Sometimes I get back soon enough for a Sunday afternoon's scrounging. I like to: a) get there before opening on Friday and get a decent space near enough to make trips to. b) start at one corner of the flea market and run patterns up and down the rows. c) make at least two trips back to the car. d) Bring a checkbook (being semi-local, sometimes people take checks from hams - the call sign means you *can* be located). e) Bring wads of small bills - nothing kills haggling faster than having to also bum for change. f) Bring at least a sturdy bag or two (canvas) or backpack. Wheels are nice if you plan to buy things with linear power supplies or CRTs. g) Bring 2m radios to keep in touch (or FRS and/or cell phone if not everyone in the party is a ham). h) Bring sunscreen *and* an umbrella... you'll need one or both for sure. -ethan
