Flea Marketing Success

For the first time in a couple of months, I was able to go flea marketing. With all the new items that have been coming out, I have spent lots of time going to stores to buy those so it was nice to be able to smurf hunt again. Not only did I find a lot of smurfs and smurfy items I didn't have but I also found these two just hanging around!

You can take the girl out of the south but you can't take the south out of the girl! :mad:

Great to see great Smurf friends going on a hunt together..
The first one to see was the first one to get I guess....hope that didn't give any problems.... :)

Was in that sense Dyar just to slow or to much a gentleman? :-D

Fantastic finds and nice to see you all Staci, Maureen and Andrew!
I haven`t found a smurf on a fleamarket in years ( I suppose, people sell them only online here) so I can well imagine what a great day you had! :D

Lia, than you have to look a bit better I guess, we don't go to fleamarkets so often, but we still find some on the dutch fleamarkets...
Or were we just lucky?

Yes, you`re lucky! :)
I always went to Eelde, a huge fleamarket, but since 4 years, there is not one single smurf to be found :( :(

Thank you guys...it was fun hanging out not only with fellow smurfers but also with good friends :cheers:

Amazingly, we never fought about the smurfs....but...every time Dyar picked something smurfy up, Stace or I weren't far behind and swooped it up to add to our stacks...I guess, that's how he ended up going home smurfless :o but certainly not CDless :D

Exactly! He probably got more CDs than we got smurfs...but he just claims all my smurfs as his anyway so he didn't really go home smurfless :) :) Don't anyone feel too bad for him! And I didn't search Moey too well before she left (it was way too early in the morning!)....for all I know, I may have none of those smurfs left now :(

Awesome Smurf find! Looks like you guys had a great time finding all
those Smurf items. I especially like the Smurf Trapeze. I recently got
that one too.

I did go home with more cds than Smurfs....but my lucky find was the Gardener with Wheelbarrow that has Hong Kong markings. It's only the 2nd Wheelbarrow I have seen with this marking and my first one was completely broken so I was very satisfied with the find......and if Moey found anything first then Stace and me would just beat her up (after she paid for them of course) until she'd let go of any Smurfs she was holding onto.....so in the end there wasn't any problems as far as I could see.
