seriously any good flea market freak finds in europe?
Hi,
I spend a lot of Sundays at flea markets in and around Bonn and still haven't found that 25-euro U47 whose owner is completely oblivious to its real value....
But seriously, here in Germany eBay has pretty much destroyed the potential for freak finds. The upside is that prices for old gear are a bit more consistent now because of it. A few weeks ago at a flea market someone offered me an ancient Hohner Organa for € 160. Luckily I didn't buy it, as some eBay research revealed that the going price is more like € 50 - there's hundreds of them on eBay!
However, if you're after old-timey house decoration or hobbyist stuff, i.e. vintage furniture, old advertsing plaques, pre-war printed matter, this sort of stuff, you'll love some of the flea markets over here.
Cheers,
Recky
