Flea Market business

Does anyone have any experience with a flea market business? I have started a small flea market business where I look for wholesale lots on ebay and resell them at flea markets. I also look for free stuff to sell to help keep prices low. Unfortunately with my full time job I don't have the spare time to make it out every weekend. It's more like every other weekend or once a month. When I do get out I do OK and usually draw a profit. I would like to hear other peoples experiences with this.

I do not but my husbands Uncle goes to estate sales as well as Storage unit sales to buy items for his stall. He does well at the storage units. I guess it all matters on what you buy to sell. I mean are you doing clothes or items?

I'm open to all items. Most of the clothes I sell are from my own wardrobe that I either don't fit into anymore or am thinning out my drawers. Other items include incense, body jewlery, novelty items, and jewlery.

do you have time to go out to yard sales, rummage sales, estate sales? if you do then you can pick up things that you will be able to make a profit off for sure. no doubt you just have to know what to buy. If you need some ideas what to buy add me as friend and I will pm u and give you some tips on what to buy at the sales. Take care.
