The soft rays of the sun tickle our noses, pollen flies in the air and flea markets flourish on every street corner. The Chinese season is coming, that is, the time to find vintage pearls, old crockery, retro household linens and rusty trinkets that recall childhood (or that of our grandparents, for that matter). All obviously at the best price… as long as you have the right advice!
Avoid flea markets where only professionals sell
There’s no secret: Private garage sales are often the ticket to valuable finds at a very low price. Because as they say, “one person’s misfortune determines the happiness of others”…And often people don’t know what they’re selling, which is to your advantage. You could, at the same time, find yourself in possession of a treasure, to be resold at a high price during an episode ofDone deal (yes, to the grandmother’s activity, references to the grandmother).
Wake up early
This advice is perhaps the most obvious, applied religiously by expert second-hand dealers. The world belongs to those who get up early, as do the jewels of the sale.
Don’t hesitate too long
Here’s the beginner’s mistake you absolutely shouldn’t make. Even more so if the stand you hesitate on is that of a professional who knows that his Scandinavian chair will inevitably find a buyer. Let’s avoid it at all costs “Take a walk and come back later.” Once out of two, this ” After “ it will not exist either for you or for this chair you had your eye on. If there is a crush, we don’t hesitate.
Be methodical
Flea markets are full of information. There can be many people and many objects. So, we define a running order (precise research or improvisation?), a direction of travel (left sidewalk then right sidewalk?), and we plan the money in advance to avoid approaching the machine and seeing it pass under the coffee table of our dreams. our noses in the meantime.
Target permanent garage sales
The best deals are sometimes those found at permanent garage sales. Do you know the principle? Private individuals rent meters of stands where their objects are displayed for a defined period of time. There we find it Allit’s at All small price!
