The dos and don'ts of shopping for antiques at flea markets and garage sales

DO bring cash. Bring some small bills. Don't pull out a $20 to pay for a $3 item.

DO check for the return policy at a flea market. Most likely there isn't one.

DON'T get too excited. Remain calm, cool and collected when you see something that you love. Gushing over a piece is sure to send the price skyward.

DON'T buy the first thing you see at a flea market. Do a quick walk about the flea market to check all the goods. You don't want to be disappointed when you see something that you like better two aisles over.

DON'T make impulse purchases because they likely will become merchandise for your own garage sale down the road.
