<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 590612, member: 4552&quot;]For flea markets the most important thing is to get there as early as possible. At many they allow you to enter much earlier than the stated time of opening. The reason is many steady sellers at flea markets get there really early and walk around looking for new sellers with to cheap prices and buy them out. Or just purchase much of thier stuff. Then they resell it later for much more. If a seller has coins, they are usually well knowledgable of coin prices and your just another flea market haggling custome. </p><p>At one flea market by me it is supposed to open at 7AM. I get there at about 6AM and it is fairly crowded already. I leave by 8 to 8:30 since anything decent has been well gone over and sold. Going on the last day or late in the day is worthless. Anything good is well gone. </p><p>At garage/yard/estate sales you HAVE TO ASK. Many will not put out coins. Too difficult to watch. Also, many are not sure what they even have. You have to ASK. NO, they don&#039;t think your a crook, they just think your a coin collector. Many people have coins in a jar, can, box, etc just laying around for years. Those are usually intended for a bank. If you ask, they may go get them and you make them an offer. </p><p>At one garage sale I asked and they came out with a jar of pennies (cents). On the bottom I could see Indian Head Cents. I estimated about $30 or more so I offered $50 and left with a small fortune in coins. Newest coin was in the 50&#039;s. YOU HAVE TO ASK.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
