The top 5 flea market tips. I f you are a beginner flea marketer this will help. If your going to the flea market to sell, you want to get there early, all vendor's do.
Tip#1: The other vendor's will come around to see your items. They will act like regular customers. What they will do is try to buy your items cheap and re sells them. They will try to get you down on your price. So
hold to your prices on them.
Tip#2: If you're not sure about what price to put on your items do this. If you go by your self before you set up go and look in all the other booths and you will see the same things you have to sell, believe me someone else will have the same items you have. And you can check out their prices, it will give you an idea of what price to put on your things
Tip#3: What ever the price you put on your items always add a few dollars more than you want, people come to the flea market to bargain with you, if they don't feel like they got a deal they wont buy.
Tip#4: If you decide you like flea marketing, you will run out of things to sell after a while. Go to yard sales, you can pick up a lot of good deals. Good enough to take to the flea market and re sell. And always your friends have things they want to get rid of, and on your job you might be able to pick up some things. Family members can help too. They might have some things they need to get rid of also, and they have friends.
Tip#5: Always take you a lunch and some thing to drink. Food and drink are expensive at the food court. And also, some sort of cover to keep you out of the sun, a big umbrella, a set up tarp, or something, or you will be very UN comfortable all day.
Depending on how much stuff you take to the flea market, and the quality of things you take will determine how much money you make. Two or three hundred dollars a day is very easy to make, I have a friend who makes right at two thousand dollars a weekend. Of course he is really in to it, that's all he does. All week he is gathering things to sell. But a couple hundred dollars a day is normal, and your usually home by two or three in the afternoon. So happy flea marketing and I hope you make some money.
Of course the flea market is a seasonal thing for most of the country, so in the winter I sell on e-bay, it helps with a little extra income.
