Great success at the Flea Market
My dh and I have been talking about selling my overstock at the flea market, but we never acted on it. Finally last Thursday I asked him if I could take my things and go sell them. He was shocked because it was such short notice. I made all of the phone calls to different markets and I found the best one for us. I got all of my items together and packed them in the car on Friday. I asked my Mom if she could watch the kids for 30 minutes on Sat. while my husband went to do a paying survey at the mall. I strolled into the flea market around 9:15 and asked the receptionist for a booth. I also asked her how much it would cost if I wanted one of the spots in front of the front and she said it was only $6! I was going to pay $9 for a booth. Not only did I save money, but I was right in the front when people walked in. Luckily I had packed my own table because they do not supply them for the $6 spots. I had a tiny round table that held some of my stuff and then I set everything else up on boxes. I was almost sold out in an hour and a half. I called my Mom to tell her that she didn't have to watch the kids because I was already on my way home. I made over $100 in less than 2 hours. I am going back this weekend. I have more things to sell. The only downfall about this flea market is that I cannot sell food or drinks at all. I have to carry a special insurance and I have to pay over $30 a day to rent a spot. I just hope I can continue to buy enough stuff to keep this going.
