OK you guys made me laugh..."Hagar the Horrible? Who's that?" Can I be ad young as you guys again? Lol loved reading that comic on Sundays as a kid way before 1993...yes I'm old

[@karmadump]

Ted, I was reading it as an adult in 1993. Josh, Hagar the Horrible is a daily print newspaper cartoon that started in 1973. It has also had a TV special or 2 and an animated cartoon is in the works, by the Jim Henson Company. I didn't know almost any of that before I just looked it up on wikipedia. I just remember reading the strip as a kid in the 80's. I didn't know it was even still in print. Basically, the premise is "day in the life of a family man who is also a viking"

My flea market charges $25 per “spot”, and they don’t come around to collect the fee until around 10:00 so that sellers can have time to “earn” money to pay the space rental fees. I think it is a very fair practice which favors the sellers!

Josh, check it out: I had a yardsale and I had a chair that I wanted to just get outta my house so I had like $5.00 on it and not one person would take it. Three weeks later I had a sister holding a yardsale and I took my chair and stuck $50 on it and had several people who wanted it all at the same time!! I figured the lower price turned people off? Humans, whatta ya gonna do?

I enjoyed watching you and Hayley at the flea market but I enjoy watching you buy at the flea market even more. I like the way you bond with the sellers. I look forward to seeing the "Shoe Lady" and the "golf club guy" and your other go to sellers. I agree, if you sell once a quarter that would be good. I guess it beats having a yard sale.

[@HoosierCarnivore]

Never underestimate people's ability to be cheap a$$es. The money you made wasn't bad. Better to move out dead stuff and turn $185 into sellable inventory. Selling at the flea market quarterly sounds like a solid plan. Might be a good place to get rid of larger stuff you don't want to ship. Great video!!

[@denniselgatoblanco824]

Highlights of this video 1) Mose trying to tell you how to spend the money on toys for him 2) Hayley's maniacal LETS GO TO GOODWILL smile 3) not knowing about the classic comic strip Hagar the Horrible (I know, you're young!) 4) showing your hat cleaning method, as I asked about that recently. Love you guys so much!

[@lolo7943]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who also feels like you do....I thought maybe I was being too "snooty". I sold stuff for the first time at our local flea market recently and folks thought 3 bucks was too much for a puzzle! These were Ravensburger puzzles...still sealed in plastic....brand new in pristine condition....straight from the distributor(now restricted for me to sell on Amazon)! I was saying to myself, "This ain't the Dollar Tree!" I still made about $50 in 3 hours...to lease a space was just $8 for all day. I left at noon because it was a big college football day.😀

[@storagechasers7403]

Very cool to see you experience the other side of the business. We enjoy selling at that flea market as well. We only sell there on Wednesdays because the tables are only $7 each, But you can set up your own tables behind theirs at no additional charge. For example, you have seen our setup out there and it only costs $14. We only use the space that is behind the two table spaces and try not to block traffic. We also sell a lot to other vendors before daylight. Probably about 30% of our daily total is from other vendors and then the between 9-11 is when we get hit by the most traffic out there. Don't get discouraged by people trying to lowball you or talk you down on an already low price. Remember, That's what you are doing out there when buying too. We enjoy the negotiating more then the selling. Its more of a means to the end. We need to get rid of stuff to make money to buy more storage units. Ok, enough ramblings. We enjoyed the video and the new prospective that you have for us Flea market resellers. We are a strange community, but fun. Keep up the great content. Oh, we hit 500 subscribers today. The 500th person said he came over from your channel!! Thanks again and God Bless.

[@dechinta]

I sold at flea markets for decades and almost all of the sales were made before daylight by other vendors. Most definitely. I tended to sell things for really inexpensively, so my tables would be swarmed by those who wanted cheap items to sell for a big profit. I didn't like selling to other vendors, but I just wanted to sell. A lot of vendors are devious and buy things for cheap and then you go by their booths later and they're telling some big tales. I sold a candy dish to another vendor one time and I happened to pass by his booth and he was telling some lady that it belonged to his grandmother and it was so sentimental to him, but his grandmother needed an operation so they were having to sell her possessions even if it killed them. I wanted to set the record straight because I hate liars, but I just walked by and said, "Hope you're selling a lot grandson." He looked at me like he could kill me, but he had just purchased that candy dish about an hour previously and was trying to make the new customer feel sorry for him. And sooo many vendors are always telling people they have to raise money for their granny's surgery. When they don't even have a granny. I'm a firm believer in karma and when people lie to make sales, I don't think the karma is going to help them one bit. But yeah, the majority of my sales were made before daylight.

[@SmashingDesign]

My mom does the flea market we give her all our Dumpster diving finds that I'm not selling on eBay. Your experience is spot on. From the table being rushed to cheap people. This I why I try support local vendors not only for resale but to buy for personal use. It's a grind to be out there.

Even my younger self knew that the Sunday comics are literally the only good part of the newspaper! I'm in the same age bracket as Mr. Tornado and definitely recognized Hagar the Horrible. That sweater was an AMAZING find. Not only was it just aesthetically pleasing, but I'm sure it's probably got a collectible factor going for it. Hailey has a GREAT eye!

[@GuerreroFamilyWalks]

Yep, I'm 30 and I remember the Sunday comics!!! They were in color on Sundays and they were the best part of the paper.

[@elaines5179]

You ran into the perceived value wall. Years ago my brother a nurseryman scored many thousands of azalea starts/roots cuttings. Tried selling them at 10 cents apiece and they wouldn't sell. He raised the price to $1 each and they sold like hotcakes, is what I was told. Too cheap and the potential buyer believes your valuation.

Funny, that I was just selling at the flea market yesterday. I go every few months to get rid of mostly stuff that I want to get rid of, at any price, which is 90% items that I got for free, or items I have no use for, or are too expensive to ship. I've done quite well, but always remember that it's "Lowballer's heaven" and they want it for next to nothing. So get in their mindset- They want to feel like they got a deal. That remote you said "50 cents" I would've said, "A dollar or "Two dollars", and accepted their dollar or 50 cents offer. Our flea market doesn't open until 9am, and your first browsers will be other vendors circling like vultures. When they ask a price, I'll give it to them, but tell them to check back, as my price gets lower as the day goes on. I also hand out my business cards.

Thank You Josh Hayley & Mose.. We appreciate you in the UK !!

[@sarasotathriftjunkie7209]

I've been a flea market vendor in FL, NJ, OH and NY, all had different rules and set up. Some you waited in line in your car at 5am then drove to whatever spot you desired that was left. If you are a regular vendor you pay by the month and have the same spot in other markets, some you're assigned a spot based on what you're selling and can't be more than 10 spots away from someone selling the same or similar. I think what we learned from this video is you guys usually buy from the same vendors so the same would happen for you if you chose to be there weekly. Mine was open 4 days a week, it does get tiring but we always found that if we stayed till the end, we always made more money. When everyone is packed up and gone, people still want to buy. I was selling jewelry and beads so it was all new. Great video to show how things work. But true on vendors buying from vendors first thing. We have a market here that anyone with a business license is allowed in a fenced off area to buy wholesale before the market opens. I learned a lot by doing different markets.

About the Nike Team jersey; polyester is a synthetic material so stains can't actually set in. Dishwashing liquid or Qxy Clean soak for a couple hours will lift those out easy. i've revived plenty of vintage Champion jerseys that way.

We been doing the flea market in our area for over 7 years now but it's only once a month April thru October and we have a roof over our heads and it's at a really cool outdoor patio bar with live music and sits on the river. It rubs from 9-5 on Saturday and Sunday..makes for a long day but we average $500-700$ each time which isn't bad for since most our items are $20 or less

[@cyndywise172]

Our flea market is a commitment. It is held the third weekend of every month at our local fairgrounds. There are vendors inside a large building, vendors on the sidewalk under the building canopy, vendors is a section of the parking lot that is blocked off, and vendors way in the back in the dirt in the animal arena. There are also a couple small buildings, one is the chicken house and one is the concession stand and they both have long time vendors in them. It is held both Saturday and Sunday. Some vendors are there both days, most are not. The vendors prepay for the next month while they are there and they get the same spot. If you miss a month, you go to the end of the waiting list. The inside spots are always filled first and if one opens up, they offer the first outside vendor the opportunity to move inside. By first, I mean the one who has been there the longest. When it is cold, the animal arena usually does not have any vendors because there is no electricity out there for heaters and no one is going to sit out there when it is below freezing. It is a year round flea market, rain, shine, sleet, snow, whatever the weather. The only time it was closed was in 2020 during Covid our state was shut down and they were not considered essential. They used the fairgrounds for Covid vaccines instead. Ironically, our county fair stopped a few years back, so the only thing the fairgrounds is used for now is the flea market, gun shows, craft fairs, antique shows, the dog show, rv shows, and of course stock car racing. There are vendors at our flea market that have been there for 20+ years, in the same spot. I know if I need a handmade leather belt, the belt guy is there on Saturday's in the back room on the right. LOL Most of the items are priced for collectors. Too high for resellers. Every now and again you can find a deal, but while we enjoy going, we rarely buy anything to sell.

[@sharona3048]

One thing that has sold for me in the Women's clothes department is long denim skirts with NO slits in the bottom of the skirt. I typically look for ones that don't look frumpy but aren't too tight either. Also, they should not have an only elastic waistband. I wear this kind of thing myself and know it is hard to find in the thrift store. Some women who want to wear modest skirts will pay about $20-$25 plus shipping for a skirt like this. I even sold one to someone overseas and they must have been all in about $50 for a used skirt. (That one did have some fancy embroidery on it though.)

[@sharona3048]

@@SimpleQuietLife Of course a good brand would be nice, but I haven't looked for particular brands. I look for good qualities in the skirt. Things like pockets, no slits, embroidery, length at least down to the knees, one that doesn't need ironing, and one that looks modest, but modern at the same time.

I loved seeing the other side of the flea market. I wonder if it might be better worth your time to make a deal with a vendor.

[@garyschuck7928]

So I just watched this and I used to do a fairly big flea market here in southern Illinois 20 years ago plus, it’s only once a month on a Saturday and Sunday. Also have done a lot of auto swap meets throughout the years. With that being said it does suck setting up in the dark and being swarmed by people before being set up, but you have to stay there all day if you want to sell everything you can. I’ve sold quite a bit early but also sell a lot later too when sellers have sold some of their stuff and have money to spend, that’s when they come by and buy stuff or people looking for a little better deal. Sold a lot while trying to pack up after being at a sale all day too! Love watching you two!

[@scottjean8391]

A little late to the discussion but what you experienced is typical to what we see. We get to our flea market at about 3:30 -4 am to get the spot we want. The spot we get is near a restroom so everyone that goes to the restroom has to pass by our booth. We also have mostly vendors come by our booth with flashlights. We always joking say that flashlight shoppers pay full price. We have tried the no price on anything route most of the time but when we priced most everything, people tended to shop more. We would say that most of these prices are starting points if it looks like someone was contemplating a price. We tend to price a little lower than ebay to leave meat on the bone for other vendors who come by. It is almost impossible to predict what people are going to want. We try to cater to the season we are in. We are in Indiana so when the sales start again in the spring, that when the fishing and sporting goods come out. Try to match what the other vendors are doing to get the best sales. I hope this helps.

Another option is local auction house that does Friday and Saturday sales. You have more fees depending on the auction company, but it’s quick easy way to sell items that don’t move on eBay.

[@michelledominguez59]

Hello there guys my experience is that you have regular vendors who sale regularly. So they knew you were a new guy who will be selling just this once . So they knew it would be cheaper cuz you want to get rid of stuff and fast . I had the same experience my first time selling at a flea market . People surrounded me and my children with flashlights and there was like 25 people just asking Me how much and digging through my stuff even helping me unload my stuff just to buy it and then them selling it at there booth for more money that same day . They cleaned Me out. I left way so early. People were coming in and it got so packed . That's just the way they roll out there in the flea markets... I'm glad you experienced it with your wife and got a closer look at the whole experience of there life in the flea Markets out there . Yes people are looking for bargains and not really knowing if they should buy what you have to sell. They need to be talked into buying your item. Your item can be good and cheap but they hesitate a little bit just cuz they don't know if they should buy it or not. People do that why? They are unsure 🤔

[@lsaint87l]

To this point, your skills at flipping more profitable items are way more worth your time than dealing with the less look out for. Sell it as a lot on marketplace for $50. A day of yours is worth more than $150. You rule, keep on going on my friend. Love your vids!

[@superblexx]

Yep I like that idea

[@cupidslittlesister]

Flea market vending is its own beast. We do it every Sunday. What you experienced is very typical. We do a lot of storage unit flipping and also have 3rd party suppliers for a lack of better words. We get to a point in the day where you know you have made the most money that you are going to get. Also if you are willing to take the loss and don't want to pack up what is left, we do a dollar sale and that is when almost everything that we have left goes. A good day for us is about 600 and a bad day is about 150 after fees. Also in reference to a previous video and the Marshall hat. Watch the movie We Are Marshall. It is based on what happened and explains the We are....

Hairy T's comment about making sure that the time you spend on something is worth the payout is spot on! After reselling full time for over a year, I've learned a lot about how to spend time effectively. To that end, I have found through experience that buying lots or items in bulk has many advantages over having to drive place to place to get a few items per trip. Usually your price per piece is lower when you buy lots at at time, the amount of inventory coming in at once would have taken you several trips to find otherwise so you save time too..Just a thought. It's not a great strategy for making an engaging video (my videos included)....but it is good for business. You can do this online also. I commonly buy things on Ebay, for example, split up and sell individually back on Ebay and make 3-4x my investment. Cheers!

[@MF-zh4ig]

Our local bootfairs say buyers and sellers can come from 6am but if you go at 5am or even 4am there will be a decent number of sellers (mainly house clearance) and at least 50-100 dealers. The biggest deals are generally made before it's officially open. I know of some resellers in the UK who get to their bootfairs at 3am and there are already sellers and other dealers ready. I also know plenty of vendors who will sell at more than one bootfair a day on the weekend. They might go to one at 4 or 5 and stay until 7, then go to another at 7:30 until 11 then another in the afternoon at 13:30.

My Brother loved Hagar the Horrible when we were kids! We used to read the Hagar comics on Sunday from the newspaper!

Loved u flea market vid man waiting for the next one hopefully with a dark flash light vid 👌😋.

[@brideoflevi]

Yes, was hoping you would try this!!

[@zachhaidek5591]

The flea market is how we got started reselling, And we experienced the same things y’all did. It takes a certain type of person to deal with the chaos of the flea market. We have found it’s better to do yard sales rather than flea market. More people will buy at yard sales, and it’s less chaos without leaving your house.

Very educational video from the other side. Really enjoyed seeing your cleaning process. More product cleanup with before and after shots would be awesome. Than you.

I sold at the old Alameda California Flea Market once. I too was swarmed by the other vendors very early. One a hole even stole some canoe paddles out of the back of my truck. I also was a vendor at the San Francisco Bike Expo for a few years in a row. Its a once a year event but lasted two days. Everybody cruises the other vendors before the public is allowed in. Those are when the best deals are made because it a bunch of bike people. I even sold a bike out of my truck waiting to get into the even space. It's been my experience that early and late are the best selling times. At my local SF flea market there is a vendor that works the pure volume angle to make his money. During the day things are this much or that much, around 2 or 3 he starts yelling everything is $1 then after a bit everything is free. He does it again the next week, converting junk to currency.

Hagar the horrible is an old comic strip! Awesome find!

[@THEATLFLIPPERS]

Really dope vintage sweater!

[@danielllleX]

Dying, laughing at how old I feel at you guys not knowing who Hagar the horrible is… Such a popular cartoon for GenX😂

[@christinkathleen8187]

Yes! Vendors shop early! They want to see what you have, plus.. they probably stay at their table most of the time when the crowds arrive. ALSO.. I am almost convinced that I have to see y'all one day. I moved away, but when I'm in town, I've got to run into y'all! I also miss selling there sometimes :)

[@deboramorrissey7442]

I liked seeing you as flea market sellers along with going thrifting. It gave a different point of view and made this video more interesting (in my opinion). Keep trying new stuff in your videos. thanks.

[@daphnekuzminsky3850]

I just love that Hayleys personality is coming out soo much! It is so fun to see her excitement!

[@beebo5150]

Hello all, you have become my wife and I favorite pickers, We love your channel, we love how you respect other resellers and how honest you both are with sellers. Have a great day.

[@LoneWolf-lq5wc]

Love watching these videos, absolutely great content!!! Looking forward to the next one.

[@jasongaudet8719]

That Hagar The Horrible is from a comic strip in the Sunday times, early back in the 90s. Sweet find! My favorite was Calvin and Hobbes.

[@aaron71]

@2:36 ...yep, 100% that. The BEST stuff sells an hour before the market opens.

Gat grandma’s secret stain remover at hobby lobby in the fabric center for 2-4 per little bottle. You only need two or three drops to get a good size stain out it removes stains that are 10 years old if not older. I’ve seen it removes so many things you do have to let it sit for a little while before you wash it. Also dishwasher for hats!! Or do the whole 2 hr soak in tub with clothes, shoes, and hats with baking soda, laundry soap and bleach. You can Google the amount of each for colored vs whites.

I just sold at a local flea market this morning for the first time and made half my sales before the sun rose. We have a "cheapo" market that looks like yours with the first-come-first-serve tables, and a more eclectic antique-y market with a wider range of prices. I chose the latter ($25 for a big space), left at 1:00pm, and came home with $430. The real buyers are all in the morning, the rest of the day was browsers. The feeding frenzy before opening is other vendors trying to make bulki deals for their own inventory. I sold a box of toys for $25 and the guy who bought it spread it all out in the space right next to mine. It's a good way to sell somebody else your junk right off the bat. I saw him sell one toy the whole morning.

Haggar the Horrible was a cartoon that could be found in many of the Sunday comics. It was most popular in the 60s, 70s and 80s.. I really enjoy your videos.

[@karenpickford7112]

Awesome is a great pre-soak for stains, actually it's good for anything that needs cleaning. You can get a good sized bottle for $1.00 at the Dollar Tree.

[@MetalDetectingwithCZkidd]

Hagar the Horrible. Funny Cartoon. Hagar lookn' like Josh's older brother. LOL

[@karleegaribay4048]

I enjoy your videos. I’m a huge reseller along with my husband. Make sure you do the bend test on all shoes as lots of thrifted/sourced shoes have dry rot.

[@angelawheeler8327]

Hagar the Horrible funny comic strip in the 70's. Ok, now feeling really old. Always loved the funnies in the sunday papers. Nice video.

[@davidnaudi2601]

It’s great to see your Business development. I really enjoy your videos. It’s good to see a young couple have a go and teach and support others on the way. Cheers

[@stonecoldflipper9503]

Great video. I use to go to a lot of flea markets years ago and they have really changed a lot. I think flea markets were a lot better years ago. This is really strange - Today I was eating at a restaurant in my home town and I have been eating there for years, today while I was waiting for my food, I decided to go into the party room they have for reservations only. I have only been in there maybe two other times in ten years. Today I noticed they have an old original pay phone on the wall in this reservation room and I have recently noticed that they can sell for good money online. Then I came home and watched this video and noticed that when you and Hayley went into that restaurant, there were two pay phones hanging on the wall as you entered the restaurant. I live in North Carolina and you hardly ever see pay phones anymore. Maybe you can purchase those from the restaurant owner and do a video on that and sell them online.

Hagar The Horrible was a comic strip that appeared in the Sunday comics in the newspaper for years! Great find

[@josesandoval1966]

Idea! Make your own random idea boxes to sell on eBay? Would be cool Also maybe sound rechargeable lights to use the next time you sell so we can see. Best of luck guys
