    Probably not much… Carnie look alikes and burnout record junkies don’t go for that stuff unless they’re buying girfts for their girlfriends. But I don’t judge.

    take a look at etsy.com as well. The amount you make really varies. I have a neighbour that does fairly well selling home made jewelery and hats, but she goes to conventions to desplay her stuff, and has a wide selection of items.
    The type of item you sell and the amount of traffic through your website or at the flea market will determine how well things sell. If you do get a website up be sure to have some cards with the URL availible at your flea market table so people with general interest can check back frequently.

    Approach your friends who already have businesses that you will sell their products on consignment. When you sell at a flea market. You end up selling different collections of items. A few will be saleable so concentrate the volume on those. A few will never move off the table so of course, keep the inventory to zero.
    Food seems to always sell but you need helpers.
    TFlea market selling is an ongoing thing, so try your products on the first few times you rent a table.

    I sell jewelry and purses through purse party. I love it! And the money is good. Maybe you should check into something like that.

    I have done very well with a company called Scent-Sations.

    We have created a website that gives detailed information about the business and how to get started. We recommend that you visit and watch the video. Be sure to fill out the form and we will email you all the information you will need to determine if this business is for you.
