We went out today and did the flea market thing. We went to "Little Baltimore", near LaGrange. I was told that the flea market there (I have driven by it many times) is great. We found out differently. It was fairly small. We did find an Avon distributor there to buy some body powder and deodorant from. They are at most flea markets, anyway.

We went to Kinston to see what could be found there. We saw a billboard for the "Global Flea Market". It is just a nearly empty old tobacco warehouse. We saw some books on a bench for a decent individual price. We asked the owners if they wanted to sell them all. They were readily accepting of the idea. They had about thrity to forty boxes total.

Since we only had seventy dollars in cash and they didn't want to take a check, we only took seventeen boxes. We may go back and get more. They wanted more per box than I am accustomed to paying sight unseen, but I figure that it isn't the worst deal I have ever seen AND we have a new contact for future supplies of books. Apparently, vendors who quit doing the flea market have left many cases of used books. The flea market owners were wondering what to do with them. They sell very few at the flea market. It is found money to them.

Now, our house is overflowing with boxes of books. We need to open a book store soon or get a storage warehouse or something...soon!
