<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 865713, member: 4552"]Regardless of anything, I suggest you always have someone else with you. If your by yourself and someone flys by and grabs a pile of coins, what are you going to do about that? If you ran after them, might be what they want so others can rip off more. You just have to have coins of any decent value in covered cases. Its amazing how some people have those magic fingers that make coins vanish. I visit flea markets all year long. One outdoor one just got started this Month and usually has about 1,200 vendors by June. Usually several coin dealers at first but those usually don't stick around to long since so many coins just walk away. The only coin dealers that are there often are the ones with several helpers just to watch for crooks. One dealer I know that sells almost anything was telling me how he lost over 20 pair of Gym shoes on one Sunday. Crime at flea markets is really high and not much can be done about it since if someone does take something, what are you going to do about it if your alone? </p><p>On the brighter side some of the greatest coin buys I've made are from Flea Markets.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
