Before you start shopping, here are some useful tips to help you make the most of your flea market experience:

Many shoppers rush into buying and end up overpaying. Walk around the market first before making a purchase.

Bargaining is common in many flea markets, and sellers often quote higher prices expecting negotiations. Do not hesitate to negotiate.

Shopping alone can be overwhelming, especially in large flea markets. If possible, go with a local or a friend can offer a second opinion.

Instead of collecting multiple plastic bags, carry a large jute or cloth bag. This is more convenient and environmentally friendly.

Oversized items can be difficult to carry. Unless you have a shipping option, it is best to stick to smaller, easy-to-pack items.

Prioritise buying items that are not easily available in your hometown rather than things you can get anywhere.

You may not visit this market again anytime soon, so make the most of it. Take in the atmosphere and pick up a few memorable souvenirs.
