Swap Meet Tips for Buyers
1. Get to the swap meet early. This is especially true if you are seeking a particular item
2. Bring cash and plenty of small bills
3. Bring a friend. Four eyes are better than two. If you are seeking something in particular then split up
4. Don?t be afraid to negotiate. Ask how much the item is and then do your own appraisal, if you think it is worth less, then offer less and see where it goes.
5. When the swap meet is winding down and some sellers will start packing up their unsold stuff. This is a prime time to get deals on items that did not sell during the day. (rather than hauling it all the way home)
