Are you a flea market, second hand or garage sale shopper? Here are a few tips to follow for the best flea market finds.

Take your time – don’t rush through the flea market. Be sure to take the time to look around and take in all the different vendors and items available.
Have a plan – know what you’re looking for and have an idea of what items you want to buy. This will help you stay focused and not be overwhelmed by all the choices.
Ask questions – don’t be afraid to ask the vendors questions about their items. This will help you get a better understanding of what the item is and if it’s worth purchasing.
Haggle – flea markets are known for their haggling. Don’t be afraid to negotiate a price that’s right for you.
Bring cash – some flea markets only accept cash and it’s always good to have on hand. Be sure to bring enough and keep it in a safe place.
