you like. It could very well be, that the little shop down the street from you, in your own hometown, could be the one shop that you find that truly has the best bargain prices on gear.
Bargain prices on gear shopping trips can be found in any location where there are too many items in somebody’s inventory. If they do not sell them, then these retailers will have to absorb the loss and that money may very well be their livelihood. A gear dealer would rather sell their non-moving inventories to anyone that will buy them, including those that plan to resale them at reduced prices.
Some of these distressed dealers will go to swap meets and flea markets just to sell part of their stock. People readily buy these items too, because they know bargain prices on gear shopping trips when they see them.
Another way to find bargain prices on gear shopping trips, is to visit yard sales throughout the year. People tend to start spring cleaning early and do not stop until all of the items are sold. What does not sell at a yard sale, has only one other place to go, where the seller can still reap some financial benefit and that is the charity resale store, right up the street from you.
