<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Half Dime, post: 26779450, member: 153164&quot;]I currently set up at a flea market, and some months business is incredible, while other months it&#039;s not so good.</p><p><br /></p><p>How much you will get per month depends on location, competition, and who you are targeting. Most of my sales are composed of items for a few dollars, or silver, which quickly adds up either way. The most I&#039;ve done in a month is just over $800 (was in October, which seems to be a good month for me in coin dealing), and the least I&#039;ve closed out at was about $180, which was in my first month.</p><p><br /></p><p>Take the advice of Mike (ToughCOINS) and put it to good use. The only problem with declaring profits is that in a traditional flea market, how you know what you&#039;ve sold can all depend on who is working and what they type into the register. If I see I sold a coin for $5, and it says something like &quot;buffalo&quot;, I have a good idea of what it is, but if it says &quot;coin&quot;, and I have multiple $5 items, it can get difficult.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once you pull out of the flea market, it can be really hard to get back in (most of them around me have waiting lists as long as a year), so if you have a rough month with selling, it&#039;s best to stay there for at least a little while longer.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first month will likely be somewhat uneventful as people start to see your case. If you have what they like, it can pick up fast.</p><p><br /></p><p>If your customers are happy with your prices, then you&#039;re doing good even if it&#039;s not as much monetarily. </p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, expect it to be completely unpredictable. You could have someone buy $200 or more in a single transaction, or someome could buy a coin for $0.20 - personally, I perfer consistency. If you can sell $10 every day, that beats selling $300 in a single transaction for the entire month, because $10 each day likely signifies returning customers. </p><p><br /></p><p>Yeah, this is kinda long but I hope it helps. I&#039;d recommend doing it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
