successful moms
Are you successful at selling at the flea market?
I am trying this for the third time. The first time I was successful but not the first time. I am trying to see around my cluttered home what should I take. I have tons of household deals but what about clothing? That doesn’t seem to go so fast or not at all. What tips can you give me. My 10year old wants to help and give donations to the collection to go toward her Mom a 30th birthday party.
Yes, I’m very successful at this.
Be sure all your stuff is clean. It’s better if it’s up on tables so it can be reached rather than on the ground. I use folding tables and cover them with nice tablecloths. I make sure stuff is clean and clearly priced before the sale. Clothes are much easier to look at if they are hung up, you also want to be sure they are not crowded all jammed into each other. Obviously clothes to be sold should be clean. If you are going to sell shoes at all, they better be perfect and clean. Don’t put old, dirty or worn shoes out, they just devalue the appearance of everything else.
Have things logically sorted and easily accessible. Be sure to figure on parking and have LOTS of change.
I usually recruit a friend to hang out and help me, but my yard sales are humongous as I’m a yard saler myself.
Don’t be afraid to say no to a ridiculous offer, but don’t be afraid to bargain, it can be fun! If someone is really rude (there’s always at least one…sigh…) don’t be shy about asking them to leave.
Keep close tabs on any jewelry you may put out and use a fanny pack for money, not a purse or box. If you do use a purse or box, don’t put it down, even for a second.
Earlier this week I saw an excellent article on yahoo about turning your clutter to cash that had lots of great advice.
