Pro Collector Tips

Negotiation Strategies

• Build rapport before haggling
• Bundle purchases for better deals
• Reference TCGPlayer/eBay prices casually
• "I have cash ready" = powerful leverage

What to Bring

• Sufficient cash (negotiation leverage)
• Toploaders & sleeves for purchases
• Want list with card numbers
• Portable charger (for PayNow)
• Water bottle (long browsing sessions)
• Backpack with padding

Best Times to Visit

• Weekday events: 11am–2pm (fewer crowds)
• Weekend events: 6–9pm (dinner lull)
• Multi-day: Friday over Saturday for inventory
• Day 3: Best deals but picked inventory
• Opening rush = best selection, firm prices

Security & Safety

• Use secure front-loading backpack
• Keep expensive cards on person
• Photo document high-value purchases
• Split cash (don't carry all in one place)
