So, why does no-one ever sell fleas at these markets?

The Leica III looks pristine.. and I had never seen a Rollei 3003 before. They are also selling a Rollei TLR tele but i didn´t like the haze i saw on its lens. It could be the front element only.. which is not so bad. 800 bucks.
A Hasselblad SWC sold on one of the shops for 1.3k. Clean. I hear the same camera is being sold for 3k plus on eBay.

Around here even the antique stores are bereft of decent cameras, as they have all been put on eBay. And a lot of the good shops have closed up, so even the odd accessories are very hard to find. I would have to drive over a hundred miles to see a camera shop with a nice looking inventory, but I found I couldn't trust the dealer to be straightforward with the condition of the equipment.
Yeah, it's be great to go on a "vacation" to Rio, and do a little shopping. I'd leave that Rollieflex 3003 alone though.

Pretty much the same here, it's either 1930s folding kodaks or plastic boxes from the 70s. 🙁

Interesting, last week in one charity shop I looked at about a dozen cameras. A few boxes, a few APS a Nikon F something at 10 quid, a Minox flash at a pound, a few Canon, Olympus and Minolt P&S's and so on. Nothing I didn't have but they are out there if you look.
Regards,
PS And a pre-war Purma Special with ERC and Manual and - the biggest surprise - a lens cap but 20 quid the bundle. And a very nice pair of Bushnell binoculars recently that I bought for a pound.

The only camera or lenses that the shop I volunteer in has had in the past six moths are the Fed 2 and Industar 61, 2 Industar 61l's that need re-greasing and a Jupiter 8 that has a patch of scratches (which could've been caused by fungus which is now gone) and set of 40.5mm hoya filters and a slotted lenshood that I donated.
Several months previous to that there was a kodak No2 autographic on which the bellows leaked like a sieve.
Last year there was a Pentax p30n, a Tokina szx 28-70mm and tokina 70-210mm lenses.

I went to the outdoor antique market just about every Sunday this spring and summer.
Mostly there was not much of interest, I bought a broken Zenit E to get the Helios-44M lens and there were a few filters and whatnot that I purchased over that time.
Then one week one of my favourite vendors had a Rolleiflex 2.8F at a ridiculously low price. I grabbed it and have been shooting it ever since.
A lot of people have told me I was lucky to get the camera for such a low price, but in reality I had hours and hours of market visits finding nothing of interest, so once you account for the time I spent there it's not as lucky.

You never know at flea markets.
Found a Contax G1 + G2, with Zeiss 28/2.8, 45/2, 90/2.8 TLA200 flash and some other smalls, in PERFECT condition for $170USD couple of months back. Couldn't bloody believe it. And in one of the side pockets was a Ricoh GR1 with working LCD display. Crazy...

Never see any cameras at the charity shops, even they have gone to eBay. Never see much of anything in Pawn shops, talking to the owners they won't even buy cameras. Once in a great while I'll see an interesting camera at an Antique store and they seem to think all Kodak folders are worth hundreds. This summer I found a decent Kodak IIIc in an antique store and they were asking $300. Wouldn't budge from that price either.

Same in Argentina ... shops are full of vintage Leica, Rollei, etc gear, at rock bottom prices because nobody there can afford them anyway.
