Title: Local antique market sponsered a free parking lot flea market
Post by: Ironman on April 05, 2011, 04:43:27 AM
SAG sponsered this and it was a huge success! We set up at 7 a.m. and closed down at 5 p.m. Took up six parking spaces for us to show all the smalls and stuff from units that didn't sell on CL and we did good. All that small stuff netted out to $1234.00 not bad for a bunch of odd ball stuff from sewing baskets to gym bags. Nothing big just 1 to 20 dollar items. Thought I was going to get stuck taking 4 stereos and 5 cameras (35mm) back to storage when all of a sudden there was a run and all but one small stereo sold!! Out of all of it we sold out 85% of what we took..............a very very good day.

Great one day flea.........

Yep, that was a good one!  Been a couple of years since I had a $1,200 day.

Wow, Ironman!  That was a good sale!  It's starting to get warm around here, so maybe we'll have some outdoor flea markets opening up soon.  How much do they charge in your area to rent a space?  Healthe

That one was free as the store owner was trying to drive traffic into his antique store and boy did it work. typically it is an average of $30 a day per space (9'x12') outside.
