I’ve been to some aboard and interesting what’s about.
Though not ideal if trying not to declutter / go minimalistic lol -
We bought two prints in three weeks worth around £100 for £10 a couple of months ago. Second hand prints are very cheap indeed, sometimes the frames are worth buying them for.
quite right though @fluffycat, best avoided if trying to de clutter ?“This is my simple religion. No need for temples. No need for complicated philosophy. Your own mind, your own heart is the temple. Your philosophy is simple kindness.”

quite right though @fluffycat, best avoided if trying to de clutter ?I picked up few cat (display) plates but not sure if worth anything.I have a ‘movie’ glazed / glass type metal pin badge which drew blank from an auction house, even web search nowt.
Might be worth £££ (got free from paid film festival event about 15-20 yrs ago, was told rare @ time) -
I loved going to flea markets whenever there was one in my city, but there hasn't been one for ages now. I did collect old banknotes from around the world. They are not worth anything really, but some of them are really colourful and have great prints on them. Especially old Chinese ones. I also have some German inflation notes, printed by the banks themselves in the early thirties. One is a million-mark note, printed on one side only. It was probably worthless the day after printing. It makes me feel like a millionaire. ? Or the closest I will get anyway. ?
I haven't bought any for years now, but still have all of them in an album. -
