Hugemongous Flea Market. One Purchase.
I mentioned in my last post that I planned on going to the world’s largest flea market in Canton, Texas. Well, I went a couple weeks ago, and was both overwhelmed and underwhelmed. The size of the flea market was staggering. But what was more surprising was the ridonculous amount of garbage that people were selling. From the standpoint of tools, I found that 80% of the tools were covered in rust, 10% were too ordinary to even bother looking at, 5% were grossly overpriced and 5% were worth consideration. (Of course, there are some of you who would take a more serious look at the rusty stuff.)
