- Have you been wanting to learn about how to sell at a flea market? UPDATE: We've added a simple "Flea Market Set Up Check List" to our website - download it for free here: buyingandselli... us on our 3-day Flea Market experience! As you watch us unload a bunch of our excess yard sale finds, you'll pick up some solid flea market selling tips, you'll also learn from a few things we could have done better.
We learned quite a bit about signage and also traffic flow. As you'll see on Day 2, not having the best signage or location definitely hurt our ability to get potential customers to see what we had to offer.
We forgot to mention in the video itself whether or not changing the signs from white to "yard sale pink" helped. It did. We had fewer "How much is this?" questions.
Is selling at a flea market profitable? Depending on what you are looking to sell, we think so - at least it is in our experience!
We invite you to subscribe to our channel where you can see the types of things we find at yard sales, garage sales, estate sales and thrift stores with the intent to resell on eBay and, of course, the occasional flea market!
If you find our information to be helpful, please give us a thumbs up and a comment - that helps us a lot! And also, if you have a question for me, feel free to ask in the comments below.

You have good ideas and concepts.
Thank you so much! We appreciate your comment, and kind words!
John, this video was SO informative! Every question that I had while watching, you answered. I sell on eBay and am about to sell at the flea market for the first time and was wondering: Do people tend to haggle a LOT on price? I know that’s the game of the flea market, but if you price something at $50, is somebody offering you $10? I’m just unsure where to draw the line on price. Thanks! 😊
Hi Adrianna, Thank you, and so glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful! In answer to your question: The earlier ones will be mostly dealers and will be looking for wholesale pricing. If you have some stuff you want to get rid of, sell it to them! But start your price a little higher than you'd like to get so they feel as though they got some deal. If they are insultingly low, just tell them, "Maybe at the end of the day, but not right now!"
We did one recently and the lowest offer I got on a $50 item was $20, and I said no. Had he offered $30-$35 I probably would have taken it. But 60% off offers insult me, frankly. Yes, people haggle - especially the regular dealer crowd. But, if you have stuff to get rid of, they will buy it, and put it on THEIR table! Happens all the time, and we don't care. Let THEM wait a month to sell it at a higher price; I got rid of it in 5 minutes. I can always get more!
Get there early - they'll be waiting with flashlights! They'll see you and know you are bringing "fresh meat" to the market! 😂😂 I hope you have a good flea market! Let me know how it goes, and good luck!
@@JohnsYardSaleFinds That all makes perfect sense, thank you! I like the line about "Maybe at the end of the day," that's a good idea. Extreme lowballers insult me too, even on eBay! I tend to reject those offers simply out of principle 🤣 But my objective for the flea market is to get rid of stuff AND make money, so I'll work on being patient and calmly negotiating, haha. I'll let you know how it goes, thank you! 😁
@@adriannavilla998 So glad some of the hints will be helpful. Definitely let us know how it goes!
@@JohnsYardSaleFinds Well my first flea market day is in the books - it was gloomy and rainy, but we still scraped out $500! 😁
It’s tiring work, but a real rush to make that kind of money in a day. And now that I’ve had some practice I feel a lot more prepared for next week! 👍🏼
@@adriannavilla998 That's awesome! Not bad for your first try! And on a rainy day to boot. Keep it up, and let us know how it goes when you try it on a better weather day. Curious: What kind of stuff are you selling?
✌🏼💚We used to do flea markets in NH, now we are just doing one in Newfane Vermont 💚✌🏼
If we're ever out your way we'll have to check out what the flea market is like there! Tomorrow we're heading down to Merrimack, NH for a few days off, and Sunday we'll be going over to the Hollis Flea Market (one of my videos from last summer shows that one if you haven't seen that one!). The Hollis Flea Market is where I had my original "Aha moment" with buying and reselling! Thank you so much for watching and commenting! We very much appreciate you.
Thanks John! Great video
Glad you found it helpful! Thank you so much for watching! We appreciate it!
How much does it cost you in space rental, gas, tolls and cost of inventory?
Hi Andrew! We're setting up with 3 tables for 3 days at this particular flea market. Each day has a different cost (Saturday being the most expensive day). For us, it ends up being right around $120 or so for the 3 days. It's only 6 miles away, so gas is negligible (no tolls for us). Cost of goods sold varies. We rarely have more than 20-30% into anything we're selling. Lots of it is stuff from larger lots where the lots are already paid for (e.g. sold on eBay). The majority of the inventory sells for 2-5 times what we paid for it (we're really selling it wholesale for the most part). Hope this helps! We have a new Flea Market video coming soon! We just set up again recently. Stay tuned! And thanks for watching!
do you sell at flea markets or online as well
Primarily on line; we set up at the flea market to help liquidate inventory that doesn't have the best ROI potential. Ordinarily we'd just sell off the inventory at a yard sale, but we don't have enough property to do a yard sale. So it's worth it to us to just rent the tables a couple of times a year. Thanks for watching!
What flea market are you at
Hi Joe, we were at the Port Orange (FL) Flea Market on Rt 1. We did this same market in the 3-part videos we posted this past December, and then a few days later we did the one in Deland, FL (we did a video on that one as well). Thanks for watching!
👍🏻
Thanks for the thumbs up! It was a fun (but very long) 3 days!
Where is your flea market? like some stuff.
This particular one is in Port Orange, FL. We only set up a couple of times each season. There are other ones nearby - Deland (at the Volusia County Fairgrounds), and some other places.
Good for me I live in Daytona
@@colleenmoriarty1309 We'll do another sale in a few months... We'll make a short announcement on the channel before we do.
