Speed is essential as many antique dealers' trawl car boot sales early in the morning to stock their shops. If you are looking for particular items, get down early.
Sometimes late sellers arrive when the dealers have left for breakfast and, in turn, can miss late bargains. But this is a rarity!
Many buyers wander around aimlessly not knowing what they are looking for. It is much easier when you know what you want and have an idea of the items you may be hoping to find.
How much is the item worth TO YOU? It doesn't matter if 'Millers Guide to Antiques' doesn't list what you like as long as YOU like it! You never know what might be tomorrows antique.
In certain countries there is no such thing as a price ticket. Customers are expected to haggle over the price of items they are intending to purchase.
