    I think for the ones who bring $20 bills it’s not because we want to, That’s all the ATM gives us. I’m just speaking from a general consumer stand point. Good tips

    I'm going to do this at an inside location where you can leave your setup from Sunday to Sunday. On my list I put: seating, comfortable shoes & layered clothes, water, coffee, food since I'll be alone & it's a long day. I decided it's safer than a garage sale for someone living alone & it'll free up space at home, like a storage unit. Everything you said makes sense & I appreciate you kept it concise. Additionally, I realized I will ask a friend who sells just one item at another flea market to handle some of my items while I handle some of hers. It should be a win-win. Thank you! ☮️💞🙏🏼

    Wow flea markets are really cheap printing space where you are. The Atlanta suburb area it's a bit more for a space. It also depends on your location if you have like prime real estate at the flea market like next to an ATM or right at the entrance where people walk by those spots cost more.

    Great video. Precise information, not a lot of excess chatter. The only thing I would add is I suggest getting the best tent you can afford and at least 150# of weights. Getting the best tent, you can afford will pay off in the long run. I went through so many cheap tents. I do flea markets(outside) and maker's markets(inside).

The last time I was at the market I didn't sell any of them as they were on the ground in front of my table. The market I go to has permanent tables already to go and you pay by table. Should I place the coffee tables on the permanent table? I was trying to display them in a way that the potential buyers cold envision them in their house. Your thoughts? Appreciate your advice!

I have no idea what to do about that and a lot of people use that now. The one i'm setting up is not really a flea market...it's more like small businesses like mine. Andy, yea...they will not allow me to bring any kind of backing like a tent or anything for my space...I"m in phoenix,az and I'm going to try sitting on the side...def don't want to be in that sun side all day...hopefully it's gotten cool enough so I can withstand it! I'm also thinking of selling stuff that I don't use anymore but I"m not sure...thinking of trying just the photography stuff (more than just photos here) for this first time, just to kinda get a feel for it first, since it is a little different than others at this location.

    @bagobeans 2 года назад +2

    I agree but disagree on some things. Selling one item like handbags is geared towards those who want them. I see people selling kid's items, another with tools. Having a certain item is good for those who know what they want. Others are just browsers. They just shop and make spur of the moment purchases. As for having on the ground, you must be in the dirt because I haven't seen dirty items on any item purchased on a tarp. You can scan the ground and see what you want. Having a table is extra to carry, not to mention how expensive those tables run for. Selling should be enjoyable and not extra work.

    It says we need to get a reseller's permit and something for tax purposes. Is it expensive to get it from the county? I I already have lots of used clothes, purses, shoes, backpacks, pants, short pants, party dresses, kitchen stuff, and other miscellaneous items. I haven't done selling stuff in a fleamarket .

      For the flea markets I go to , you don’t need a license if the items are used.

      You only need a sellers permit if you are reselling new goods. But if you just mention it's used clothes and decor or whatever. You're fine.

      I have a seller permit because I am reselling new goods and I’m selling used goods too. But if you are only selling used goods then no permit needed
