    Oh Tom...my uncle used to make the BEST sausage bread we'd have on holidays. A crusty, ciabatta type Italian bread, and he'd make the sausage browned and crispy inside...to "dye" for (didn't want to spell it right because YT deletes the weirdest words for no good reason!) Anyway, he's long since passed and I never see that aunt anymore..I wish I had that recipe!! If you like sausage and you see it again, try it, you might like it. :)

    Completely unrelated to the flea market but I can't help but wonder what that soundbyte is of "Let's go to the other side of the mall" that plays in many of your mall exploration videos? Is that part of a ambience background score to avoid copyright from the music playing in the mall? Thanks, I'm a huge fan of all of these flea market, mall, and abandoned area videos! Great channel!

    • @fleabittenadventures
      @fleabittenadventures  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Yes. I try not to use that particular clip anymore because it is so recognizable. Some malls have copyrighted music playing in the background which TH-cam flags and then demonitizes the whole video. I have sound clips from other malls I've been to where there was no music playing, so I will sometimes use that audio instead of the actual mall audio. I only do it because it is sometimes necessary. Thanks for paying such close attention!

      It’s just to attract people to their tent/table. It’s stupid and shouldn’t be allowed cause it ruins things for everyone, but what are we gonna do about it? Best thing we could do is tell others to avoid a certain table because they’re just luring people for money, but essentially we can’t stop said people from coming to events like this.

      Ha! I went to the comments to say same thing, don’t mix those two up. Voltron a much better ball
      Of wax than Thundercats (IMO anyway). Also that raffle lady, I have seen a video of that toy show on the Toy Attics page. Blonde haired woman has a vintage shop in CT. She has a pretty distinct diction to her speech. Too bad about the stuff being part of a raffle, but I am sure she would have wanted more than 200 for that Godzilla. He looked complete, I bet he would have gone for three. As a kid I got the Shogun that shoots missiles from his fist for Christmas in 77. I was not four yet and shot a middle into my eye. I don’t remember what happened to that shogun warrior (where he ended up), but I never got to play with it again. Fortunately I don’t have any permanent damage from it.

    • @victornavedo1649
      @victornavedo1649 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I know that sometimes you see prices higher than what people want to pay, but the entire process of doing shows, conventions and large flea markets (Elephant's Trunk and Brimfield) is that it's super expensive to set up there. I think people don't get it that we (sellers) have to buy, store, transport, and pay fees for these items.
