Anubis Posted June 8, 2008 Yesterday, I walked into the market square where people were selling their old stuff; toys, furniture, clothing, lots of things. This sale happens every Saturday, and usually has nothing of interest. But, yesterday, I found, under several other items on a table, 2 Lego sets: 6285 Black Seas Barracuda and 6280 Armada Flagship, both in the original box. I made a offer to the man, he sold both to me for 10 Franks. (They go for a couple hundred on the internet) I just wanted to let people know that yard sales, markets, and used items stores can hold treasures sometimes, I encourage you to look for them!

dunamis Posted June 8, 2008 I've picked up a number of sets that way myself. Sometimes you don't find anything for several weeks then hit the jackpot like you did! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great bargain, Anubis! What is "Franks" related to €? Is it swiss? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erdbeereis Posted June 8, 2008 Now that is a deal! I should check out some yard sales sometime... Just goes to show that sometimes you get lucky! Francs are swiss. France used to have them before they changed to the Euro. Nice find Anubis! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
