The dos and don'ts of shopping for antiques at flea markets and garage sales
DO run your finger over the edges of glassware and dishes to check for chips and cracks.
DO have measurements and floor plans handy. You don't want to get home and realize that your beautiful purchase won't fit in the desired space or more importantly it won't even fit through the door.
DO have the right gear. Bring a measuring tape, note pad and pencils.
DO have a rolling basket to cart around your purchases at a flea market.
DO take your item away right away. You don't want to run the risk of returning at the end of the day to pick up a large purchase to find that the seller hands you back your money because he accepted a higher offer.
