Other things you look for at flea markets/garagesales?

I look for video game toys and colored glass items care bear and cookie monster stuff pretty much anything that catches my eye

[SwooshBear]

I normally look for books and CDs. Those two and video games are like a grand trio for all my finds.

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

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

Actually, I just checked out the prices on Amazon, and they aren't worth as much as they used to be. Those Rocko season sets have really brought down the prices of the old Rocko tapes.

LP records, transformers, action figures, time life books/ books in general, comics, manga, dvds.

I know a guy from work that specifically looks for sports clothing. Old hats, jerseys, jackets stuff like this. He says that stuff from the early 90's in good condition can be resold on ebay for a good profit.

He buys old team hats, cleans them, makes them look nice. He says theres a market for it, cause sports stuff is worth money and theres a type of childhood nostalgia factor with it.

He told me he sold an old San Jose Sharks hat (ebay) for about 30 bucks! And he bought it for about $2.00

But thats the nice thing about fleamarkets, there's something for everyone!

Mostly antique Carnival Glass and antique Japanese Pottery. However, I'm also in the hunt for vintage Playboy magazine covers, in the "pin-up" style. I think framed, the covers would look great in my mens club/game room.

Old art materials. I have had pretty good luck picking up Rotring technical pens, many of which are unused, for very cheap prices (considering buying one in a shop here is going to set you back around $70.00). I actually fill them up and use them for artwork, and there is simply nothing like them.

Cameras (got a polaroid yesterday for $4.00) and old film

Books - Hardcover military books with pictures, war photography, diagrams/photos of tanks especially. At the moment I collect this series of books about dogs:

(they look awesome on a shelf)

Toys, Badges, Nicolas Cage movies, the odd board game, all sorts of crap.
