    You should be adding shipping costs to overall cost of an item. Some eBay sellers do the $0.01 for the item then tack on $29.99 shipping and handling so they only have to refund you $0.01 if what they send you is defective. I tend to stay away from those guys, but sometimes you have no choice.

    I'd be interested in seeing comparisons of these flea markets (Mansfield, Brimfield, Stormville, etc) in terms of how busy each one gets during different dates... I mean, a comparison of Mansfield at different times of the year, Stormville at different times of the year, etc if that makes any sense.

    • @fleabittenadventures
      @fleabittenadventures  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, I have multiple videos of each flea market since about 2021. The spring and fall shows are the busiest. The summer shows are the least crowded because it's usually so hot.

    • @DanknDerpyGamer
      @DanknDerpyGamer 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​@@fleabittenadventures Sounds like it lines up with what a vendor told me when I went to Stormville in September, who skipped the summer months.
      (Going in September didn't stop the wasps and hornets - running low on foor and becoming more aggressive at that time of the year - from being a pain in the nuts though. 😂)
      Memorial Day seems to be a prime day in terms of size at least in the case of Stormville. (It's the only one I know currently - watching your videos has expanded my horizons in places to go

      Part of my curiosity actually stems though from when I was little, in the late 90s... went up to Stormville on a dreary, rainy day - and I'll always remember 1) it being a lot smaller, which probably depended on the time of year, 2) that they actually still had airplanes on the field, and 3) the Matchbox American Airlines bus I picked up there that year, and still have.
      It basically made me curious about the dynamics of these things, the sizes at different times of year.
