What flea markets? Wolffs? I never have luck there.
Lol, that's kind of my secret Deniz, but I will tell you this much. Neither was Wolff's flea market, and one was the Maxwell Street Market just outside of downtown (every Sunday) which is essentially defunct now. It used to be legendary, and take up an entire section of Chicago that is now the UIC campus. It also used to be everyday. Then the city basically shut it down, it used to be wild, you could get anything, most of it "fell off a truck" and there was good food and live blues music everywhere. But the people up at the top said "These people are having too much fun, there is all this cool stuff and culture happening in this one spot where we want to put up Starbucks and a bunch of other boregious fucking bullshit crap." So, eventually they moved it to Canal street just south of Roosevelt every Sunday for quite a few years, then in September of last year, they moved it again, I think on Des Plaines or Clinton St, I'm not even sure, because I haven't gone there, and it's an even smaller shadow of it's former self.
You've probably stopped reading by now, but I've only had one successful day at Wolff's. I found a mini SNES mint in the original box for like $20, and a handful of decent games. There is a guy there who has a lot of NES games, but they're all crap. He says that there are guys who come in while he is still setting up his table who buy up all the good games that he gets.

4. Lot of 20 some SNES games (Some Good Games) - $10 (Super Mario All-Stars was one of them)
5. Super Metroid (x2) - $5
