Or not tryna spend a lot lol I usually take the kids and let them feel a lil rich cause there is literally nothing else to do where we live.

I definitely will be investing in a tent. I've done a few flea markets. Tents are also good for customers too and it blocks the sun which can cause visual issues

These are great tips. Thank you! :))

Great tips thank you!

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! ☮️💞🙏🏼

sounds like you have everything all planned out, great. in that situation i also made friends at the flea market to watch my store on bathroom breaks and you can watch their store as well, or make a nice "be right back sign" for your customers

Thank you so much for the tips especially having a variety of items to sell and I do have tent purchase from Walmart and I usually sell homemade scented candles now I started selling children’s clothes I’m start collecting other items also like toys hats purses etc

I am flipping storage units I bought 4. Now I am ready to go. Best articulation I’ve heard in forever. Made it clear and simple, Thank You so much 😊

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!

Great tips! You shocked me with how early people hit the market. Are they very pale and have a couple of sharp teeth? J.K. Haha! I guess that early bird business is true. Blessings!

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).

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.

Could you do a video of what to do when someone wants something you are selling for a lot less. I used to go to the flea market but those types of buyers discouraged me. I'm trying FB Marketplace but meeting up and communicating with people isn't always the best. If you are at a busy flea market, you will get traffic. People usually liked my merchandise.

I'm thinking of doing this for my photography business in a couple of weeks but I'm brand new at owning a business like this. What about allowing debit card use? 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.

Great video, very informative. I'm doing research before starting to sell stuff at a flea market and I was wondering if I should bother with taking credit cards or do only cash. I'll have mostly littles ranging from $1 to $10 with a few more expensive things in the $25 to $50 range. Thanks again for the awesome and useful video.

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. Good video.
