Good day at the flea market

[yyznick]

Went to the flea market today as usual, an actually scored a deal on some coins for once. Picked up 7 Washington silvers for $35 and 14 Mercs for 28, no key dates but not terrible condition. Good start to my week, hh!

So you basically paid about spot price?

Not trying to criticize your post, but the point of this forum is more to post good deals found while out rummaging, imo. Not to post what you found at retail pricing while out shopping. To put this in context, your purchase is no different than going to a coin shop and paying spot price for silver bullion or going to the antique mall and buying a piece of Roseville at market value. If everybody posted everything they purchased in this forum, it would become flooded and no longer be much fun.

We here love to hear about great deals!

Ive seen much worst post, he could have shown a handful of bottle caps, rusty nails, and some batteries! Hes a junior anyway. I see old timers here posting the stuff they throw in the garbage, what is the point of that?

All he is guilty of is posting in the wrong forum.
Since it is not a "steal or deal", it should probably go in the "Coins" forum.
