I love to spend hours looking at flea markets for different items. Different vendors set up
their products in a central location so that consumers can spend their time walking around
and see the new and used items available for sale. You never know what you will come
across at a flea market. There are plenty of new and used items as well as home made
crafts and clothing to choose from.
To help make your day at the flea market the best it can be plan for the day. Most flea
markets are outdoors so you may want some sunscreen and a hat. Others are inside so
make sure you find out ahead of time. You don't want to spend the day carrying around
the items you purchased so make sure you take along a bag or a cart. There are some very
inexpensive carts that fold up and fit into the trunk of your car.
Make sure you wear good walking shoes too so you won't have to end your daily early
due to tired feet. A good tip to help if you do get tired walking is to walk to the very end
of the vendors and work your way forward. This way you will have the heaviest load
from items you have purchased when you are nearest your vehicle. Keep in mind that
most people start at the entrance of the flea market so if you start at the back you will be
able to see many items before too many other people do.
Most flea markets are offered on the weekends but some of them do take place on
weekdays as well. The number of other people looking around is generally lower during
the week but then so is the number of vendors. It is really a toss up about when is the best
time of day to make a deal at a flea market. It is perfectly acceptable to try to get the price
lowered down from what the vendor is asking for it.
By going to a flea market first thing in the morning you are likely to be able to take
advantage of the selection before everyone else has. This is the best solution if there are
particular items you are interested in finding. Yet many people claim they have a harder
time getting the seller to negotiate the prices when they purchase early in the morning.
By the end of the day though most vendors are very willing to lower the prices on the
items they have remaining. They definitely don't want to have to pack up any more stuff
at the end of the day than they absolutely have to. If you have a particular item in mind
and you can wait until the end of the day you will get a better price. You also run the risk
of someone else snatching it up though if it is a one of a kind item.
There are different ways to negotiate the price of any given item. You can ask the vendor
what the lowest price is that they will take for a given it. You can also offer to pay a
certain price and see if they will take you up on the offer. If you want to offer $10 then
have that money in your hand for them to see. Seeing the money will often entice them to
take the money.

I have found it is always worth my time to look around though because I may find the
vendor in the next aisle has the same item for $10 less. If I am going to go back to check
on an item with a particular vendor I write down their location because by the end of the
day it can be difficult to remember who is located where.
