It's been forever since I have been to a flea market. My wife is not usually a fan as it is just more stuff that you have to dust or keep. As we get older, we are really gravitating more towards a minimalist lifestyle (sort of). I think my biggest issue with Flea Markets now is that the Internet has made them less fun. It's hard to get a good deal because everyone knows exactly what something is worth.

Yes, it is getting harder to find the deals for sure. I mostly go to look for coins anymore and that is it. Occasionally we will pick something up for someone else as a gift, like an antique or something. Every once in a while you can find a hidden gem of an oddity.
I haven't been to a market since I started with silver, so I can see how that would be good. Knowing the spot price and what stuff catches a premium probably helps.
It does help. I justs enjoy the hunt and discovery most times.
