Daytona car show this weekend

If I had a dollar for every swap meet I have gone to or been in. I would not have to go to swap meets any more. Dude, take a fist full of dollars. Here are some tips to get the best deals.

1) Always be prepared to walk away if you do not get the price you want. You would be surprised how many will at least come half way with your offer when you won’t budge. Some people however I just plain imposable to deal with.
2) Take a Pad and paper to write down names and or parts. Lots of time people have the bigger stuff at home. Or know someone who has the part you are looking.
3) If take say 500 in cash with you. Only put about 75.00 in your wallet. This way you can say Dude Look I only have 75 left. I know you want 100 for that part but I can give you 75. Keep in mind DO NOT SAY I ONLY HAVE 75.00 Say I ONLY HAVE 75 LEFT. This way it lets the seller know you are not a tire kicker and have spent money.
$) Bring a friend to talk you either into things or out of things and be your other source of money. This way you can also use him in negotiations by saying to the seller. I want this part and only have 75.00 left for your 125.00 part. Seller says no way dude, but I will give it to you for 100. If you find the guy won't budge any more. You can pretend to borrow the money off your buddy who is holding onto your other 425.

I hope this DTK School of swap meet bargaining 101 helps. Let me know how you made out. I may go up on Sunday.
