Title: Decent flea market G1 haul.
Post by: Rainbrodash on August 04, 2018, 05:54:14 PM: Took a trip over to Canton, TX today to check out the First Monday Trade Days (AKA "World's largest flea market") this is a once a month event that can bring together up to 100k people to the town in a single weekend.

I spent about seven hours on the grounds and ended up with this modest haul. Not too bad, but definitely a lot of "leg work" for what I did find as the entire complex is about 100 acres total space.

Pics are as I found them and none had been cleaned up as of yet. Overall only cost me about $15 to bag all of them. If you're ever in the area I recommend checking it out if only to say you've been.

How did I do? Note that I'm not a collector myself, just a hunter for my wife.

It was so kind of you to go pony hunting for your wife! You will definitely be in the good books for a while :D :D LOL

Post by: chateaushelton on August 21, 2018, 10:07:38 AM: My husband always says, "Don't you have enough of them yet?" so he would never go looking for ponies for me.

Congrats on a great find and making your Mrs happy :)
