Shopping..

Saturday morning is often a favorite day of the week for frequent flea market shoppers.  The thrill of finding that special item at a price you can afford can absolutely make your day.  There are a few things you can do to make your shopping experience fun, especially if you are new to the world of flea market shopping.

Primarily, timing is everything when it comes to flea market bargains.  If you want to find the most bargains or those special hard to find items, sleeping in on Saturday is not an option.  Be one of the first people into the flea market building on a Saturday morning and you’ll have your pick of the premium items.  If you show up after lunch many of the antique or specialty items may already be gone. 

It is also important to do a little research if you plan on buying a particular item at a flea market, especially if you are antique hunting.  Know the average price for the item you are hunting for and unscrupulous vendors won’t take you.  There are many places for you to research specific items including the Internet and books that are dedicated to your collectible.  There are price books on everything from Depression glass to Star War collectibles.  Do your research and you’ll be happy with the merchandise you buy.
