[QUOTE="Jammed, post: 862810, member: 24691"]Pilkenton, I have been working out of a flea mkt. for almost 7 years. Although, I don't sell my coins there. There's a guy that already does that. Flea mkt vendors are very competitive. Don't go in thinking you're going to make money. You will have to build a reputation. I have discovered that customers will not buy, right away from an unknown vendor. People that visit flea mkts. are usually repeats. They need to know you're going to be there for awhile. The next challenge; most customers have what I call a flea mkt. mentality, they want something for nothing. Once you set a price, stick to it. If they are really interested, they'll be back. It took me about a year to get established every Sat. & Sun., all 4 seasons. Now my customers come looking for me! If you decide to do this you will need Patience. Oh, what do I sell? Handmade soy candles. I do very well, it allows me to buy more coins :goofer: Best of luck!!!![/QUOTE]
