Here's the second part of my Wednesday fleamarket trip. Its not as eye catching as videogames, but being a collector, I think it deserves its own post. I got a collectors lot of foreign coins! These seem to be from the 80s, and Google AI confirmed it. They were sets from a company called The Franklin Mint. And I've seen plenty of social media feeds telling me that this company now makes collectibles of dubious values. But the 80s looks of these and the classic coins encased in these cardboard was just too tempting. Thankfully all of these are second-hand. So the only one who's now making money, is the Fleamarket seller I got them from. At first the guy wanted $5.00 each per piece. But we ended up counting them. And he's said that if I took them all, I could get them at $3.00 each. It ended up being 28 of them. So for $84 dollars. I got vintage coin sets from lots of countries around the world. I think three dollars each is fair. I don't know if there's demand for these after 40 years on the market(there isn't). But ebay has these around $10-20 each, not to mention shipping. So I think I did fine. I like coins as well as other geeky things. I got a wide variety of countries. But for some reason it had three sets from the Country of Oman. Maybe the former owner of these was from there? So what do you think? Did I find something neat or did I just buy someone's old fleamarket junk? Oh and since this was a fleamarket buy, in my previous post I said I found a pokemon manga and some ps1 stuff. The seller was kind and generous, and while I was ready to pay for them, it seems like he gave me those things for free since I already gave him $84 bucks. Gotta love a freebie.
