Posted June 8, 200816 yr 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!
June 8, 200816 yr 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!

Great bargain, Anubis! What is "Franks" related to €? Is it swiss?
June 8, 200816 yr 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!
June 9, 200816 yr hm... its yard sale season, so ill have to check some out, but its never really anything good; just cothing and junk.
June 14, 200816 yr Author Great bargain, Anubis! What is "Franks" related to €? Is it swiss? Sorry, I spelled it wong- Franc- Swiss Franc, yes.
