flea market tips Today I want to write about something that has to do more on the edge with Lolita fashion.
because last Saturday I visited a flea market, launched in the hope of once again on great deals and unexpected finds. And as so often, I was not disappointed this time. I visit Passionate love flea markets because you never know what will be found there. And therefore, one is surprised so often joyfully. And the joy of a completely unexpected discovery that one might wish, even a long time, is much greater if he comes as a surprise birthday gift.
I do not see myself in the least as an expert in flea markets. To be honest I'm not even a bargain hunter, I am very reluctant to early to other people to buy things in their face away. I see it more as a weekend walk with surprise. Nevertheless, I have noticed over the years a few things which one should consider when looking things such as jewelry, clothing or furniture. And I am now primarily of views of these things, after all this is indeed a fashion blog.
If one is so alone in search of bargains, one should of course as soon as possible appear on the market. But when it's all about the fun of Freud, it does not matter if you perhaps, or a lot later, there appears.

First, it recommends, the flea markets in the surrounding area take time to thoroughly under the microscope. Because there is such and such flea markets. Some are riddled with traders stalls offering in the worst case, all and at every corner the same. But we are looking for markets with as many private traders, kitsch, trinkets and junk. first one has identified such a market in the area, the best record all data in advance and fill in the calendar. At least for people like me very practical, which otherwise have forgotten all the events in a short time.
On the day before the market you always draw a weather report for advice and have arranged an outfit for the next day. It should include such comfortable shoes, which are adapted to weather and ground of the place. Moreover, one has at best been a few bags and bags ready. Not every vendor has bags on the stand, what we sometimes forget retail quite spoiled. Depending on the weather and warmer clothing, wear gloves, hat and umbrella.
you just go to the market, offers a mostly be a picture of apparent chaos. Where can I get long, which direction should I take?
I've not been able to establish that a method would be better than the other, whether you're first out the way ", or directly through the middle. However, it is always useful to consider first whether the market has rows that could occur in any meaningful order. Otherwise you rely simply on your instinct!
Strolling past slowly and if possible close to the stands, so you have enough time to survey, if anything attracts you more and more is worth a second look.
Have you found something is, quiet! But does it with charm and friendliness. Does not outrageously low prices and takes care whether your partner is happy to enter negotiations. He or she reacts irritated, you know that you should quickly come to a decision. But look before you considered what that part of you is a maximum value and at what price would you get a bargain. Sometimes it pays not to act, or the price is already very good. Because you should always be aware that the seller must pay vendor fees not only from its single name, but also that the new price was a very different and itself certainly would not want to do only loss. I personally have some experience in sales and believe nothing of people who do abluchsen the children as their old clothes for the play and the like 75Cent. On

best to act if you stay friendly and perhaps more than some purchases. So one can ask, for example, if you get the two parts together for 2 € for 3 € or 3.50 €. In most cases, you get the discount, because sellers are lucky if they have several parts not directly carry back with. The more you buy from a stall, the more willing to allow seller to an offer. Look So first in peace over the whole level before you pay. And hold fast, in any case in hand, what you will take for sure! Otherwise, your part can be sold quickly to another, before you notice it. Especially if it might advance to poor visibility and her place was by your other interests have drawn attention. I do everything happened!

have Sometimes such items treasures that looked from a distance may still not interesting . And you dare to ask for the price if something interests you, what, no matter it works! Even if the price is too high for you, it is starting to get a feel for what normal price range for which part. Then you can very soon distinguished from usury bargain. Not right the first take, if it is not about something completely unique or extremely rare. Cylinder there are as frequent and crocheted gloves.
to ask if you want to try something. Might fit the part you have no idea that you have you just chosen. Then you have to you do not even bother to give you negotiate the price.
If the item damage, points directly at the stand out. There may be reduction in price. And if you fear the damage you are too large, the seller wishes despite damage too high a price, or if you think the damages are not able to eliminate, rather let there! It does not have too much joy to an unacceptable dress if it has not come out washable stains.
weighed And from your effort ever against the purchase price. Sometimes not worth a costly restoration.
flea market dates you can usually read the local newspaper, or you google just search for flea market events on the web.
