<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 1500120, member: 10944"]Also around where I live sometimes there are so many sales happening on a given day or weekend that it’s impossible for people to buy all the good stuff no matter when you get there. Sometimes there will be over a dozen in a day. If you don’t pick the obvious all-star sale but one that you see has some good stuff you can do well. Especially if you see there’s some good stuff but they haven’t put it all at the beginning of the sales photos or there’s not a lot of pics at all. Sometimes I see sales that don’t have many photos but you can tell by the few photos there are that there is good stuff that’s not being “featured”. Most people will probably go to the one that is a sure shot I look for the “sleepers” to avoid the crowds and pros sometimes. You have to use your intuition here often.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
