Time for our annual Christmas Thrifting expedition!  Alas, no sleigh or snow thus far this year...actually, I'm ok with that.


As a little (actually, very long) bonus, this is from the lot of Quasar Great Time Machine (VX) tapes earlier this year--the 1982 National Finals Rodeo (alas, no complete ads).  I held off until December to share this, because, well, this took place (and aired) at about this time of year.  Consider it my way of steering you into the Christmas spirit.

And, yes, next week will be this year's Christmas Special...and it's gonna hurt.

Wow, that's the first time I've seen something on a thrifting episode that I already own - that Peanuts Holiday compilation at 15:36. Haven't actually watched it yet, though.

Thanks for another fun thrifting video, Ben! I really enjoy seeing the vintage Christmas stuff. I would have picked up that Garfield DVD, but unfortunately I never find any of them at the thrift stores near me- except for the one time I did, and of course the case was empty. Is it common to charge admission to a flea market in your region? None of the ones I've been to in my area do. I've only encountered that once when I was on vacation. I've been wondering for quite a while, has anyone ever given you a hard time about recording footage in the thrift stores or flea markets?

Honestly, it's the only flea market I've ever been to--never did make it to the Mile High Flea Market when I lived in Colorado (it would've been probably an hour drive each way). For what it's worth, MHFM was legendary for being mostly knockoff and bootleg fashion stuff, so I wasn't too eager to see what older (legit) stuff they had (if any). Admission for this flea market has been $2.50 as long as I've lived here. As for recording, I've gotten pretty good at keeping it on the extremely down-low...which is also why I have to slow the footage WAY down sometimes. No one's said anything yet.
