<p>[QUOTE="Marko, post: 160913, member: 210"]Realize you will make mistakes here and there and don't beat yourself up about them. Go with your gut feelings. Don't be afraid to offer less for an item. If someone says "Make me an offer," go as low as you can, don't worry about insulting them. Always be nice to sellers, you never know when you may run into them again. I carry a lot of small bills so I can make a deal quickly and move on. If you have time, be nice and engage in conversation.... you find out about upcoming sales. Just because you think an item is not attractive, someone else probably will. </p><p>Don't let go of anything...carry a small (or large) tote bag and keep your items in it. </p><p>If you see a lot of jewelry, just say "How much for all?" and grab it before anyone else comes up! Don't show others what you have, just leave quietly. Carry a loupe.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
