I'll run down to the mall, look what Brian just bought.
We were just there 15 minutes ago.
That lamp. Which one did you buy?
I bought the 80's one.
We have a hard time selling lamps.
Oh yeah.
I thought I had a good look.
That's why I have a hundred of them.
That's why you have them?
That's my problem. My dad, when he was alive,
I'd come home, like on a Saturday,
he'd come back for us and they'd be like,
oh, what'd you get today? Because he was interested in it.
He's like, you bought another lamp?
He's like, how many lamps are you going to buy?
Hey Brian!
How are you?
Good, how are you doing?
Good.
Did you have a good day?
Well, 25 for the three?

I feel like they could go in my space stuff too.
I love them. I love them. Yeah, cool.
Where am I going to leave my creepy dolls?
They're so good. I don't know
if I should just touch them and disturb them.
Yeah, I wouldn't put those in the baby's room.
Yeah, that's true.
Oh, yeah, like, who is this guy?

A number of, there's, like, so many doubles.
Oh, yeah.

Okay.
Yeah, you might have to get out of there.
Great, we solve plant problems.
You know, you get plants, and then they just keep growing,
and you're like, stop getting bigger.

Which, what do you think?
I'll do one, two, three, four, probably five.
I'm going to grab one of these.
Five?
Um, I would do 12.
Okay.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
They are heavy duty.
It's almost like you can hang them.
I did 10 for all of them.
Really?
Yeah.
Was this a path to sell together?
I literally was like, will you please use a cup for me?
No.
No.
I can break them up.

On him? No, no, she was concerned about the man.
The tray is 10 bucks. Thank you.
You're welcome. I was checking to see if it was
uh I think, I think it is. You do? I do, yeah.
I didn't go there. I was like, he's probably 50 or whatever,
and you're like, no, he's just there.
So that was 12, and this was 10, so that's 22.

Yeah, yeah.
20 bucks.
Yeah.
If I was going to sell it to somebody else,
I was going to ask, like, 40.
Mm-hmm.

It's special.
And I don't want to...
We'll keep it together.
I want to keep it together.

photos, but I don't want to do that.
No.
Me.
In 1946.
46.
That is so fantastic.
So cute.
Wait so is this a double? How did they do that?
I'm not sure. This one also is a double.
Must have been some kind of, look it says on left side me,
1946, on right side Bobby, Frida,
and me. It must have just been a camera
that took two photos on one. Economical.
Maybe. Maybe like a special film or a special setting.
Yeah it must have been a special film
but maybe a special camera that did it.
But I don't know. Let's see. I don't know. Maybe it
was a setting that. Oops sorry.
A setting that you could do one or the other. Yeah. Well you can
research. Okay. Thank you. Wow I love it.
Love it. Love it. It's fantastic.
Tony was good with a razor.
Tony was good with the shears. Tony neglected his glasses
and nicked the poor customer's ears.

Advertising. Oh, I know. I gotta get in the shade.
Holy crap. Wow. This is me too. I have, I have two cats.
I have, yeah, they're, they're exactly the same.
They're like fake Siamese cats and I got them like a year apart.
So they look like they're Siamese.
They have like, like the color points, but they look more like
a house cat kind of situation than like a, so I call them fake.
I bought Melissa something.
Miss Piggy, turn it this way
so we can see where the money, you put the money in.
For me.
I know, people have asked, what does Melissa like?
I like Miss Piggy.
She's my gal.
Yeah.
So every time I see Miss Piggy's stuff, I pick it up for you.
That's so crazy.
Thank you.
Yeah, does it have the stopper at the bottom?
It does.
You can sell it, or you can keep it.
Up to you.
But I bought it for you.
Oh, um, I got a few.
These fine.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Um.

Ikea, are we
going back
to 2004 Ikea?
Yeah.
I'm like so embarrassed.
Babe, don't be so hard on yourself.
Yeah, don't be so hard on yourself.
I'm just kidding.
So my battery went dead.
Yeah, it's no big deal.
I'm just kidding.
So my battery went dead.
Yeah, it's no big deal.
I think we're gonna get some more.
We got a big gust of wind out of nowhere.
Thank you.
Big light pin down.
Oh wait you're giving it away. You did.
You were done with that. On Facebook
marketplace because it got holes and then I got a replacement liner.
I installed it. Yeah. And
then it got like numerous holes again.
I was like I'm done. Like this is too much. So thank you.
Thank you. Yeah thank you.
On Instagram there was this silly little like
Inflatable looking thing that's a tanning bed,
we can fill it up with some water.
Really? That'll do, like enough to just keep me cool.
And it's got a cup holder and you basically, it's like an
inflatable bed for your backyard that you put water in to tan.
Yeah right, I think you have that. I'll send you another picture of it.
All right. The flea market is winding down.
What time is it? 1.30? It's not winding down. It's
winding down for you. It's winding down for me.
I have to go home. We have an old man dog
named Charlie and he's 12 years old
and one of us always has to go home a little bit early
to take care of him because we adore him.
We love him more than flea markets. Anyway, so
I'm going to leave it there.
Melissa, you're not recording the rest of the day, right?
She's just going to be hustling to take everything down,
pack everything up.
But I hope you enjoyed the Beacon Fleet.
I know we did.
And we sold.
Beach towels. We sold, what else did we sell?
It's kind of like a blur always. Oh, the vintage plaid lunch boxes.
And we didn't sell any clothes. We did sell a rug.
I'm very much enjoying selling rugs.
We sold that for $1.50, so that was good. We did not sell the metal.
toy horse which is a bit of a disappointment and we
also did not sell those massive wine racks which
is also a bit of a disappointment
because then it has to go home with us
but we'll probably leave it in the van
and hopefully we can maybe sell it on marketplace so
all right well we'll catch you catch you at the next sale
or at the next flea
