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.

[@melaniefisher8823]

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?

[@slabdab4202]

Exactly. Low price people think red flag. Rather then saying a price I’d say what will u give me for it

[@rogersmith434]

Yard sale people don’t buy spend $50 that I know…

[@toots428]

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!

[@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"

Being on the other side of the table now gives you an idea of what the vendors have to deal with all the time. Nothing like gaining experience.

[@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.

[@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!!

[@angelo8424]

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.

[@EfficientRVer]

Glad to see you tried being a flea market seller, sorry that neither of you enjoyed it. I think you did it to yourselves, though, by treating it as a way to get in and out of there in a hurry. You could have instead viewed it as a fun adventure of a different type than you've had before, a learning experience, and an opportunity to engage with buyers and other sellers in a way that's new to you. Complaining about there not being a clear path to drive out, when the flea market is getting full of shoppers, is ridiculous. Where I'm from, it's considered very bad form to attempt a morning escape, even if completely sold out. Many places prohibit it, to avoid making shoppers feel unsafe. Their insurance policy probably requires no motor vehicle movement along shopping aisles. Your attitude will flip 180 degrees if you're ever maneuvering a baby stroller and a U-Haul starts backing up toward your kid. If some vendors start packing up if it thins out at 2pm and doesn't stay until the bitter end at 4pm, fine. But driving through arriving crowds, again, is bad form at best. I might not have gotten out of your way, either. Pedestrians have right of way. If you want to leave when it's busy, then load up your tables before shopprs arrive, and park somewhere else with an easy getaway not through crowds. If there's too much to carry back to the car in a few wagon trips when you leave, you're leaving too early. Next time (if there is one) plan to make a day of it. Treat it more as a day of social activity than making money via quick hit and run. Don't do it on a day when you're itching to go to Goodwill by 10am. Good stuff also happens around closing time, on both the buying and selling ends. As to the prohibition of food and drink vendors, that is to protect the ones who have paid dearly for an agreed level of exclusivity. It would be interesting to know what the food truck pays to be a vendor there, but I can guarantee it's WAY MORE than $34. If they allowed 20 food trucks and stands, they'd cannibalize each other's business, would take up too much space, and there'd be ongoing drama between them. Often the flea market owner, either owns the food business, or gets a share of the sales/profit, or charges very high rent to a very limited number of food vendors, so they need to protect from people selling food and drinks at non-food tables. There's also liability if the flea market allows people without food licenses to sell food. When 50 people get food poisoning and the local hospital figures out why, do you think table #379 gets sued, or the flea market gets sued? Why they won't let you even sell cans of Coke, it's all about protecting the high-rent food vendor. They undoubtedly finish the day with grocery bags full of cash. I know, because my parents leased the only food concession space for several summers at a lake when I was growing up. You might only sell there 1 time or quarterly, so you might not feel a need to make every shopper's experience great. But the flea market needs to make sure that every vendor, even the occasional one, doesn't give THEIR customers a bad experience, which can have ongoing effects on the flea market itself, and every current/future vendor. You didn't do a great job at that big-picture goal of making everyone's experience there as good as possible, to make them want to come back often. You never know who is going to show up, when, either. You paid for the space, maybe wait and see if something good happens later in the day, even beyond just selling what's left on the table.

[@BaKaQaZ]

I bought and listed 2 Christian Dior ties yesterday. They sold in just a few hours. They didn't go for a whole lot but it was a fast, easy flip! They are easy to list, don't take a lot of room for storage, and easy to ship! I think they sell better if you lot them!

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.

[@airsoftassault899]

I've always found using a handheld steamer is great for getting stains out of fabric items and they are usually very cheap to buy aswell.

[@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.

Haggar the Horrible was a newspaper cartoon if i remember from when i was a kid lol. I think you probably woulda had better luck doing a garage sale than the flea market route. Idk about your area but there's 0 garage sales where i live right now and a local church decided to have one this weekend and it was jam packed with people because it was literally the only garage sale in the city pretty sure they sold half their stuff within the first 30mins i was there lol.

[@evanswinford7165]

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.

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.

[@lasandra3383]

Omg a Hagar shirt! (Sunday comic strips) I would totally buy that ❤❤

[@dechinta]

My very first flea market in 1978, I had things soooo cheap, but the main thing I remember was an ashtray that I had 1¢ on. ONE PENNY! And a woman asked me how much the ashtray was and I told her "One penny" and she gave me a look and slammed it down on the table like I was trying to gyp her out of all her money. ONE PENNY!!!!!! I think it depends on the location. Around here, you could never get the prices you pay for items in SC. A brand new pair of Jordans would be expected to cost less than $5. It's ridiculous. I used to sell things for so cheap just to make the gasoline to get to the markets and back. I sold in Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama and it would cost $10 in gasoline to get there and back sometimes and there were days I wouldn't even make that much. I am so grateful there is Ebay to sell on now. Because flea markets are almost impossible to earn a living with around here. And don't even get me started on yard sales. There used to be one particular lady who came to every yard sale I had and I would have, say, a handmade embroidered dresser scarf that I would probably charge $30-$50 for now and at the yard sales, that particular lady would ask how much the hand embroidered dresser scarf was and I would say, $3 and she would shirk as if I had slapped her and then she would put on the saddest face you could possibly imagine. It didn't matter if you said something was 25 cents, she would act like I'd slapped her and put on her sad face. I'm sorry, but I didn't get up at 2am and put things out in my yard to just give things away. And I certainly didn't drive an hour in the dark and arrive at a flea market at 4:30am in 40º weather to stand out there all day to lose money. Again, grateful for Ebay!

People may be asking about the price just out of curiosity not so much that they want to buy it

[@HairyTornado]

Good way to waste everyone's time lol

[@EfficientRVer]

@@HairyTornado Many people shop for entertainment, just to get out of the house, to see what's available, to see if you might be a buyer for things they are looking to sell, or 100 other reasons. One example. Maybe the guy asking about the remote has a box of 200 remotes he found on the curb, and he was actually looking for someone to sell them to, rather than to buy your one. If you'd said $3 or $5 or $8, maybe he'd have offered to sell you all of his for $1 each, and you could have gotten them all for $0.50 each. Then he figured that if you're selling for $0.50, you're not the guy to sell to. Realistically, anyone needing any specific remote because theirs died, is going to snap it up for $5, or offer you $3. A remote isn't worth $0.01 to anyone who doesn't have the device it goes with, unless they're a reseller. He wasn't a reseller or he'd have offered you $0.25 and taken it! He doesn't need it, or he'd have paid the $0.50 and jumped for joy. Maybe he entertains himself by not buying things that sellers lowball him on, and wasting their time. But I'm thinking there was a reason he asked, and that you failed to find out the reason, by treating it as being a price negotiation rather than an opportunity to engage.

In my flea market, there are early bird collectors that are looking for that $1000 knife or $2000 saddle etc....so also think about taking some really good stuff that you keep under lock and key or on your tailgate....YOU NEED to find the collectors that are visiting your flea market and take stuff specifically for them...they pay top price to get what they want....Not every one at the flea market is looking for your left overs.......

Quite odd hailey got a hamburger w.o cheese I'm unsubscribing. Totally unamerican

[@iamfaithfullyhis]

Hats, Resolve spray!!! Grease spots on anything! Works very well fyi!🥰👍🏻

[@anthonycamberos789]

Yes definitely other vendors buy things to resell cheap from other vendors. Most of the sells my family makes are the first hr and last hr of the flee market to vendors

[@SueN1965]

Suggestion, maybe record some clearance videos where you include your lowest price you're willing to accept and let your viewers on youtube buy them. I think you may have quite a few resellers as viewers. First to comment on the item, gets it. Or something like that. Not sure how you'd keep away the trolls though. Just a thought

Our subdivision holds a giant yard sale a few times a year. All these people come out to buy crap. When we have stuff we just donate it and take a tax write off. People that make a lot of money do not have time to do such things. People that often have lots of time on their hands have limited money. Those with lots of money have limited time so guard it well. That time won't be spent on people trying to give you a buck for something. Instead as an example someone might take the 50 dollar tax write off and donate.

[@mrgarywong]

You guys seemed so bored selling there. lol. Hayley was so much happier when you guys went to Goodwill. Even Mose was like "that's all the cash you brought back home??? Where my plush at??"

[@HairyTornado]

Yeah we would much rather buy lol

[@thekoalatythrifter2760]

People hitting the 7am flea market early with headlamps on is commitment Lol! I know you said you were selling to other vendors but I'm hoping there was some resellers too! Also, it's awesome to see how pumped the other vendors were when Hayley told them you two had a table 👍

[@JamesWilson-ci8jc]

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

[@nicholastaylor9239]

Not sure if anyone has commented on this or not but Hagar the horrible is from the Sunday comics! Great comic if you ever come across it!

[@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.

[@kayleigh6990]

I don't know if you have it in the US but sticky stuff remover is amazing on non fabric items like gaming items etc. There is even items you think look clean you wouldn't believe how much dirt comes off them. You only use very little it's great to take sale stickers off as well. It does smell like petrol though lol.

[@martinc591]

First off I'm disappointed that you didn't know Hagar the horrible ( or maybe I'm just old). Second if you had stayed till the end of the day I would bet money that dealers would have come back and bought more stuff off of you. When they sell, the part time dealers are the easiest way to replenish stock. Also always price so that you can cut some and still get what you need. You will make more sales if you have haggle room! I used to price at about double of what I needed that way I could make someone think they got a great deal but still make my money.

[@ikeoikeo]

He's changed. Only Hayley is grounded Love her so much

[@trishallain6503]

Martin Carroll they might be too young to know who Hagar the Horrible is.

[@martinc591]

I'm sure, doubt either one of them have ever read the Sunday funnies

[@lauriekoenig9187]

I sold this weekend myself and made 800$ all profit except the table was $18.I got the items for free dumpster diving

[@marbelfigueroa9934]

HAGAR IS A COMIC

[@nicolepowell5470]

I prefer watching you buy than selling. Hello to Mose Tornado from the UK

[@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

[@johndias6614]

The way to make a small fortune at the flea market... start with a large fortune. I sell at a local Tuesday flea market. It's been in business since 1940s. There are regular reserved spots... arrive at 4am. $40 for a huge spot 12'x40' bring your own tables. Deals are made in the early hours then the second wave is around 11:00... I'm usually done by 1:00. It's TOTALLY different than online selling. Ebay etc people are generally looking for something specific... flea market shoppers mostly look for deals and something that "speaks to them". Flea market shoppers want something for nothing.

[@marony7375]

On our local flea market it is the same. Things are getting sold before they even hit the table basically right out of the car. :-D

[@131chuck]

I have done the flea market near me several times. I agree, everyone wants things "given" to them. Not much profit!!

[@charlesnye1736]

I know the feeling I sell at Dickson City fleafair. Same thing

[@poppyfoxart]

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.

[@dnangelphil]

As far as comparing your time spent vs. Returns... Which do you think is better... The flea market or a yard sale? One consideration is the number of other yard sales in the area and the regular customers at the flea market. But like you said , on a normal flea market day you would be set up, stuff sold, and then gone by noon or maybe 1 pm. And in our area there is a $25 fee for yard sales.. I was actually impressed your flea market tables were so inexpensive.

[@HairyTornado]

Garage sales are cheaper than the flea market but it takes all morning to go to maybe 5 to 10 sales. At the flea market, we can see 50 different booths in an hour. The chances of you finding a huge jackpot are much larger at a garage sale than at the flea market but it will also take a lot more hunting. Pros and cons to both obviously

[@marktocholke3954]

Spring is the best time for Fleamarkets Josh. Give it another try...definitely worth your time. I get rid of a lot of inventory especially the hard to ship items. Plus, you can pick too! Great 🎥

[@I_am_me8560]

I think every reseller should spend a day at least once in their lives selling at the flea market! Everything you said about people being so incredibly cheap and not wanting to buy items you had for next to nothing, hopefully gave you a better appreciation for the vendors at the F.M. now that you know what they deal with just trying to make a living! Everyone likes to haggle, but no one likes to have to give away their inventory for next to nothing!

[@rebeccachiguina8427]

Where I set-up at the flea market they charge $10 per table and I bring my own table to add more item's. I usually do well. I resell all items I don't use and item's for profit

[@hollyann127]

I totally love watching you two….you both are so calm and super HAPPY! Also, you explain everything so well with great detail!
