    Hi Wayne,
    
    On route 12, Southbridge st. across from Ethan Allen Gallery and
    between the Picadilly Pub and the Mass Pike.

    Well, the Nintendo Flea Market was such a smash, they had to close
    the doors a little after 4 PM. It was scheduled to go until 5 but
    they sold out of *everything*! I got around $250 for under $80!!!
    
    They had new, used, cash for your old nintendos, teeshirts, patches,
    Nintindo mags, and just about every accessory. 
    
    In fact, it was such a success, he has announced 3 more flea markets
    in Framingham, Waltham, and Randolph. If anyone wants me to post
    the locations and dates (nobody seemed to interested in saving $$$
    for the last one), I'll post where they will be held in another
    note.

    I went to this flea market (from Maine).  They did not have teeshirts
    or refreshments.  They had plenty of used and new cartridges, hats,
    joysticks, comic books, two TVs set up to try the used games.  I
    got the only RAD RACER in its original box, with 3-D glasses and
    instruction book for $27.  There was a kid there just throwing out
    prices on the used games, so he was probably inconsistent in quoting
    people, an older guy buying used games.  I saw this one kid (10-12)
    had 15 games he wanted to sell.  At first he tells the guy he'll
    trade 3 for 3, but the older guy said he had to make money.  The
    kid was told $80 for the 3 games he wanted.  They paid him $200
    for his 15 cartridges.  Kid didn't have parents with him or anything,
    I thought for sure they'd take this young, naive kid for a ride.
     It cost $1 to get in.  I wouldn't got back (cause it was a 2hour
    drive for me), but I'm glad I went.  The next one will by May 1. 

    I too went to this so called "flea market" and was not too impressed
    with what I found. 
    <FLAME ON>
    
    Where I come from (USA) a flea market is where many different "vendors" 
    set up their wares and sell what they can. This side show in Auburn was a 
    monopoly by some fat slob a$$hole. A couple of people brought suitcases 
    full of games to set up and sell and this JERK kicked them out as if he 
    owned the place. What they should have done was contact the manager and
    see if they could set up in the hall outside the room where El Jerko
    was set up, and then undercut his prices by at least 10%. That would
    have got his goat. Charging to get into the "flea market" was another new 
    practice to me, any other flea market I've ever been to was free to get 
    into. I wouldn't have bought from this jerk if he was giving them away at 
    3/$1.
    <FLAME OFF>
    
    What would be nice to see is a true flea market of games to choose
    from.

    I would be interested in a "true" flea market for used Nintendo games.
    Is there one planned for the Framingham Area?

    I would also be interested in the dates and times of such "flea
    markets".  The tapes are so expensive and I have a few I would like
    to trade.  

    Next time you see that fat jerk who wouldn't let anybody set up,
    ask him if he would like to throw?

    I have heard about a possible Nintendo Exhibition or Flea Market...
    don't know which yet ... to be held the weekend of Memorial Day
    in Taunton, Ma. at the Taunton Exhibition Center or something....
    as I get the whole story I will post it here...or if anyone knows
    about this please help me out.
    
    More as I get it
