Good advice from TheNoost. If there's something he's really looking for, it's good to have your list and look up and write down going prices next to each item before you go.
You're going to find that it's kind of like an organized chaos once you get there. The ones I've been too recently were packed. Shoulder to shoulder and not easy getting through between the tables. Even in large rooms.
You'll find that the selection is overwhelming so it's good to have some idea what you're looking for. Sometimes I stray from the plan but I normally end up finding at least some I came for. Basically, you would need to spend 30 minutes to an hour minimum at most every table to sufficiently see what they've brought. Some you couldn't cover in 2 hours. You could definitely be there all day if you wanted to and depending on how serious your son is into it.
Prices are usually negotiable but some will refuse to negotiate. In this economy with as many sellers that will be there, you have the power. If somebody is a jerk move onto the next.
I think you're making a great choice deciding to go. It's really a neat thing to go to that very few people will ever experience. You're son will be very excited for the next month I'm sure.
