When I go to the fleamart I know what to look but, my problem is how to deal with people that take what you were looking at. On System I went to the fleamarket I got a 2 game for $4 total then I find some dude that has boxes filled with random stuff. Their is a box with 4 nintendo game's I look throght them then I see a mario 3 in a toploader then some jerk takes the box and act's like he does not know what it is a get's it for 3 dollers. Granted I did not move the box closer to me and I see him again later in the day selling it for $45 doller's.  I know must comment's are going to be grab the box. but this is like you have haveing luch and someone takes it from you. Any tip's would be great and If I see him again I am going try to tick him off for being a jerk

    First off, if you ever see items you are interested in, take them all first. Carry a small box with you that you can chuck things into and take to the side to sort out. It's always easier to put back the junk you don't want, and if it is your box no one should be messing with it. Write you name on the thing, and let the vendors know what you are doing so they don't hassle you.

    Just do what I did, steal a walmart cart that you find abandoned somewhere and throw it in the back of the truck. Instant flea market cart.

    I'll apparently be the first to say YOU SHOULD HAVE PICKED UP THE BOX.

    No, you should have punched the douche in the face. But just grab it first, ask the price, move quickly. Don't let your competition move ahead!

    I dont frequent fleas as much as I want to but I do know that if you are slightly interested in it, you better have your hands on it. Dont pretend not to be interested thinking theyll raise the price or something.

    Hold on to anything you see. Vendors want you to buy their stuff - they are not going to withhold items or raise the price just because you are excited about something.

    If you see something good grab it and continue to look. Resellers are efficient at the getting these deals. Another useful strategy is when several people are looking at something that is a great deal, offer to buy the whole lot from the seller out of ear shot of the other buyers. Once bought come over a pick up the whole lot and walk away. I can't tell you how many times I have done this and it always works out great, although the other people hate you for it.

    Gotta have balls and be cutthroat with speed at flea markets because there is usually no quarter between customers. Like others have said grab anything you are even remotely interested in because the next guy or the ones standing next to you do not know you nor give a shit they will take items right out from under your nose.



    Hell I have had people try and grab stuff out of my hands or constantly ask me are you going to buy that ect ect.



    No need to be rude to others unless they are acting like asses. And aways respect the vendor while making a deal as they tend to make better deals if you are nice and curtious to them.
