Not at all a flea market and not quite philly area, but another nerd event is HOPE conference in nyc this summer.  (www.hope.net)

Casey, you are so in luck.

The venerable Trenton Computer Festival is this weekend.

I started going in the early 80's but, sadly, my attendance has fallen off in recent years. 

I bought and/or refurbished many a computer from parts I purchased at TCF including my 
first CD ROM drive: a 4x ! Teac.

There used to be amazing things there too.  One year I saw several used VAX 11/780s for sale.
I did not need one - my house already had a heater.

Saturday is the better day as not all the good junk^H^H^H^H stuff is taken.

If you go, be sure to take sunscreen and/or an umbrella and have fun!
