Even More Flea Market Finds

Any professional book collector knows that if a flea market is run over two days they fill up the book shelves and tables with more books when the market closes the first day so a visit the next day will always bring new chances. And as you can see from the image above it did today as well at the same flea market I visited yesterday.

Besides the prices are lower on day two. They want to get red of as much as possible of course. Today’s 12 books cost me NOK 100 = £ 9.50 =  $ 15.30 – Ted 🙂

More Flea Market Finds

It is a rainy, cold day in Oslo today, but luckily there was a flea market at the school just across the road from my flat so I found the right kind of jacket (In Norway we have a saying that goes like this; There’s is nothing called bad weather, only bad cloths) and then I walked the few hundred meters to the gymnastics hall where I knew the books would be. (It’s not the first time I’ve been to the flea market at this school of course)

I didn’t find as many cook books as last weekend, but on the other hand I found a couple of real classics, so all in all a good day along the bookshelves –  8 books, total cost 190 NOK = $ 29  – Ted

Jumble Sale Finds – Part 2

Jumble Sale Finds – Part 1

The autumn jumble sale season has finally started up in Oslo and when my sister called me earlier to day asking if I wanted to tag along for a round on this weekends markets I finished what I was doing as quickly as I could, hung up my kitchen apron (I was making fish patties) and went out to be picked up.
