(noun)
-A term used to describe an individual who habitually scavenges through unsold or discarded items left behind by vendors at the conclusion of a flea market. Often motivated by frugality, resourcefulness, or curiosity, "fleagulls" capitalize on what others consider unwanted or unclaimed. Like a seagull scavenging along the shore, a "fleagull" is opportunistic, seeking treasures among what others deem worthless or disposable.

“I saw Greg loading up his car with a broken lamp, a mismatched set of plates, and a headless garden gnome after the flea market closed. Classic fleagull behavior.”
