I don’t know about your flea markets, but the ones here in PA are great.
Between the food (most of ours have some great food vendors), all the odd balls and crackpots walking around, it is like going to the Circus.
I usually peruse all the tools for sale, there is usually a deal or two out there. Our flea markets usually have guns, ammo etc… for sale also.
I scored a nice set of Starret calipers for $10 last month, and a brand new .30 caliber ammo can full (about 400 rounds) of once fired LC .30-06 brass for $20.
Some days I don’t come home with anything…some days I find a gem.
Definitely the flea market. There is usually some good stuff to be had, and you just never know what.
Last one I bought an M1 Carbine in great shape from an old WWII vet for $300. Not only did I get a great little rifle, but a pretty awesome story of his service with it.
Hell, that’s an easy choice. Given the title of the thread I was expecting something awful, like ‘me or the guns’. Eek!
The Flea Market is definitely the winner. They’ve got milsurp, antique knives and tools, some guns sometimes, and human bottom-feeders to entertain you. Shrek probably only has the latter and then it’s too dark to make fun.
Wow! That mustve been awesome. Guns with a bit of history or interesting stories are definite keepers.
Just curious though… Didnt the army take back all their issued weapons after WWII?
Movie theater. If the feature is that painful, bring some ear plugs and take a nap. It is a dark room where you’re just sitting in a chair for an hour and a half.
Thats a fixed price, 2 tickets, yah know what im sayin. She might go to the flea market and lose her marbles. A flea market just invites exponential spending.
Flea Market. Worst case scenario you’re there, you guys find nothing of interest and go on with your day.
Best case scenario you mya find something gun related that you like.
An interesting alternative (which has worked for me in the past) is a tour of a local winery. 99 out of 100 women would probably go for that, and you look like the good guy for suggesting it.
I agree, but if you have a project or something that you want to buy some stuff for then the ideal time is right after she’s bought a bunch of useless shit and is feeling guilty about it. Also works when she’s looking at some ungodly expensive piece of crap but isn’t sure how you’ll react to it.
The last time it happened for me it went like this: She’s looking at some purse or something online and says “Honey what would you think of that?” I say “If you but that purse I’m buying a gun.” She thinks for a sec and says “OK.”
