Flea markets offer everyone a great opportunity to make money at a low price. You can rent a booth for less than $ 5 a day, depending on where the market is located. The money you make may vary based on the items you sell, competition and customer demand. Becoming such a seller is easy in the United States.
Steps
Step 1. Find the flea market where you want to settle
You can also search for it online.
Step 2. Obtain the sales tax identification number and other necessary licenses
Most flea market owners will tell you where you can get the sales tax identification number in your area. They will also tell you what other licenses you will need (if you need them).
Step 3. Look for some items to sell
The items you can sell are numerous. The places to get them can vary: items that come from your garage, others bought at neighborhood auctions to products bought in bulk.
Step 4. Pay the stand rental fee and arrange your products for sale
Some markets offer tables. If not, you'll need to bring your own. Arrange your items neatly and start selling.
Step 5. Be engaging
Don't sit still, every article should have a story. The better the story, the more chances to sell.
Advice
- Visit the flea markets closest to you to determine the type of clientele, the number of vendors and the items sold before deciding which one to settle in.
- Ask the market owner what services are offered to sellers. Some provide a newsletter offering sales advice, local auction dates and times and places to buy products, etc.
