So you need to make more money.


So you need to make more money.                                                                                                            You could go out and get a 2nd job working for someone else or you could start your own business.          

Becoming a flea marking vendor is as easy as 1 – 2 – 3.

    1. Find your local flea market and see what it takes to set up.
    2. Go into everyroom of your home with a box and put in everything you no longer want.
    3. Go to the flea market set up, and sell it!

I am not kidding about that being as easy as it is. That's how I got started about 5 years ago.


First finding your local flea market to get the details on setting up. Just go to Google and look it up 95% of the time all the information you need is there.

  • Try to find an established flea market close to home that is set up to operate every weekend
  • of a season. Established flea markets with good schedules will attract both vendors and shoppers. (more vendors = more shopper's so more shopper's = more money)

  • If it is a Saturday, Sunday flea market then you want to be there both days. If you can't be there both day's try to be there on Sunday!!!!! 95% of the time Sunday is the better money day!!!!!

  • If you are doing this only once or twice a season you will be best to pick week end's that are also the beginning of a month. People seem to have and spend more money the first 2 weekends of the month than they do the last 2 weekends.



Go into everyroom of your house with a box.

Just about EVERYTHING sells at a flea market. Dishes, clothing, TOYS, TOOLS, books, pots and pans, electronics, and Furnitures.

  • If you don't think you have enough ask your friends and family, for their unwanted items.

  • Go to the flea market set up, and sell it!


Set up, what that means is to set up the things on your table, don't just dump them on the table.

  • You want to make sure everything is clean and priced.

  • You will want to bring a table cloth and a dust rag.

  • You will want to make sure you bring money to make change with.


Well this is my easy 1 – 2 – 3 of starting out at the flea market. I will write more flea market common sense later. Please let me know if you liked this post, found it helpful. Thank you Lori Renee
