That dude is there every year and he's so insufferable. Like he will hover over you basically breathing down your neck for everything Dreamgirls . He'll claim any Dreamgirls you find his.  He should just stick to eBay if he wants obc that badly.

Just wondering if anybody was at the Hadestown table at the end of the day as they were not budging on the price of autograph playbills nor autograph window cards. The price was 150 for a window card and $80 for an autographed playbill which I found quite steep. I really don’t understand why they won’t lower the price in order to make more money for charity instead of taking back all the product for the following year when the hype is less....

I passed by the table around 5 PM and they would not budge on prices, and they still had sizable stacks of everything. Dumb strategy and hope they lower their prices for next year.

I was there after 6:00 and the prices didn't budge (they also had that smaller poster autographed by just André for $60 that they did not drop the price on either). I think it makes more sense to not drop the prices in the case of a currently-running show because they can take those posters and Playbills back to the theater and offer them for sale during the fall collection, no? I don't understand why other tables don't try to unload absolutely everything by the end of the day, though. There'll certainly be enough stuff accumulated by the next year to offload.

At around 5pm, I told the “Hadestown” people how much I’d pay for a poster and they took my money. Ain’t no way I was paying $150 for that.

I was very tempted to get one of those Delacorte outdoor signs from the Public. How much were they?"

 

I bought the two larger “Prohibited” and “Bar” signs and they were $10 a piece (same with the smaller ones). Same price as they have been ever since the Public started putting them out. The Public seemed to be the only table that maintained their prices from previous years (except they were asking $30 for cast-signed playbills instead of $10 in years passed.)

Did anyone buy the Angels in America plastic wings? How much were they? I had my eye on them from Instagram, but there was no way I could get through the mob at the Curtain Call table to get one before they sold out.

You should have raised your hand! The people at the curtain call table were holding them up asking if anyone wanted to buy them and I saw people raising their haand passing $$ to the front. I didn't buy it and don't recall the price but I felt it was done as civil as possible given the massive crowd.

Did anybody see any Angels In America signed window cards?

You're a lot smarter than this person. You'd think they'd realize that, and know NOT to let the dog just randomly roam when the streets are so crowded that either someone would trip over the leash (which I almost did) or hurt the dog somehow, but it seemed as though they were more concerned with finding things at the tables!! I saw at least two dogs, and I was so concerned for them. I'm glad you haven't brought yours- the Flea Market is no place for a dog, even if they're on a leash! 

Although, I did see two Corgi puppies in carriers near Juniors, but they were far away from crowds and weren't getting out of the carriers, so they seemed to be okay.

Because of the popularity of "emotional support pets" now, people feel entitled to bring their pets wherever they want. I won't say all are bad and I do get the ones that do behave and are helpful to their owners. But, I know not all are like that. Pets are not supposed to come into where I work, but people do anyway. We even had someone bring their iguana in one day. Oddly, that didn't bother me and it was cute.

The flea market is definitely not a good place for pets anymore based on crowds and how pushy people get at some tables. I was at the TDF pick a ticket table 2 years ago when they ran out the tickets you pull apart, but still had vouchers to give out. They sold those for $20 and I felt like I was going to get crushed by those behind me.

Every dog I've ever seen at the Flea Market (including my own), has been 1000X more well behaved than the "human" animals that have managed to ruin the day in recent years.

Can somebody tell me what great items they had at the curtain call table because it was so packed I did not have a chance to see what was there. What were some of the pricier collectibles?
As well I was at the Moulin Rouge table in the late morning and was wondering what items were up for sale when they first opened. For those of you that are still looking for specific items please let me know what they are as I picked up quite a few items,some duplicates ,and I would be willing to trade.....
