    Wow! That line was killer. The black cat Halloween die cut was stellar. Santa and the mushrooms was wonderful.

    Loved that fish brooch! I saw a great coffee table I want. I’m assuming the lucite grapes were way expensive. I did hear some high prices. My husband said he would go with me someday! ♥️🐩

      I remember watching it on TV, too and the subsequent insanity that followed here in Southern CA, especially the trial. There’s a REALLY good ESPN documentary called June 17th, 1994 about the media frenzy of that police chase day!

    I have never seen a colored glass fairy lamp like the one you bought….I have 1 somewhere packed away that I probably bought in the 80’s, only it’s clear glass…came from Home Interiors.

    My first fairy lamps I saw that I could afford, I scooped them up so quickly its a wonder I didnt break them.

    • @MidCenturyWasted
      @MidCenturyWasted  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I believe it! I didn’t really bat an eyelash when I thought he said $50 instead of $15! I just figured, yeah ok, too bad... 😆 But then he said “one-five” and made my day! 😁

      Aren’t they great?? I was really debating them. I have a paint by numbers collection but I’m running out of wall space and these were pretty big!

    I haven't lived in CA since the mid 1970's.
    I'm in Oregon, prices are really high down there at a flea market? We have mostly indoor flea mkt here. Much easier to get deals up here.

    • @MidCenturyWasted
      @MidCenturyWasted  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      My parents live in Bend, OR and we’ve done some antiquing up there, too. It’s definitely cheaper than down here! But I will say that this wasn’t exactly the same thing as what other parts of the country consider a flea market. Down here those are considered swap meets for the most part. This is referred to as a flea market (or antique market) and it’s definitely a curated experience geared more towards collectors. Blake and I decided we need to show everyone a swap meet soon and talk about the difference because I’ve been getting that question a lot! And I think it is interesting how things are different all over the county. But in general EVERYTHING is more expensive here (except avocados) 😂😂

    Those prices are insane for a flea market! (Not in a good way either)

    • @MidCenturyWasted
      @MidCenturyWasted  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah, I know... I think “flea market” means something different out here. What other parts of the country call flea markets, that’s more equivalent to what we call swap meets. This was definitely a curated experience of quality items and very little digging 😅 I’ll have to go to a swap meet and do a video one of these days about it! I think the one closest to me hasn’t opened back up yet though.

      Lol! About the only time you could ever go that fast... early on a Sunday morning! 😆

  • @michelineglendinning6298
    @michelineglendinning6298 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I don’t see you bargaining. I would have offered something less for the Fitz and Floyd owl salt and pepper shakers and some other items too.

    • @MidCenturyWasted
      @MidCenturyWasted  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yeah, that’s true I don’t really haggle much. In the instance of the FF owls, they were at $30 but I’d only be able to sell them for about $25+ shipping on eBay (that’s the high end). For someone collecting those, $30 to have them in that moment and not worry about shipping is great. But I wouldn’t want to pay more than $10 at the very most for them to resell. We were just way too far apart to bother offering a lower price. I only tend to haggle if I’m bundling things and buying multiple things from one vendor. It could be confusing watching me shop because I don’t really say in the moment if I’m looking at something with my reseller’s hat or collector’s hat on 😹 I will go over that kind of stuff in the haul though. ✨

    @danielbelarde3875 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    You should put in your title that you're a collector not a reseller I was confused watching you pass up all the money making items

    • @MidCenturyWasted
      @MidCenturyWasted  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I’m both. But I don’t have endless funds so I only resell stuff that I already know a lot about. If you want to point out which things people could make big bucks on, feel free!
