Flea markets

Hello all. Good weather this weekend, so I've done two flea markets, and got some stuff.
First of all, a Smurfy saturday, with two Candy toppers, a toy Smurf, a Bully mushroom Smurf (the orange or red one? I think it's a red one :-) ), and best of all, the Schleich dwarf house (not technically a Smurf house, but as everyone sells it like that, I couldn't resist it).
Sunday: no Smurfs, but six Promo Astro Sniks from Melapi honey. I think they are Belgian promo's, but I'm not certain.

If anyone know anything more about these, or could give some estimation of value, I would be grateful (I know next to nothing about the Astrosniks). The one at the bottom right misses something though (he has a hole in his hand).

Sounds like you had a smurfing good time Fram. You have got some lovely items there, especially the old house, what a fantastic find. :clap:

I do like the astrosniks, although I don't collect them I have to admit to being tempted sometimes. They have such great shapes and colours. :D

A nice collection of goodies Fram. I so want that house as I only have the other one without the painted flowers. I have tried many times but have always been outbidded so I know how nice it must be to have one and to even find one at a flea market is pretty special.

I like the Astrosniks too and even have the rocket from that set but I have to draw the line somewhere even though I think they would be a lot of fun to collect too.

If it was a double, I would love to trade it Dyar. But I only had the unpainted one without the chimney yet, so this is quite a different one. Still a few versions to go though...

I had first skipped the Astrosniks, as I don't collect them, but on second thoughts, and because they were promo's, I decided to buy them anyway. I'll probably trade them with someone more keen on them, or else I'll put them on eBay one day.

Hi Fram, I hadn't realised there were also promos for sniks. Do they have high prices?

I didn't realise either Rach....about the promos. Hopefully someone here will know more about these. I have a raw blue and also a raw red snik that have been won in lots....they're the type of things that I didn't want to sell even though I don't collect them either.

I like the ones you have Fram....they look pretty cool even though I don't know very much about them or how many there are.

No idea. I hoped someone here could enlighten me. There aren't that many Snik collectors, so prizes will probably not be too high, but then again, normal Sniks go for around 2 or 3 Euro, I believe, so this ones should be more valuable. I'll take a closer look at the Snik auctions the following months, I think, to get an idea of prices.

Thanks everyone for your kind words. It was a good weekend (the Smurf house was only 7 Euro :D ).
I've also won two nice things on eBay recently, but I'll show them when I have them!

Wow, great finds. Our Flea Markets have been terrible for smurf treasures over the past few months. I always keep my fingers crossed for something exciting to post!
