Oddly I never think about costs,more on how usefull and reliable the product is,most of my brands I've stick with for over 30yrs 👍
Why can't we have such flea markets? The knock off stuff on flea markets here costs more than the originals you paid for Aloha
@ Seamonster, was there any money in the wallet you found? That would put you ahead if so

The knock off stuff on flea markets here costs more than the originals you paid for AlohaI've gotten really lucky but if I factor in the time spent walking around and gas to get there then . I'm still surprised what I find tho there sure are week when the pickings are slim. When I was sniping off the bay of fleas I wasn't doing to bad either. Certainly not the bargains the flea market has but still not bad.
I just read this thread on a similar forum and wanted to (again) shamelessly copy the idea and ask you,how much (money-wise) is your EDC worth? I'll start (no clothes, vehicles or jewelry included)EDC knife - $70-90Multitool - usually $40-$80SAK - $20-30Light - $20Bag/man purse - $25Backup folder - $40Wallet - $0 (I don't use one)Pen - 0$ (I don't carry one)Watch - $0 (I don't use one)Phone - $200So my EDC is usually between 415 and 500 dollars depending on my specific carried items that day.Don't worry, the thread is wife-secured! Talk freely
Interesting topic. Lets see, I'll price out my off day carry. Some items are actually carried everyday *. $2-$5 G Shock. I buy all my watches from the flea market. * $2 Wenger Wallet. I found it at the flea market. *$5 Fenix LD02. Yup the first one I bought I found at the flea market. * $10 LM Squirt P4. Part of a lot buy off the bay of fleas. $5 84mm Tinker. Flea market. *$2 Fisher bullet. Yup, flea market. * $15 Victorinox Belt Hanger. New. * $15 Pocket Wrench 2. New. $20 4/7s Red LED ATOM AAA Ti light. Light is very wonky. I'd never buy 4/7s again. New. *.27c Memo Pad. *? Leather sheath for 84mm SAK and Squirt. I made it from an old leather handbag purchased for $1. Flea market I have the older version of the iPhone (5). * Forget what I paid. Many of you know I frequent the flea market and early on I sniped off the bay of fleas.
