Other things you look for at flea markets/garagesales?

Other than video game things, what do you look for?

I usually scope out paintings, golf clubs and not much else. I'd be interested to hear what you guys look for to get some ideas.

I suppose any antique that I think would be worth something could be fair game.

Board games, bear traps...

Mugs, toys (preferably video game related), cool shirts, that's about it.

I always check for old Nickelodeon VHS tapes. Some of those old things are worth like $10.

Anything Buffy related. I actually just picked up some really cool root beer cans from '98 with Xander, Giles, and the Slayer herself on them last week. God, I love that show... I actually have a pretty decent amount of merch/comics/novels/etc. now.

I'll also look for any horror/sci-fi B-movies on DVD/VHS, but lately only pick 'em up if I'm able to score 'em really cheap. I'm trying to avoid being a hoarder.

Random old-school type stuff, and sometimes sports cards.

You can buy things at flea markets that aren't video games? When did this happen?

Wow. A guy could retire flipping a couple dozen of those.

Comic books. That's about it other than video games. And I'm mostly looking for 70s, 80s, & 90s Marvel and DC Comics. I've been buying regular weekly issues for the entire 2000s and I can't afford anything 1960s or earlier. In particular I look for Green Lantern, Superman, JLA, Superman, Shazam, Avengers, Spider-Man, Venom, & Ghost Rider.

If I happen upon a movie, book, or CD (or even the occasional action figure) I've been really wanting, I'll pick it up, but I can't really say I'm on the lookout for them.

barely ever visit any, but when I do I always scope out for Tiki mugs.
