Thanks for all the great tips for treasure shopping!
It all depends on the venue. At a flea market, or tag sale, definitely. In an upscale designer vintage shop, or high end antique store, you can try, but don’t expect much off. As an owner of a vintage store, we inspect items for damage and price them accordingly. After all, you are purchasing a used item so you shouldn’t expect it to be perfect. A customer with enthusiasm for a piece, and being nice and easy to deal with usually arrives at the lowest price at Back In Style.
