Unused Wonder Woman watch with all the original packaging and inserts. I've seen these forsale or sold on eBay for around $300 or more and often times without all of the packaging and/or worn.
I paid $25
I'm a big Marvel fan but at that price and that condition I would have probably snapped that one up too. Congrats!

Here in the rural mid-west there are numerous auctions on the weekends and my dad who wheels and deals in antiques hits his regular one on Saturday and which ever one on Sunday. I have him in search of comics and any oddities for my collection. The batch he brought home were some Timely, Gold Key, DCs and Mid-70s Marvel, nothing to really speak of but good trade material.

I would think Timelys are better than just good trade material.

Went to a large local flea market today that goes on twice each year (once in May and again in September). Thought flatrock02 picked up all the goodies yesterday so I almost didn't go. Now glad I did.
Sugar and Spike #5, 13 and 15 for 2 bucks each. Not in the greatest shape but they're complete.
Hot Stuff #8, 9 and 31; Spooky #26 all for $2.00 each.
10 mid-grade copies of Epic Illustrated #1
Most (but not all) copies still had the letter in it from Stan the Man.
Also picked up Epic Illustrated #2 and #3
Some higher grade copies of some Marvel comics I needed:
A couple of Marvel comic unopened prepacks:
A Marvel superheroes chess set (villains vs. superheroes):
A Packers Superbowl 31 mag in high grade (which I hope to get slabbed):
And I saved the best for last. Jungle Comics #83, 86, 87, 97, 104 and 106:
I'll be selling the Jungle Comics along with 9 copies of the Epic Illustrated #1 in a board sales thread tonight along with some other Golden Age comics.

I attend a local flea market every Sunday. Occasionally I find some comics. I picked up an ASM#21 for $5 in decent shape, tons of newer comics 2 for $1 or sometimes 3 for $1.
This past weekend, I picked up these a lot with several childrens books for $5:

I was coming home from a show that I didn't do so good at (selling) and I got a phone call from my Dad. He said he bought some comics for me and laid them in my office at work. He said the cleaning lady at work saw some of my comic related items on my desk and told him that a man in her neighborhood had been giving away TRASH BAGS full of comics to neighborhood kids. So Dad went over there and bought all he had left.
You know how that normally turns out. Nothing.
But I went by work anyway and there was comics laying everywhere. Right at 2000 of them. I looked through a few handfuls but it was mostly Archie type books. So went on home, came in the next day to work and started looking through them in earnest.
Started running into some really good books. Sgt. Fury 13, Spider-man 17, 15, 13. Then on to lower Spidey's. 9, 8, 5. WOW! Dad did really good!!! Then there stuck between a Archie and a Betty and Veronica was THE book; a Spider-man #1!!
Ended up being two long boxes plus of Archies and the rest silver age marvel.
He paid 100.00 for all of it.
