 You’ve probably heard the expression ‘Still waters run deep’ which basically means the quieter someone appears to be the more likely they are hiding a secret, maybe a troublesome secret, perhaps one that could make a lot of money for you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I first learned to respect quiet people in dark corners at flea markets when I began trading at those events more than forty years ago, when I learned it wasn’t uncommon for the real brains behind a supremely profitable stall to be the man or woman sitting quietly at the back, while spouse and kids do all the hard work on the day.

 

The Bod at the Back is very often the person who French polished all the furniture and treen (made from wood) collectibles on the stall, or perhaps he or she repaired cracks in china and porcelain, or dressed those vintage dolls, or spruced up oil paintings that cost him or her a few pennies apiece but are selling now at hundreds of pounds a time.

 

Once their working week ends, those people are entitled to time off, which they usually spend at the back of the stall while keeping a watchful eye on people trading their goods as well as offering expert advice on demand.

 

That’s why, if I need help of any kind, such as someone to repair cracks in an otherwise valuable decorative plate or remove age stains from a 200-year old print, it’s the person at the back of the stall I try talking to first.

 

The reality is, by getting to know regular traders at flea markets, also boot sales and antiques and collectors’ fairs, I’ve saved a fortune having improvements made to items I’ve bought for pennies which eventually fetch much higher prices on eBay.

 

That’s why I recommend you visit flea markets in your area, find them advertised online (search Google for ‘flea market your area’) or check in local newspapers (usually on Friday), then set about gathering business cards and contact details from traders specialising in repairs and refurbishments, especially those with lots of eager buyers!  And if there’s a queue at the stall, the sign of a very good restorer, have a word with the Bod at the Back! 

 

Get yourself known to those people, keep their telephone numbers, and next time you see damaged items going for a song at auction or boot sale, phone for a quote for restoring your item for much higher profits later!  Then buy with confidence by incorporating restoration fees into maximum bid prices for your chosen lots.
