<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sweet wheatz, post: 590285, member: 18313&quot;]I am looking forward to going to a huge once a year flea market in Johnstown, Ohio.&nbsp; I hope to find some great deals like I have in the past.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here are a few tips for you fellow collectors at the flea markets.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1. Take your time, don&#039;t just look for display cases.</p><p>2. Look in boxes of nicknacks and other small items. </p><p>3. Look for jars of coins.</p><p>4. Look for coin books and albums.</p><p>5. Talk to the vendors and see if they have any coins that have not been put out.</p><p>6. Remember that most vendors are not really dealers - they often only have a few coins here and there and don&#039;t really spend that much time looking up values. So you can get great deals.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>7. Always look deep into the cases with a variety of small items (knives- watches etc). Sometimes dealers will put coins in there- many times with way out-dated prices. They tend not to take the time to reprice many items in the cases- often they just leave everything in the case for future markets.</p><p>8. Unless you are getting a good deal already, never and I repeat never pay asking price.&nbsp; Always try too get a better price.</p><p>9. Take some coins for trade. Often vendors are looking for new stock.</p><p>10. Know Your coins and bring a list of key and simi key dates- don&#039;t carry around a coin guide, they will want top dollar if they know you are that interested.</p><p>11. Be prepaired to name a fair price. Often vendors don&#039;t have prices on coins,</p><p>12. The last day is always good for deals- people wanting to get more money to help offset poor sales.</p><p>13. Be kind and fair. Treat the vendors well and they will treat you well.</p><p>14. Above all Be patient, methotical in your search and don&#039;t get discouraged.&nbsp; You will find great deals you just have to look.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I will post my finds on this forum[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
