He doesn't post here much anymore, but I thought I'd show his jaw-dropping $10 purchase at the Raleigh NC flea market:

Heck, I'd have given $10 for the empty bag.

Oh, but he didn't get any camera with it:p


Somehow, people in the North of Holland were even less interested in photography than the general Dutchman.

Best thing I have ever found on a flea market were Yashica GS or GSN cameras, never even a black GT or GTN.

Once I picked up a Rolleiflex SL26 (http://www.camerapedia.org/wiki/Rolleiflex_SL26) camera, which is an interchangeable lenses SLR for 126 pack film on a flea market. But, that was at one of the islands that is close to the western provinces in The Netherlands.

I've given up hope on deals like SepiaReverbs USD20 Leica-M with lens at a furniture store...:eek:

That is something else. Congratulaions to the Captain. I can't remember the last time he posted here.

That's the fun of flea markets and junk stores.

My best is a pair of Leica III's with lenses for $15 each, a Rollei 35TE for $15, and a Nikon M for $30.

Wow. I used to go to the flea market side-by-side with Captain Slack some time ago; never saw anything like his deal or yours. Amazing what people find.

I better start looking for a fleamarket in my area. My feeling is that fleamarkets located close to a large city have better hits.
