Belleville is just a hop across the river from me.
Glad I didn’t go!

I do make it to the flea market in Belleville every few months.  I’ve picked up a couple knick-knacks there but nothing to write home about.

I’m a collector but also a dealer.  Since I buy from auctions for my inventory, I find it really difficult to pay full retail even for something I want for my personal collection. 

And as you’ve seen, gun shows are retail plus 20%.  Sad times.
