Well I tossed my stallion up for $5 since someone had another for $10.  Will see if I get a bite or not.  I'm still trying to figure out where I got it from.  I want to say it was out of one of my girls toy chest but honestly don't remember buying it.

I just learned what to look for in horses, match box cars, and silverware.  Soon I'll have to do a MoiveMan and use an ipad, mostly to keep track of what to look for

All of my computer stuff did well.  Made a little over $400 after fees.  So between that, the flea sales, and a few CL sales I'm at the break even point I think from my big loss last year.  Will have to calculate it tonight.  If factor in what I've kept then I should finally be in the black.

Money - I hope your aunt does stuff for you.  I try not to sell other people's items at the flea.  If they want me to sell their stuff (for free).  They best be helping me in some other way.  I just have too much work and not enough time/pay to do everything for free for friends / relatives.  Certain exclusions do apply

That is great Money.  Vendor's can be ruthless or very helpfull.  Just depends on the person I've learned.  Early in the morning the first two dozen people you get are only looking for jewelry / coins.  I've had the same people ask me that questions mutliple times during the day.  No - I don't have gold jewelry that I'm stupid about and going to sell to you for $5.

I've learned the market shifts greatly from trip to trip.  Not sure why but some days my CD/DVD/Games sell like hotcakes.  This week I only sold 1.  Flip side - my world coins sold pretty well and normally only get interest in "US silver/gold" coins.  Go figure.

I did learn some new things this last time.  I had a horse tossed in with a bunch of other horses, toys, etc. in my $.50 item.  One of the ladies down 3 tables pulled it out and told me I may not want to sell it w/o doing some research.  Was a Bryer horse or something.  Ebay has them for $10+, so I put it on ebay for $5 to see.  Pulled out a bunch of silverware that was "Franklin Silversmith - China" stamped on it.  So trying to sell on ebay instead of the $.25 each they were being tossed in.

Every trip I take to the flea I learn something new.  So even when don't make much money I'm at least learning value of items I didn't have a clue about.

I've done the shopgoodwill.com auctions a few times.  Those prices have gotten up there anymore to just not be worth it.  The local SA does an auction auction the first of every month.  Not checked Goodwill auctions locally however.  Never seen a sign or paper advertisement.  Who knows - could be missing something.

Cloths I stay away from.  Heck - I donate boxes upon boxes of them to Goodwill each month.  Electronics, and tools I'll research and buy.  Have sometimes found craftsman, snap-on, etc. tools for $.50 to $1 in various stores.  Guy next to me this weekend at the flea said he takes all the rusted, pitted, etc. craftsman back to sears for tradein.  Then waits a month or so and takes the new packages back to the store for gift cards.  I could see that working around Christmas but who knows if that works all the time.

My biggiest problem is I need to learn how to test electronics or repair them.  I have multiple older stero systems that power up but no speaker to test.  Also have 3 car radio amps, a box of car radios, two-way mixer, etc. from this last unit.  Don't want to scrap them till I know they don't work or are worthless.

I've found for most items the 1 free picture is enough.  I also offer to email them higher quality pictures if they want.  Of course I've not gotten all fancy with ebay yet and don't use any of the tools.  May have to start as I'm getting more and more into it again.

Heck - you know how much a good casket could sell for

Think I would of passed on that one.  Then again since my wife is into CSI and working on her masters she would of gone for it.

Since I'm going to be out of town next weekend and not able to sell I figured I would give this weekend at the flea a try.  Weather was going to be mid 60s, sunny, with wind of 5-10 mph.  Only had a few times with wind, and temp was nice.  Crowds were heavier then I expected.  I ended up with my 2nd best single day.  Didn't get rid of a ton of new inventory but got rid of some odd shape items that don't fit in totes well.

Big hits were:

.25 bucket
.50 bucket
world coins

Also traded 2 items that hadn't sold in 3 months for some brand new gas stove grates.  These things are heavy cast iron and worth scrap if can't sell them.  Bout to check fleabay.
