Flea markets in Central PA are okay, but you have to go early, you have to be willing to pay at least 3/4ths the ebay price for Nintendo carts and you have to go early before the resellers stake everything out.

I'm pretty sure resellers do not pay 3/4 of ebay prices if so It's not a profitable deal and they are really bad at what there doing  ::)

If a fleamarket is cleaned out the prices were real cheap usually a couple bucks each it still happens. Fleamarkets are cheap the reason why if you come late it is cleaned out, Stuff that will be left over is near ebay prices a solid chunk below like 3/4 or overpriced not worth it to take a risk on for profits. If a fleamarket is picked clean prices are allot lower than 3/4 of the price and real cheap stuff is no exception at a fleamarket but since competition is fierce you might not have been the first one to look.

Yeah if you buy something for 3/4 of retail to resell you are doing something wrong.
