I feel like wearing a "comics" sponsored t-shirt to dig for comics makes it harder to get deals bc sellers automatically know you know what youre doing 😂

[@StonedHeros]

CaptKirk 723 my wife asked me why I wasn’t wearing a comic T-shirt when I went to the flea market the other day and I said that exact thing

[@robbijohnson6983]

Good advice.

[@cjtrules1]

Exactly what I was thinking too.

[@smerk429]

Exactly. Plus walking with a camera makes it worse ? They probably think anybody with a camera is recording how most people don't know what they have, so they get defensive sometimes ? But thank you for all the fun videos brother. Nothing beats the thrill of the hunt. 👍

[@shawndardbarbarbarian5061]

Nice video, a few decades ago I took a dozen long boxes to our local flea market for 4 weekends in a row in hopes to unload my crap books, sold them 2 for a dollar. In a month I sold only half the boxes. The reason I stayed a month was was you got half off your booth if you committed for a month. Made about 800$ clear. All the books were basically free, When I was young I worked at 1 of 2 comic stores in Vegas for a decade, and the way the owner paid me was in Comics, so for 10 years I never paid for a new book. I started at 10$ a day, got up to 30$ a day after a few years and began running to store. What a fun job to have as a kid, as I became an adult I maxed out at 30$ in books a prime rib dinner every night and all the weed I could smoke. Good times!!

[@geneblount1291]

Love Flea Markets...Thanks for sharing your Hunt!!

[@robbijohnson6983]

I recently bought a bunch of Warren publications from the 1970's they included, Creepy, Erie, Vampiirella and Marvel Monsters plus some really sweet Skywald Psycho magazines and a Doc Savage # 1.

[@theonepugonepug4707]

I kinda get tired of people have items up for sale you pick thru then they dont want to sell. Great vid kinda shows the real world of hunting.

[@deepdivecomics]

Those were the best set of comics and slabs I've at a flea market. I have had zero luck but will continue to hunt at flea markets

[@redarrow884]

Imagine bringing those books to a flea market just to give them a little of fresh air, not selling. 😄😄

[@SuperMoleRetro]

That guy wanted someone to pick out all the good books so he wouldn't have to figure it out himself. I had that happen a few times. $1 bin books turn into not for sale books.

[@Utubesanarc]

Yea true but is it a smart thing to do??🤔😺

[@Crunch_Buttsteak]

@@Utubesanarc smart/scummy

[@gregpragel3358]

Could not believe 1st Mephisto & 2nd galactus at a flea market. - Thank YOU !!!

[@cjtrules1]

... and the guy refused to sell them. smh

[@waynewatts3814]

Gotta thank you man. You've motivated me to go hunting more than i use to. Today i find 2 issues each of venom 1, 2 and 3 1sr print for 5$ a piece. All look mint. Gonna pay it forward. A friend got me back into collecting about 2 years ago so I'm gonna hook him up cheap on one. Thanks again man. Keep it comics.

[@jromins9155]

Hey atleast it wasn't all rainy and a crappy day like the last flea market lol. Great pick ups.

[@paulfaria6039]

I love taking the time to pick at flea markets

[@randyslone918]

Great friggin books. All I see at the flea markets I go to is candles and bad paintings.🤣🤣🤣🤣.

[@mikeyknoles]

That dude is definitely gonna reprice those books he didn’t want to sell. 😆

[@antr7493]

I can't believe that guy that didn't sell to you. At least he could have separated the ones he didn't want to sell.

[@jasonw3479]

Man... What a shame that guy wouldn't sell. Those were some good books.

[@dirtywayz1178]

I am a Spider-man fanatic. Venom, Carnage, Miles Morales Spider-man, and Spawn these are my top five

[@kyndakind]

No take-backs once it's in the sale box!

[@bxboxer1231]

Nice pulls at a flea market. Thanks for letting us tag along. Stay well and keep it comics.

[@comicdogz6650]

I dig your haul videos. I have been working on some myself.

[@kieronball8962]

Gary, I'm very jealous of even your small flea market, ( that sells comic books ) especially when I saw the graded books. Interesting that one particular dealer refused to sell to you, because I doubt he's going to get better offers on those books, as they looked very low grade. But I'm glad you found something, to make the journey worthwhile.

[@AdoriRatGal]

Flea market hunting is satisfying because finding even the smallest prize makes you feel like a treasure hunter!

[@FinnRoche420]

Not bad! Nice Spider-man comics!

[@ericsetzer7599]

Nice video . Keep up the great work

[@dallasanderson7637]

Awesome hunt!

[@jeanmalo7173]

Flea markets are always fun to go to, we have a decent size one near where I live, see you tonight Gary...be safe and keep it comics!

[@jomehi6863]

Like the content of your channel... 1st time watching.

[@T-RavisComics]

Always love digging for books at flea markets

[@AnachronicComics]

Have been to Storyville hunting for comics. Hot or miss but nice to do on a beautiful day. Not so much when it rains.

[@bucketdrummer5098]

Here is my proven flea market comic buying technique. Make a sign "I buy comics" on both sides and hold it up as you walk. Dealers that have comics and know nothing about them will chase you down. Sometimes they have them tucked away, or even in storage. Now, you get first dibs on an collection. Dealers that know comics will fear you!!

[@raiderbear1]

Awesome work mate

[@robroszk]

Yeah, in IL we seem to have comic vendors like the guy who SUDDENLY decides he won't sell his comics because you happen to be recording the session on video like he's giving something away too valuable!! I have been actually kicked out of stores for doing what you did because i simply am not afraid to NEGOTIATE. These guys think that the guide prices for a 9.8 apply to their less than VG comic books...it's hilarious!​

[@richardyanchus2907]

Gary great video as always. My wife and I may try this flea market next year after your info on this one. It was crazy that one seller didn't want to sell his books. Keep up the great work.

[@SegaSaturnGamer48]

Nice video man! :)

[@michaeljoseph4936]

guy who wouldn't sell his comics ? That was funny ! 😂. Been going to Stormville myself for years. Nice pick ups once again !

[@TheUSACoolBoy]

Haven't been to a flea market in months, never got lucky snagging any major keys but have found some gems. Can't WAIT to get back out there!

[@joeybags21]

Wish the flea markets around me would open up again. But got a good laugh at the guy who brings comics to sell and is like, nah I think I will keep those. Must have recognized you and was like I’m not going to lose out on these.

[@jimbartram9331]

Pretty good hunt! Beautiful weather! Thanks for sharing with us!

[@paul-norsemgr9263]

Nice haul. I hate venders who just want to show off the crap they’re selling. Such a waste

[@garybthecasualcomicguy5136]

Good day out with a buddy and comics! Sounds like a great time! Glad you found some things to take home.

[@chcomics7045]

That was a pretty nice looking flea market! I’ve gone looking at a few near me but I’ve never seen slabs there! Cool finds!

[@VinGeeVids]

Nice - Stormville is 25min from me. Didn’t realize they’d opened. I might swing by this weekend and look through your leftovers!

[@godmode1515]

Love your videos Gary! Always a pleasure watching them.

[@karlburkhardt9902]

Flea Market hunting is where I've had my best finds. I'm fortunate to have several good flea markets within a 45 minute radius of me in Pa.

[@harmenbreedeveld8026]

Hi Gary, thanks for the video,fun to watch and I am learning always a ton from you. I am from the Netherlands, so it is harder for me to hunt: there are very few LCS, flea markets with comics and the like. But, two days ago I found a comic shop online with three comics that I was able to buy at cover price and less: 1st Galactus Lifebringer, House of M 1 the sought after variant and, for about 3 dollar, Hawkeye 9 2nd print variant, the sought after Aja copy. I am awaiting the package, here is hoping for a good quality. I would never have been able to spot these gems without people like you sharing your knowledge. Thanks for helping me with the hunt! :-)

[@Chindianstyle21]

Cool Hunt episode:).. I found a rare comic book while diggin deeeeep:)))

[@RememberTheGreatsSports]

As a fellow flea market thrifter I have never seen graded comics at a flea market, The moment I saw those I knew I probably wouldn't be able to buy anything for cheap. But that's why I am a cheapie when it comes to thrifting for deals. Great Video thanks for sharing and Happy Collecting!

[@murda7740]

Good video man. People that bring items to sell and then don't should just stay home.

[@stevenberklund1281]

Berkfamily54comics here at work - great video Gary! Awesome books! Sorry to hear you weren't able to buy the books he had out. Great stuff!

[@HeadiCannabass]

Great video! I'm glad you had better luck at this flea market than the last one.

[@Turtlepower1982]

Nice little finds. Never seen a slab at a flea market before

[@frankiesallust6034]

I would of been mad as heck if after you spend time picking out what you want and the seller is no not selling them, what in the blue hell. Solid show!!!!

[@grey3304]

Great video! There will come a day when I have the knowledge to know what I’m looking for, but today is not that day haha. Also that guy not selling is bulsh, he’s a Doomis...

[@slotitup5039]

Love me a good flea market! That guy was a douche..look at my comics but no buying lol

[@charliecole9529]

The first red flag was "I haven't gone through those yet." Wasn't surprised at all that you guys had to walk away.

[@chocolateking1143]

@charlie cole I sorta believe it because Aquaman 1 is over $200 dollars even in ugly condition. Lol it wouldn’t be in a cheap bin anyone can just grab.

[@ricardomadan9815]

Great video! Thanks for doing these hunting videos. I haven't been able to go treasure hunting in far too long

[@StonedHeros]

Love a good flea market, hit one at a church last Sunday Gary and came up on my spawn fill, guy had about 25 books between 160-200 and came up on .50cent boxes for some X-men that I needed. Keep the content coming👍🏼

[@timdixon3391]

I love to find beat up comics to read at these

[@danonmel]

Thanks for all the videos. Im new to comics and i have learned a ton from your video's.

[@danielharvel1217]

Next time you drive really far south to pick up a collection, you should look for flea markets. There are a ton of great ones down south (VA,NC,SC)

[@billybarnett2846]

Why would you bring all those voice to a flea market and set up a table to not sell? That's crazy. The best Spiderman cards are the ones with Mark Bagley art.

[@Utubesanarc]

Mark was great...also like pat oliffes spiderman

[@dirtywayz1178]

Definitely want the Spider-man cards

[@robbijohnson6983]

That MAN-THING comic would be an awesome score.

[@halfdrawnpe]

Great video. Sucks that dude decided not to sell his "best comics". Why would he keep comics he's not willing to part with in long boxes with all his other comics?

[@rafe496]

I think I found our way in, lol. I enjoy these type of videos.

[@jimchurchsr2860]

Wow -would have been nice to get the silver surfer-but ow well, maybe next time

[@Darkjay31]

Gary, I have all 12 of those McFarlane Era Prism cards (6 from the first series and 6 from the second). Are they actually worth anything these days? I've had them in hard plastic shells since the day I pullled them from the original packs.

[@bennettbennettsb]

Thanks for the video pretty cool... Even though the flea market was half empty it was still better than anything around my place. Can't believe the guy tells you he doesn't want to sell the comics what a joke.

[@larrycoker8093]

I wish there was a flea market near me that had some cool books like those you found bro. I went to a local one last weekend and the best book I found was a Demon #10 in 2.0/2.5 condition for $20! What a joke. Anyway, good luck next time.

[@Tchandler52988]

When I used to find stuff I would mask them but grabbing a hand full of books I think look cool but are just filler and mix the keys in with them. Ask for a price for the stack and sometimes you get away for cheap. I got the ASM 300 for $7 that way once .

[@theonepugonepug4707]

If you are ok with doing that to people. I try to pay a fair price for stuff do they to RIP them off unless I get agutfeelingthey did that to someone else.

Theonepug Onepug I’ve been screwed enough by people over pricing stuff. If you aren’t going to look through yo inventory and then expect me to pay extra after I found something you didn’t even realize you had I’ll be walking away. Simple as that. The ASM was back in 2015, it is around a 6.5 on a good day. Back then I wouldn’t have paid more than $30 for it. It’s not like this was yesterday.
