While you might bump into a few sellers who take credit cards, it&#8217;s always worth being prepared and carrying an ample amount of cash just in case you stumble across something you truly love (and simply can&#8217;t pass up). If you can, purchase your ticket before you arrive online to beat the lines and get to the goods straight away.<\/p>\n<p>Next, while it may seem obvious, come prepared. By that, we mean, make sure you&#8217;ve packed all the essentials. From a bottle of water to keep you hydrated in the April sun (Californians, we&#8217;re looking at you) to a tape measure (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B07TFYBHBQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Amazon Basics Self-Locking Tape Measure <\/a>is a good place to start<u>)<\/u> to ensure the armchair you&#8217;ve fallen in love with fits in your living room nook, bringing these staples will make your visit all the more successful. Comfortable shoes, a notebook and pen to jot down vendors&#8217; names or pieces you&#8217;re on the hunt for, and snacks (if you&#8217;re planning to spend all day there) are worth considering, too.<\/p>\n<p>As well as coming prepared physically, ensure you&#8217;re clued up on exactly what to look for (and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homesandgardens.com\/interior-design\/antiques-to-avoid-buying-at-an-estate-sale\">what to avoid buying at an estate sale<\/a>) so you don&#8217;t regret your purchase, or worse, end up paying more for an item than it&#8217;s worth. When shopping for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homesandgardens.com\/interior-design\/vintage-furniture-trends\">vintage furniture<\/a>, pay attention to the surface of the piece (scratching, stains, or amateur handiwork) before making a purchase. If you&#8217;re still considering the piece, ask the seller if they&#8217;d take a lower price. If it has potential, reupholstering or reinventing a piece with a lick of paint is more than possible, remember.<\/p>\n<p>And, of course, look for all the markings of authenticity when browsing reputable goods like fine china, artwork, or ceramics to ensure you&#8217;re not buying a knock-off version of an antique. Things like makers&#8217; marks, certain shapes, patterns, and glazes (when shopping for pottery and tableware), and signatures will help you identify the real deal from the unauthentic. Always buy from a trusted seller that&#8217;s established, and if you can, look for provenance. <\/p>\n<p>Love beautiful design ideas, expert advice, and inspiring decor trends? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homesandgardens.com\/newsletter\">Sign up for our newsletter<\/a> and get the latest features delivered straight to your inbox.<\/p>\n<\/article>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you&#8217;re on the hunt for a specific object or you want to spend your weekend doing a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2298,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2297","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-1"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tapyom.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2297"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tapyom.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tapyom.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tapyom.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tapyom.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2297"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.tapyom.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2297\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tapyom.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2298"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tapyom.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2297"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tapyom.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2297"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tapyom.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2297"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
