Fantastic Vintage Finds at the St. Germain Flea Market in Northern Wisconsin

In this episode I'm at the St. Germain Flea Market in the Wisconsin northwoods. I stumble across an exciting vintage marine find from the 1940's; also, old tools, trucker hats, and lots of other antique and vintage pieces of interest. At the end of the video I provide some general information about the St. Germain Flea Market and offer up my two cents about my experience there. This video is part of a roadtrip series leading up to my journey down the 600 Mile - Highway 127 - World's Longest Yard Sale!

Matt just found your channel, like the pace the show of prices, and the information on similar items. Good job.

[@switchbackmatt]

Thanks William! Really appreciate your support!

I like your video of Flea Markets as I have been haunting them for over 40 years. Like the pace you are moving too. I am assuming you are an Ebayer by the stuff you are picking up and you keep showing items on Ebay.

Crazy how high some of those tools were priced in the first half of the video. Some of those people were looking at ebay and then doubling the sold prices. I buy and sell at flea and antique markets in California with $150 vendor fees and you don't see prices like that. You got a good price on that sail though. She should have done a few minutes of research on that. Great stuff, but a lot of antique-store-on-Main-street prices. Next time somebody gives me grief for pricing high, I'll tell them to check out Wisconsin.

[@switchbackmatt]

Yeah, pretty high which discourages potential buyers, but of coarse some sellers will mark it high and come way down. Man, I love the sail! But I’m still not sure what it’s worth. No idea really.

Hey just saw the title to this video and saw you were in WI. I'm in WI as well, I'm in Kimberly, essentially Appleton

[@switchbackmatt]

Cool! Yeah, I love it up there but my home is Arizona. I try to get up there as often as possible. Have family up that way.

Loved seeing those old catchers mitts!! I collect that stuff it killed me to see you sit it back down haha. Great videos, new subscriber. Anytime you see that early baseball stuff show the camera I’d love to see it even if I can’t obtain it.

[@Vic-yj9ys]

I wanted to see the action figures :(

[@switchbackmatt]

Me too ...if they're old. Two years earlier at this same flea market I found a case of '77 and '78 Star Wars action figures in vintage Darth Vader case! It was awesome! $15!!!

[@kiwibob223]

What on earth will you do with sail?

[@switchbackmatt]

I'm open to suggestions!! 🤷‍♂️ Haha

@@switchbackmatt my first pair of big boy pants were hand made out of an old canvas sail by my Nan. I remember being in a real rage when my mum wouldn't let me wear them to school. That was a very very long time ago.
