So, lots of Pyrex and cameras. I also learned that when I'm in my booth working I tend to sell more. See Saturday, 11/30. I think sometimes people like to make a connection. It's one of the reasons I like to do flea markets.
Okay, so the big question... What's selling in your area? Leave me a comment. Send me an email. Or write your own blog post.
Happy Sales!

Always interesting to see what is selling in the antique booths! I don't have one myself but hope you get some info back. Thanks for linking to TTF!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! really enjoyed your blog. seasonal items are selling for me right now, but in my area vintage retro cameras are hot as well.
ReplyDeleteMy booth definitely slows down in the winter months, but I made more last Nov and Dec compared to this year (so far). I made a recent trip to the booth and tried to make it merry and festive without drowning in Christmas. I believe sales in general have slowed down everywhere and it's not just my booth. I try to make my prices comparable to similar items in other booths, but I know for a fact that some of my stuff is priced much lower and they're not moving. I opened the booth because I was tired of selling online (ebay) and I like being able to physically arrange things myself. The downside is having to make sure I have plenty of merchandise to keep the booth filled. I've considered closing it out, but goodness! Where would I put everything?
ReplyDeleteSomething else I need to consider is I live in an area where people are not willing to pay $20 for a pyrex bowl versus if I sold in a more suburban area where I could probably price things higher. It's frustrating for me because I can't make a 2-hour trip to the city every week and afford the booth rent. Seriously considering selling at DC Big Flea next year where booth rent for a weekend is $250, but 1000s of people would be viewing and buying from the booth.
