We were out slumming at a couple of outdoor flea markets in AZ yesterday, and I saw a lot of neat tools, many that have been on here. I thought about taking some pictures of some but kind of thought it might be inappropriate, what do you think? I sure don't need any more antique tools, it only would of been to show on here. I suppose I could of made up a reason, like a friend back in MN might want it!
 
Steve is correct. Just be polite and ask if you can snap a picture. I almost Never get a NO answer. They usually are pleased that you did ask. Who knows, you just might buy it for yourself.
 
I have taken a few pics of tools that I have posted here from FM tables. I just ask and unless there is a glass pipe sitting next to it, they oblige.
 
In this day and age not uncommon at all to text a friend a picture for advice on a purchase etc I think any seller upset by picture taking is just a grumpy old geezer
 
Tom I may need you phone number , we come down right south of Casa Grande for three weeks ever Feb. Problem is I have a Jan 24th doctor appointment and may not get to make the trip this year but If I d will try and look you up. Love that area.
 
The tools are at a public place. I don't see why there would be a problem. people do it all the time at auctions.
 
We just got in from doing a flea market. I thought most of the tools I saw looked a lot like the ones in my shop. Would sure like to see some from a warmer part of the states though.
 
I take photos at flea markets all of the time... it's a cheap way of collecting stuff. LOL

One gal said, "Why is everybody taking pictures? Quite a few people have been snapping pics of my stuff."

I told her that I just love old stuff - but can't buy it all, so I take pictures to remember the day by. She said, "Oh, that's cool."
 
You are in the correct area but some people get P off. Invasion of their space. Crazy but real. Just ask.
 
Who would know what you plan to do with the pictures. They might think you are emailing a picture of something to a person that might be interested in the stuff.
