However, the best finds/deals are in the booths of people that have a variety of items. The competition is stiff and can be difficult/frustrating for a newbie if you go with high hopes - there is a lot of networking among dealers so things are held back/shown to others before being placed out to the masses. Having been going for over 20 years I can tell you that sometimes you come home with a bunch of stuff, sometimes you come home with an empty car but you always get a great day of exercise. I love the entire Brimfield experience - it's like an entire week of harkening back to Christmas mornings of when you were a kid.

I couldn't agree more.
