interesting find at a flea market

[M2fan]

So I was strolling through the flea market that's (relatively) near to us and I saw what I thought was an M2 being sold as a portable cd player. It was black and aren't most M2s white? well anyway I took a look at it and there were no labels on it at all but there were controller ports........I didn't buy it because the guy wanted 100 bucks for it but I might snag a picture next time I'm there. But its quite strange isn't it? oh and the controller ports from what I saw weren't functional at all. I mean they were covered up with plugs and when I took the plugs off there were no prongs inside...

what, 100 USD is nothing. Shit, I spent more than that the other day on nothing important. You could have easily made back your money even if it was an empty case. A true deal missed there I'd say. I'll give you 150 UD dollars for it if you can pick it up.

I'd have picked it up, if it looks like an m2 then $100 is nothing. Reminds me of the user who missed out on that playstation wine and that becuase he didn't know what it was and left to find out here and when he went back it was gone.

Most of the time you just gotta pick up what you find straight away or usually when you come back its gone.

I know that all too well, too true.

[M2fan]

okay well I will pick it up if its still there

[sflynn]

That wasn't an M2, mind you.

Anyone remembers sflynn? Something like that won't ever happen a 2nd time...

I remember that guy. Strange fellow....

I didn't know what it was then, but picked it up anyhow.

[M2fan]

Finally got back to the flea market. It was gone :(

[Bramsworth]

An important lesson to learn, yet never to be followed anyhow :D

I wouldn't feel too hard on yourself. Chances are it was a worthless object that wouldn't have gotten any use rather than just sit there. Unless you wanted to sell it...

[Marriott_Guy]

^^ Agree

[Stuart.C]

I'm still waiting for the pics of the M2 he already own's to be put up in his collection thread :lol:

[M2fan]

I think the lesson to learn is not to create such threads at all. It's obvious from the initial post that he wouldn't even be able to distinguish between a real M2 and something that only looks similar.

No photos, not bought, nothing. This was just an attempt to catch some attention...

No. It looked like an M2. That's for sure. ah well. I guess we'll never know just what it was

I always walk flea markets when I see them, hoping some day I would be so lucky as sflynn to find something rare.

All I ever see are overpriced NES games

But I always hope

What did sflynn find?

What did sflynn find?

He found an m2 unit, can't remember exactly which one but I'm sure it was a black unit.

You can check the pics out on his site...found a FZ-21S1 (black kiosk unit)
