanted like $2-400 for it.. Thought it was too much at the time..

Recently however, I go to flea markets to find used machine equipment/tooling. Last summer I got 2 milk crates of R8 collets, end mills, a dial indicator, and a few other goodies for $30... Thought that was a pretty good deal..

I've seen lots of old Tonka trucks and Buddy L trucks, usually if I do find anything RC it's like old Wallyworld cars.

the flea markets around here dried up several years ago. it's at least a 2hr drive to get too one. but when they were around, they were full of chinamart junk, military stuff, crap knives and things nobody else wanted. 8 track tapes were the worst.

I almost bought a unicycle at the flea market yesterday. Now that I think about it, I should have bought the damn thing. Only RC body I found was a Dodge

Yeah dude, I noticed that at my local one. A lot of vendors selling shitty Chinese knock off junk.
