Me and my wife went to a flea market in Illinois today and did we get a deal. Bought the following pieces, Bodie, NC, Fire Island, NY, Lorain, OH and Hunting Island, SC for $30.00 each. They all had the boxes and paperwork. So I guess that there are things to found at the Flea Market.

I would imagine walking into a flea market or a yard sale (which I do quite often) and finding Harbour lights (which I never find) for sale at great prices (or any price)is something all of us would like to find. Congratulations on your great find and your 100th post. Keep us posted on great finds and keep those posts coming.

Congratulations John and Karen! I think this is a first! Has anyone ever seen Harbour Lights for sale at a flea market? Not me! Great deal also!

In my fantasy life I go to a yard sale and find Portland Head and Cape Neddick LE's at or below retail. I'm hoping this fantasy becomes reality someday, but I'm not holding my breath! cool Terry

Congrats you lucky, lucky Wackos! I always go to the Flea Market, but I just see the usual flea market junk, you know what I mean - the black & white (or red & white) striped lighthouse that looks like a cross between Cape Hatteras and the Leaning Tower of Piza! The ones that make your eyes hurt just looking at it. Of course these are the gifts everyone always wants to buy you because they "know" how you like lighthouses. I have a couple of those, I hate them, but they were either given to me by my parents or my step-children so I have to keep them out so they don't feel bad. I assure you though, if my house was burning, I'd save the Harbour Lights first and foremost! :p

You sure were lucky! Maybe you should play the lottery while your luck holds out. By the way, want to go shopping with me some time? laugh
