Sorry, I just read your post and it came across sounding like "someone tried to sell me drugs" or "someone tried to get me in their car".

My advice, haggle! It's a flea market. If you don't like the price, gather a few items in your mind you want to buy, offer a lower price on one. When they decline say "OK, throw in title X and I'll give a bit more money." Go back and forth until you get to price you are willing to pay. Have fun with it and remember in that environment; everything is negotiable.

Re: Why do flea market vendors price so much!!!!
We've only really got one flea market here in town and it's pretty much just a retro game market. But everything is crazy expensive. An unboxed copy of Contra will cost you 30 bucks. There is a lot of demand for it though, so they can get away with it.
