The First Buzzards Get The Best Pickin’s
This is one thing that most know but few act on. It doesn’t matter if you are garage buying (going from one garage-yard sale to another). You could be checking out a flea market or any place that has used merchandise. One thing is for sure, if you’re not one of the first ones there, you will never know what treasures the early birds have harvested. They are long gone before you ever got there! Yes, my friend, there has been many a profit lost by showing up late. The early birds picked the tables clean.
Hint: Some pros specialize in buy-outs. They go to a yard sale really early, usually before they are officially open. They check out the goods and make a calculated guess on the total resale value for them. Next they offer some really low cash prices for the whole lot. Everything for one price. It is not uncommon to make a deal like this. The yard sale people are happy; they didn’t have to set up and have cash in hand.. This also works at estate sales. A pro will come along early and make a buy-out of everything.
