Prices can be even lower when you are overseas. I'm sure that these are made in other countries. That price probably still allows a generous profit margin.
Looks like it's worth every penny...No thanks.

Looks like even MORE interesting stuff just lyin on the ground behind you....my kind of flea market!
I've been selling antiques books records and vintage clothes at markets for over 30 years, and if anyone tried to bargain me DOWN on a dollar item, I'd grab one of my Fijian war clubs or old police batons, and drive them from the stall...I mean PALEEZE!!!!! NOBODY is that poor.
My sister threw out some dresses once, and she used to live in Paris, so not mallcrap, I put em out at $5 each, this woman offered me $2 for one, no way I said, she hassled me ALL DAY..came back every 20 minutes or so...2 dulla 2 dulla 2 dulla, after about 6 hours of this, I went FFS OK half price $2.50, OK she went and opened the wallet: there was a wad of 50's in there thicker than my boot heel, she could have bought the entire stall and had a grand left over...unbelievable...at the same market I saw a widow put out her husband's tools, the entire shed, and as you would expect, not rubbish, and I'm talkin POWER tools, old brass planes, hammers saws etc...20c an item!! You know there were scumbags beatin her down to three items for 50c, I watched the tears run down her face as these lowlifes went in like sharks on a carcass, a shameful thing to behold...some people are mean as catshit...you see a lot when you sell things to the genpop.....
OK she went and opened the wallet: there was a wad of 50's in there thicker than my boot heel, she could have bought the entire stall and had a grand left over...unbelievable........
That lady probably also clips coupons, only shops on double coupon day, and eats the grapes in the market just because she can sample them for free.
Which is why she has a wad of $50's. But, it's still lacking a certain "class" IMO.
Well I know a guy who's worth about that much, and he ain't happy at all, I'm still pretty good buddies with him because I'm the only bloke he knows who doesn't try and get him to invest in schemes or buy stock in this or that startup, women are always trying to take him to the cleaners, and his son runs up debts all over the place knowing the old man will bail him out when the thugs come calling, the mother of that one gave up work and became an ice-addict because she spent all day sitting round bludging in the house he bought her, and tried to kill him with a hammer as he slept because he wouldn't pay her power bill.....he drinks himself to sleep every night because basically he can't trust anybody close to him...money can't buy everything....BTW haven't seen him for a while, but I doubt if much has changed.You wonder if people like that are truly happy. .
Buy the jacket????
Market is Sunday. We'll see if it's there.
