[@domn415]

Thank you. Tom, for the first part of Brimfield Sept 2024....Looking forward to your other parts.... Happy hunting!

[@fleabittenadventures]

Thanks!

[@shannonyoast6906]

As always great video 👍

[@fleabittenadventures]

Thanks!

[@malcolmharing3744]

If your videos of flea market hunting were an hour long it would be fine with me! The time flies so I would enjoy them at an hour 😊

[@fleabittenadventures]

I appreciate it! Thanks for watching!

[@misfitpezhead6178]

Good morning Tom

[@fleabittenadventures]

Good morning!

[@blueberrycinnamonbun1947]

AH! A fellow Brimfield Uranium glass hunter! You know things are going down when you hear those flashlights clicking lol

[@fleabittenadventures]

Yes! Thanks for watching!

[@conniemiller1883]

What a great time! Would be fun to attend it. I would fill my shopping fast. 😊

[@fleabittenadventures]

It's great! I could easily empty my wallet there if I wasn't careful!

[@umrmech84]

My wife and I were there on Thursday and Friday. I give you a lot of credit for having the patience to go through those booths. Some were incredibly orderly. Some looked like the guys had backed up a dump truck.

[@blueberrycinnamonbun1947]

Omg though sometimes the dump truck guys have cool stuff dirt cheap. You just gotta get your hands dirty!

[@fleabittenadventures]

Yes, the ones that are totally a mess usually have hidden gems because the sellers sometimes don't even know what they are selling.

[@DiscardedToys]

I love those cereal prizes of mini license plates - the Big Apple [5:10]

[@mgratk]

Great video Tom. For some reason the comment on the 80s stegosaurus bank not being that old reminded me of a meme I saw earlier today. Marty McFly went from 1985 to 1955. For us in 2024, that would be like going back to 1994. Anyone feel really old now?! I think I'd call that frame with the dried flower diorama-type thing a shadow box frame. I also saw one of those tomato pin cushions that everyone's mom or grandma seemed to have back in the day.

[@fleabittenadventures]

Yes, I agree, "old" is relative, but to me, the 80's is not old. I thought the stegosaurus bank might have been from the 50's or 60's at first.

[@Perfidious_Hollow]

I love whacky packs my parents had a stack from the original 70s series and I loved looking through them as a kid even though I didn't recognize most of the products.

[@fleabittenadventures]

I agree! I still have a bunch in my collection. The 60's and 70's ones are getting harder and harder to find at flea markets though.

[@BreakTime10101]

Tom, I can’t get over how much “stuff” people accumulate over the years. The Glade toilet paper roll thing made me laugh. Did you ever figure out what the Mickey Mouse item was, was it a phone? Great video. We enjoy your videos.

[@fleabittenadventures]

Yeah, the toilet paper roll thing was confusing to me too.... Never found out what the Mickey Mouse thing was... Thanks for watching!

[@295g295]

2:48 - The first Pepsi bottle you handled is newer, than the bottle with a white and red label. My uncle who lived near Louisville, KY, would buy these 16oz return bottles in an 8-pack, into te 1990s. These bottles were gone from the Philadelphia area by the mid-1960s.

[@fleabittenadventures]

Thanks for the info!

[@generalrepair8731]

Tom Hello good morning Tom. I love your content even the malls. I’m not far from this Broomfield flea market. I had one question did you happen to see any heavy grade radio control cars up there? That would be the only reason why I’d go.

[@fleabittenadventures]

Nope. None at all.

[@SouthernVermontVintage]

The one down fall to the Flea Markets, we have been trained to set up before first light, we leave our items out all day through the heat and then leave them overnight. Covered by a tent or plastic our items still get destroyed by moisture. To touch on the uranium glass, many other glass colors also glow, you might find amber, clear, red, etc. ✌🏻💚🙏🏻

[@fleabittenadventures]

Yes, you can tell that a lot of the stuff for sale at these flea markets has been left out in the elements for a VERY long time! I didn't know about the other glass colors glowing too! Thanks.

[@ShrekandDonkeySlayerzGaming]

what day of the week did you go?

[@fleabittenadventures]

Thursday and Friday

[@NoahSmith-gb5go]

What was your favorite thing at this flea market?

[@fleabittenadventures]

Everything!

[@mgratk]

My favorite in this video was the desk lamp at 19:00. Then the 6 Million Dollar Man book. What about you Noah?

[@Bella-zh1me]

What day were you there?

[@fleabittenadventures]

Thursday and Friday. Thanks for watching!

[@777Sammieee]

what fields do you usually go to? What field is this?

[@fleabittenadventures]

I go to pretty much every field. This video was Shelton's and Sturtevant's.

[@mkabel3654]

A perpetual calander

[@fleabittenadventures]

Interesting. I've never heard of one of those before.

[@Thriftypie]

Do you resell?

[@fleabittenadventures]

Not anymore.

[@JoHoward123]

No one gonna comment on the baby head ash tray @1:13 ? 😄

[@fleabittenadventures]

Ha ha. Yeah, there are few vendors that use old doll parts to make things like that. Thanks for watching!

[@monrominee]

I remember when the big draw here was legit antiques... Now it's just regular flea market crap.

[@fleabittenadventures]

Fair enough, but I like regular flea market crap. It's affordable. Thanks for watching.

[@mgratk]

One man's crap is another man's treasure.

[@SouthernVermontVintage]

Was that the Polaroid they claim you can find gold with. 😆 what are folks thoughts on finding gold with a Polaroid. 🤷🏽‍♂️ i saw it on YT.

[@fleabittenadventures]

Never heard of that one before. Thanks for watching!

[@robertabray-enhus3198]

Prices will be high all week! Until Sunday that is. Then you’ll get some bargains! I hope you resell all this stuff,or else I’d hate to see what your house looks like! Bottles like that aren’t worth more than a buck. They’re very common I had a stegosaurus bank like that in the late 60s.

[@AussieOutlaw]

LOOK with Your EYES my Dad always said , there is no need to pick everything up you see, especially when you have no intention of purchasing, THANK YOU Dad for teaching me social etiquette

[@margaret-mure]

😂

[@fleabittenadventures]

If it's a delicate item, I agree, but if it's not delicate, I disagree. Of course I'm going to pick something up to look at it.

[@MeganWard-w1w]

He has to make sure there are no flaws

[@Lanatus]

He did a piss poor job if this is the type of comment he encouraged.

Ask your mom if she would marry me
