Greatest Finds at A Flea Market

Postby n/a5 » Sat Feb 12, 2005 10:06 am

Probably been done before but I wanted to share my moment today:

Found Original U2 Pride 45 in decent condition for 50 cents. When I went to London last year some SOB was asking $50 for it!

Colin Hayes Hold Me 45 for the same price.

I had them already but wanted to save them from the heap. I have done the same for Cactus World News albums back in the early 90's when Caldor relegated them to the bargain bin....heck I must have brought 4 copies of it.

Whenever I go to Cincinnati to visit friends, we always take a trip to the flea markets up the freeway between Cincy and Dayton. We always find the weirdest stuff there, and usually for 25 cents each. I've found a few CDs at these places, including:

Our local Meijer (combo grocery/KMart type store) had 2 dollar cutout CDs from Redd Kross, Shonen Knife and Laibach.

A couple years ago I found the CD version of "The Other Ones" for $2. It was an original version from the late 80's. You can always tell when it has the A-A-D label on the cover somewhere. In the 80's when CD's were first coming into being, they'd slap

Got 'Certain Sculptures' by A Drop In The Gray at a second hand store in a Detroit suburb while on a business trip. Cost maybe a buck.
