<p>[QUOTE="Marko, post: 4443931, member: 210"]My flea market is like the twilight zone. I hit the one vendor at 8:15, late by my standards, but he just set up. He is older, and sets less and less. Regulars usually come around and just buy all his jewelry as a lot, which someone did after I had my pick of it. Another vendor is liquidating because she lives with her son now and they need space. They set up later, and she tells me she will be bringing more silver and gold. She hesitates to put it out due to the cutthroat sharks roaming the waters, but she trusts me. The gold bracelet was mixed in with modern junky costume, lady set up after 10 am. Not a lot of vendors or customers out early. It's a craps shoot, really, anymore. And vendors are complaining that customers aren't out due to gas prices. I go for the fresh air, exercise, hot dogs with fried onions, and Amish donuts. I walked 11,000 steps yesterday, and had fun. If I was a cutthroat shark, it wouldn't be fun. Fortunately, I set my future up decades ago to receive a pension and healthy SS payments. I have to work one more year until I reach 66, then I can have fun selling it all. My only concerns are health-related, but we all grow old and have them sooner or later.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
