[Hide] (545.5KB, 1130x863) Went to a vintage and collectibles market on the weekend.
this place was huge, ok? I went all by myself and it still took 2 and a half hours to get through every stall.
They had shit stacked from floor to ceiling there was just sooo much stuff squeezed into every little space possible.
Every now and again you could heard someone knocking into something. Thank god Im just dumb and not full downie because if I had that extra chromosome and extra ass, I would have been knocking things over left, right and centre they were that tight
It was so tight to navigate some stalls I had to walk around them with my shoulders and arms squeezing together so I wouldnt accidentally bump into something and knock it over.
Anyways, there was a pretty good range of stuff. Heaps of toys, car related items, signs, records/CDs, beer/soda bottles, tools, clothing, videogames, cameras, misc memorbilla (or however you say it) and everything in between.
There were even some war items like old shells and helmets.
sadly no small CRT that I would like to have. In fact there was only one TV in the entire place and it looked like something from the 1950s.
Price wise, most things seemed a bit more expensive than what you would find online, but the advantage at the market is you could see with your own human eyeballs what sort of condition they were in and you dont have to pay shipping.
This place also does a live auction as well, but it was on earlier in the day before I arrived so unfortunately I missed it. Ive never been to an auction for items that were not slaves so it would have been interesting to see what special items they have up for auction.
ok onto the puctures...
There was a surprising amount of M&M memeobrilla, including the big M&M guy that Ashley shows in her room tour her video. though hers looked brown for some odd reason....
You cant see it clearly on the photo, but on the tag of the M&M phone it says "AF" which I assume stands for As Found, meaning they dont know if it does or doesnt work.
I tried getting a photo of the radio alarm clock thats in the glass case but the lights reflecting off the glass obscured it and also Im black so of course security was giving me the sussy stare smh smh so I had to move on.
I dont remember how much the Ronald McDonald on the left was, probably around $50. It has a zip that you can undo. Its probably just a small pouch to store stuff in sadly, and not his bare chest complete with realistic bright red chest hair.
No price on the Beavis and Butthead patch and also I came across another Ronald. It was kind of like the middle one but more like the size of the left Ronald.
Oh yeah, when I was exiting one stall, I looked up and saw a Paul Hogan Show on VHS and instantly laughed to myself and thought of Seabee no homo
The Canon digital camera felt like it was made of solid steel. Picking it up I was surprised by the weight of it (apparently this model is pretty good, so it might be worth more than the tag).
The blue cassette recorder looked great but even in A++++condition, it was a bit high in price for me. Similar thing with the Hanimax cassette tape and TV. That would be a lot of fun to play with but I would probably get bored of it too quickly for something at that price. It says it does works though.
The Super 8 camera had no tag or anything on it. It was just simply on a shelf. So I had no clue if it worked or was lacking parts or whatever. Plus, please dont kill me Antiques Guy, but its kinda embarrassing to admit that when I was there i didnt know what it was.
Like yeah, its a camera of some sort but I hadnt ever seen one like this before. I only found out what it was because I looked it up when I got home. Next time when i go back i might ask if I can buy it for like
$10
There was also a Garfield bum bag, but it looked pretty new. Oh and some stalls had the odd bit of newly made items that you could easily just find in any toy shop, like a Funko Pop for example
Anyways, this place was huge, free to get in and had lots of stuff. Had a great time and will go back again.
ALSO whilst there, I saw a tranny for the first time in my life.
I was looking around and noticed someone kinda odd and was like hey is that person wearing a wig? and then i noticed the broad shoulders. They turned around and sure enough it was clearly a man in makeup with a wig on and a dress. He was with another guy as well, he was wearing a trench coat.
The end.
