Flea Market finds/deals! Anyone else?

I haven't seen a flea market thread on what people have found. I did pretty good at the Capitol flea market (San Jose,ca) and will post pics of my finds. Does anyone else go to the flea market to find rare or cheap finds?


Derek Jeter Driven Warm Cedarwood / Aromatic Spices. Both obtained for 5$ each.


Apparition homme (sealed) and Antonio Banderas spirit (missing cap tester). Both obtained for 10$


MK Velocity and Pasha de cartier menthe (1/4 of a bottle). Velocity for 7$ and pasha for 6$


Silver Mountain water (most likely fake but smells just like the real deal. i was told that if it has the white rubber nib on the sprayer it is authentic?) seller sold it to me for 2$. He also had a bunch of half bottles and almost empty bottles of women's perfumes. i also snagged...


Kenzo power for 2$ as well. (this one i am sure is the real deal)


Bvlgari Pour Homme soir (full bottle no cap tester) 5$ and Issey Miyake intense (1/3 bottle) 9$

I think i came out pretty good for those prices anyone else come up on anything good at the flea markets over the weekend?

The best find I ever made over the years to date at a flea market was a 100ml brand new Carlo Corinto Vetyver for $10. Now it pops up once in a while on Ebay selling for around $200.

so after spending a hour looking up "how to spot fake creed" threads, it seems that the 2$ bottle of silver mountain water is indeed a authentic bottle. I cannot find one thing wrong with it besides the cap being alittle beat up on the inside, but after buying it from a seller who thought it was some house spray who knows where it was stored. I am not to keen on the sent itself but since it is my first "niche" i guess ill keep it as part of my collection. Then again, if i can get some good trades for it i guess ill let it go...ill have to think about it lol. lucky day for me!

The only fragrance I found at a flea market was Caron's Fleurs de Rocaille. Unfortunately I don't like it enough to buy a bottle...I guess I'm not very lucky with flea markets....

Wow, looks like you had a productive day!
I have tried looking for frags in flea markets but so far without success.
You have convinced me to widen the search though..

I have seen many niche colognes at our local flea market but I think half of them are fake!

yep i see alot of fake to i usually only go for testers/half bottles those are most likely real. especially if there beat up and dirty bottles lol. at the same time alot of sellers get them from nordstrom employees that just toss bottles out and they have no idea their worth. the penhaligons she told me was some real old cologne not worth anything so she priced it for 15 and i offered 11 and sold!
