Since many of us look forward to the flea market all week long, I figured I'd start a separate thread to discuss it. I just got back from mine, and there was slim pickings this time. About a third of the stalls were empty, and I only found one pony in the entire place. She's a Walgreens fakie, but she's cute. Very pale yellow, with pink hair and fireworks as her symbol. So....are you going to the flea market? Did you just get back? Talk about it! EDIT: Second-hand stores and garage sales apply too!

I wish I was! We don't have flea markets here. ;_; Garage sales are the closest I get.

Well it was raining. It's stopped and looks like it's getting SUNNIER. *sigh* I was REALLY wanting to go today and KNOW I can find ponies there. And was soooo stoked. I don't know if anybody will be set up since it was raining earlier. But I'm going to make my husband drive by to check. If I can get him to wake up. And if not - we're going to thrift stores/indoor flea markets - that we HAVEN'T been to yet (hopefully!). It's a good thing I have a husband that loves this stuff as much as I do!

Hmm, yeah, sadly I work on Saturdays and Sundays, no flea markets for me. I make stops at my thrift stores through out the week though.

I'm hitting the Goodwill today! Wish me luck. I usually can only find "legit" ponies there, but I've managed to score fakies, too.

Good lord our world is crazy in this ebay age. I've had to walk away from ponies cuz the sellers wanted more money than they're worth~ Sometimes I get lucky, but I have to haggle a lot to get a decent price.

I got four new fakies at the Goodwill today! Yay for cheap toy bins.
I only want to keep one of them, though. Later when I find my camera cord (that has gone mysteriously AWOL) I'll post photos of the other three. <3
EDIT: Oh, and of course the one I'm keeping, heehee.

Cool!
I don't think my Goodwill even has a toy section. It's been kind of a while since I went in there, though, since I prefer Saver's. I'll check one of these days.
