September 2026: Flea Market Roaming next year will mark 60 years of driving. My parents did not drive. (A story for another time.) After I learned to drive, we would go to various farmers’ markets and flea markets. As I said before, I have seen the rise and fall of various markets. I have found some great items and missed great items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year has been rough. Competition has been high, and not a lot of good material is out at the markets. Still, I look at the flea markets as a chance to walk around and enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

September 2026: Flea Market Roaming Surprises<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"September<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I was walking at my regular Saturday flea market when I found this space vehicle in the bag.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"September<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The space men are ones we’ve seen before. The price was only $2.00. I had gone one dollar over, and then the vendor said that was enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"September<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The same vendor had a bag of figures for a dollar and told me You can have it as well. The only figures found in the bag later were Britains Herald British army kneeling firing and an Auburn cannon. I will keep the Britains figures and give a friend the cannon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"September<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At another stand, I find a Marx flat-blue-mounted Union figure. The dealer has no other Marx pieces. I also found the SWAT figure at the same table. The Valiant Miniatures metal cowboy I found at another table and will add him to my Western setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"September<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At the table, I found the Marx figure; I found these four figures. The two on either end are by Imaginext. The one on the left is a knight, while the one on the right is from their Pirates of the Caribbean<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another Flea Market<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"MPC<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I did a flea market I had not done in a long time and found this steel blue MPC Jeep. I asked the dealer how much; he said $.45. In the next breath, he said five for a dollar. I picked out four more items<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"More<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I found a few more odd figures at the market. The only one I know about is the Imaginext Pirates of the Caribbean figure. The other two I have no idea who they are. The only other figure I got was a Nabisco Clipper from Sky King. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
