I've been to a LOT of flea markets. Sure, there are a few nice tidbits there,
but it'll be years before the guy gets a large part of $3000 back, if ever. Most
guys I've seen bring boxes and boxes of transformers and capacitors and maybe
sell a couple at $1 to $3 each and wind up lugging them home again. Anything
with house numbers is essentially unsalable. Often they just get left by the
trash barrels.
