Warning: Coming late to the flea market gets me better deals

Most folks swear you need to be there when it opens to find anything good. I show up an hour before closing and sellers are happy to slash prices just to move stuff. Isn't it smarter to let the early birds do the digging for you?

True for general stuff, but you'll never score the rare niche collectibles that way. Those get grabbed instantly by the hardcore folks at dawn.

No way, the "hardcore folks at dawn" actually set alarms and camp out? I just roll out of bed and mosey over. The idea of people being that intense over old stuff is wild to me. You must see some serious battles for a dusty vinyl record or something.

Ever seen grown adults shove over a box of comics? That's the dawn crew. They're not there for the common stuff. It's a whole different game.
