`I’ve gone into lots of music shops. “We sell used guitars” Bullshit! They COLLECT used guitars and then display them for three or four years because they are priced $sixty dollars less than retail. After four years in a window the guitar isn’t even worth sixty dollars.
“Four hundred? Is that the best you can do?”
The guy looks up from a box of twisted mic wires.
“Yeah.”
“You just like to look at it don’t you.”
“It’s a good guitar. If you can get it for less then go get it.”

Don’t become one of these people. There’s a price to carting around boxes of trinkets too. Even if it means you don’t get top top dollar for every original star wars toy at least you don’t own it for so long that you can’t afford to sell it. Ebay is the only way to tell what an item is really worth. If you want top dollar then auction it off.

It would be interesting to write a novel about robbing a flea market at the early morning hour of 5:30 am. Because those people fer sure have some dough. Those maniacs would band together and hunt you down. They have access to unregistered guns and most likely some have contacts with fences, thieves and therefore killers for hire.

I think I would read a novel that took place in a flea market. Gotta be tons of good stories in there. And by good I mean thoroughly depressing.

People walking around flea markets with $2000? You should be rolling these people, or at least picking their pockets.
