The nature of flea markets?

I've also noticed that prices sometimes get better an hour or two before closing on the last day at model rr shows. This is particularly true with the "swap meet quality" grab bag stuff (used body shells,old freight cars, etc.) that many of the dealers have. They would rather take home a bit less money than pack up the stuff for the next show. Of course the down side is that if you want a specific item that the dealer has, it may be gone if you wait.

Yes, I wondered about that as well. This particular flea market was open from 10am to 3pm. We got there around 1pm, so that might have been part of the incentive -- to get rid of things before packing up & leaving. Rob
