It may give you an idea if the items will even sell. You might consider selling lots to dealers in your area who would be familiar with the market and the items.Īlso, as a friend of mine said to me after a couple of year of selling at a flea market, "Amazing how cheap the prices went at the end of the day when (inexperienced) sellers realized they had to pack up everything that didn't sell."ĭo a search on ebay of like items that have sold. If she thinks a board game would sell for $25, she'll buy it for for no more than $10, for example, preferably $5, from non-family. For non-family members, she buys items outright (at wholesale) rather than selling on commission. If it's something she can sell with no maintenance, she charges me 25%. Anything that is not subject to the discount must be marked "Firm."ĭepending upon the items seh sells for me, she takes 50% if she has to clean, fix, paint, etc. She says that anything over $25 is automatically availlable for a 10% discount if the customer asks (without checking with booth owners) so she prices according. However, If two or three people offer $10 for an item you have marked at $25, it may be an indication that the price needs to be dropped to $15.Ī family member of mine has a booth in a second hand/antique mall. You could mark prices "Firm" which (supposedly) means no haggling. You wouldn't necessarily have to haggle at the swap meet, though many expect it.
