Household Items: Pots, pans, dishes, microwaves, electric yogurt makers, coffee pots, knives, cup and mug sets, towels, ice cream makers, kitchen utensils, apple peelers, noodle makers, vintage kitchen stuff, and just about anything you would think of as a house warming present. This is because people are constantly moving into new places, especially college students, and are always in a good demand year round.
Electronics: TV's, stereos, radios, DVD players, VCR's, old video game consoles and parts, computers, computer accessories, and more. If you can plug it in, you're going to sell it if the price is right. Don't think that something is old and obsolete (like that old record player) won't sell - because there are people now collecting these things and paying good money for it!
Musical Instruments: People won't want to pay you a few hundred dollars for musical instruments initially, but if you're willing to stay firm on your price and it is reasonable, you'll eventually find the right buyer. Vintage electric guitars, flutes, oboes, keyboards, amplifiers, trumpets, french horns, and accessories like guitar straps or strings can do pretty well if you are familiar with these things and know what to charge for them.
Movies, Games, & Music: I've noticed VHS and cassette tapes aren't selling as well as they used to, but you can almost always sell DVD's and CD's. Computer games and video games for just about any system will also sell pretty well.
Hobby Stuff: People who have hobbies like crafting or model trains or collecting other kind of obscure but interesting things are always at flea markets. They live for it! So things like trading cards, key chains, costume jewelry, matchbox cars, craft supplies, and train items can make a killing at the flea market if it is something interesting enough that a lot of people do it or like it.
Your Own Hand Made Stuff: If you make homemade soaps or candles or craft little dinosaur bunny necklaces out of sea shells then you are in luck because you can usually sell this stuff pretty easily at flea markets, too. For these types of things I recommend that you have it at a separate table than the "junk" because people won't realize it was lovingly made and handcrafted by you! Make sure you have business cards and put your website name on the items you sell, too - that way they'll know how to find you again.
Books: Books are always good sellers for me at the flea market.
Kid & Baby Items: If you've ever had kids you can know how much all the gear they need can be! So you can usually sell kids clothes, shoes, toys, and baby gear like high chairs and playpens pretty easily. Please do one very important thing before you sell any kid's stuff: make sure all pieces and parts are working properly and go online and ensure that none of the products you want to sell have been recalled.
