Flea Market Business. Here Is Just Some Of The Information You Will Find Inside.
Secrets The Flea-market Dealers Don't Want You to Know!
Flea markets are not unlike large successful businesses. Each has its own special closely guarded secret.
Wholesale Prices
If there was only one thing that makes or breaks a vendor, it would be how much that vendor pays for his or her merchandise.
Settle for Less - Get More
Some place great value on how new and expensive their vehicle is, others on their video collection, etc. What about the price they paid? Do they buy retail? Could they have used this money in a better direction?
Where Dealers Buy and a Few Jokes For the Road
Most amateur dealers are desperate to make a sale and sell way below the 3x mark up rule. Catalogs can be a great source of merchandise if you get one that the other dealers don't know about.
Where To Get Your Merchandise
Many cities have stores that sell merchandise at wholesale prices. You probably will need some sort of ID and a state resell tax number to buy from them.
Table Swapping
Table swapping can bring in some really nice profits. Buy low and sell high. The idea here is to buy from the amateur tailgater.
Hard Luckers
Sometimes a vendor will get disgusted and sell everything at a give-away close-out price to just quit and get home. Often bad health forces a vendor to take whatever is offered.
Dumpster Diving
Dumpsters are a treasure-house of discarded stuff. They often contain 100's of dollars of things that you can sell at a flea market.
What to Sell
If you work a large market, there will be a lot of new merchandise, most of which comes from one of the wholesale magazines.
Where to Get Products
Some companies specialize in store returns. These are usually sold by the pallet or by the truckload.
Regular Markets and How to Find Them
If you have access to phone books, it's often easy to locate markets in other towns. Just look under "Flea Markets".
What You Will Need on the Road
If you have the spare parts along, you can usually fix the problem yourself.
Most Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
If you want people to walk down the outside of your booth on the sides, make sure you make space for them inside of your rented area.
How to Deal With Jerk Vendors
Occasionally, you will set up next to someone unpleasant. They will try to take advantage of you. You must nip this in the bud.
Price Wars
The buyers love them. The poor vendor who is going to "teach you a lesson" is losing money right and left just to make his point.
Never Sell Low on Friday
It is usually a bad idea to drop your prices on Friday. Keep your prices the same as always for Friday and Saturday.
Prices, Prices, Prices
Always price your merchandise lower than what major retailer gets (that is, if they have the same stuff). Make sure you buy low enough to be flexible with your prices.
Sell Your Own Products
Some vendors make and sell their own products. There can be big money in this.
