1950 Marx tin skyscraper $500 used with accessories

[@fleabittenadventures]

Pretty sure this one was missing the accessories. I figured it was worth a lot though.

[@Jeremy-k2p]

Contra was my favorite on nes

[@fleabittenadventures]

Oh yeah, I'll keep an eye out for that.

[@margaret.sc918]

Saw soooo many of those Dalton head mugs at Brimfield!

[@fleabittenadventures]

They always remind me of that Amazing Stories episode from the 1980's with Mark Hamill.

[@donaldperson948]

I know basically 1800’s to 1970’s stuff that’s valuable!

[@donaldperson948]

That’s a cool place to go!

[@alfonsoalfonso647]

You should've asked price on the Goodyear plaque. Likely Scarce.

[@fleabittenadventures]

I was a little put off by the gold paint, but I'll ask if it's there next time.

[@alfonsoalfonso647]

@@fleabittenadventures I recently saw one exactly like it, for $1200!

[@malcolmharing3744]

Haha! If I had a nickle 😊 I've never seen you buy so many things in one place. Nice work! Btw, my mom had one of the ceramic Christmas trees, but my sister got it.

[@fleabittenadventures]

Yes, I found a LOT of stuff this time around! Hopefully, I'll get one of the ceramic Christmas Trees this year. Thanks for wartching.

[@ratboy4169]

awesome flea market, there's two types of flea markets the "covered in dust" & "wrapped in plastic", one is old stuff or antiques & the other is new stuff. I miss going to the covered in dust flea market & I'm interested in the Action Comics boxes, not a comic book collector but I do collect shirts.

[@DiscardedToys]

Bump n Jump for the NES is a fun racing game

[@fleabittenadventures]

Cool. I'll keep an eye out for it

[@donaldperson948]

I would take the ice cream stuff iand the milkshake machine

[@RichRetr0]

So here's a short list of NES games that I would recommend off the top of my head. Batman Ducktales Mega Man (all of them pretty good but the 2nd one is my favorite) Gradius or Lifeforce River City Ransom Castlevania Metroid (the original is good but tough) Crystalis (similar to Legend of Zelda) Blaster Master Adventure of LoLo

[@fleabittenadventures]

Thanks!

[@Madness832]

I have a couple of Betamax decks.

[@fleabittenadventures]

Do they work? That's the question.

[@donaldperson948]

Ya if I kept every car I had I would have a great collection by now!

[@4minuty_]

Witam. Bardzo fajne oraz ciekawe udostępnienie. Miłego dnia życzę

[@fleabittenadventures]

Thanks.

[@deboramccallum3987]

Ceramic trees go for much more good find

[@fleabittenadventures]

Yes, I found that out later. Other flea markets were asking at least $75 or more.

[@donaldperson948]

I would have taken the lunet lander picture

[@cdcVintage]

Do you recall a media formate, not betabax, but it was the size of a 33 vinyl record and about 1/2 inch thick. I saw it for the first and last time at a friends house in 1984. What is that format called?

[@custodianken435]

Video disc

[@huntercatalcazar3728]

Laser Disc format??

[@custodianken435]

I believe so. Yes

[@cdcVintage]

Ken had it right. I saw a youtube video of someone who got an RCA player at a thrift store and he played a movie. The disks are huge!

[@fleabittenadventures]

Yes, CED and VideoDisc (I think they looked similar, but were actually two different formats???). They were kind of like a Laser Disc in a cartridge.

[@TheBargainBoxer]

Actually, it’s “if I had a nickel for every time he said, “I have that”, then I’d be a millionaire”…..it’s a drinking game, too. Take a shot every time you say, “I’ve got that”……..

[@fleabittenadventures]

Same idea.

[@zambitiber1394]

April 7th is a weather event. Solar eclipse.

[@donaldperson948]

Should have taken all6 bottles and look for a metal 6 pk holder!

[@donaldperson948]

All I know about computer stuff is buy old apple systems! The earliest computers you can buy! Wortyup to 200k especially the 1sr 3 computers!

[@donaldperson948]

That orange mining loader was worth 300. .00

[@jeffreyjaros5924]

Legend of Zelda....the original....perhaps the best game ever made....lol

[@fleabittenadventures]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@jimjones308]

If the condition is VG+ or EXC on a metal lunchbox you're not going to get hurt paying up a little. Almost all of them were absolutely abused by kids, and then tack on 40 years of storage, condition is going to be a big issue with a lot of them. Especially look out for rust INSIDE the box, a lot of leaky thermoses and spilled juice boxes. Actually rots right through. I'm grabbing every interesting metal box even if its a tiny bit overpriced. They are def. not getting any easier to find.

[@fleabittenadventures]

Good points! I'm ok with a little wear, but rust and big dents or peeling stickers on the plastic ones are a no-go for me.

[@davidconnell4634]

Christmas trees are a good deal . Homemade ?

[@donaldperson948]

If you’re kid went to school with a old lunchbox they would tease you or beat you up

[@rajkiranboggala7085]

Thanks for sharing! How frequently they open this market? May I know the schedule of it?

[@SerrenhoRetro]

It’s open every Sunday through September I believe

[@thomasflynn5366]

@@SerrenhoRetro I've been there in December. It all depends on the weather. They should open in April but again they look at the weather to decide. I can't wait.

[@rajkiranboggala7085]

@@SerrenhoRetro perfect, thank you! I’ll visit soon. Reminds me of Sunday market I used to go in England!

[@rajkiranboggala7085]

[@fleabittenadventures]

Opening day is April 7 and it seems to go to the end of November or early December, depending on the weather. Thanks for watching.

[@donaldperson948]

Shit I watched beta movies all the time! We had a machine before the new stuff came along!

[@christophernutter9742]

i watched beta recorded movies starwars in the 1980,s

[@fleabittenadventures]

Cool! I just never had access to them. I would have if I did.

[@huntercatalcazar3728]

FJFFTA's Fresh just fallen from the tree apples.🤢👎

[@fleabittenadventures]

Yeah, I'll pass, but like I said, I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and say that maybe they're good.
