Car Boot / Flea Market

December 23, 2006

A nice little income generator is car boot / yard sale / flea market trading. You can begin this by sorting out all the items in the house that you no longer want. Think what prices you would like for each then pack them ready for sale day.

When you arrive at the sale site, park the car. Then lay a rug on the ground or assemble a collapsible table. Arrange your goods. You may want to leave items such as books in the boxes. Keep small items in the centre of the display where it is easy to keep an eye on them.

Have the money in pockets or money belt. That is, keep it on your person. Expect buyers to haggle. Have in mind a rock bottom price for each item.

Sales like this can be as regular as you want. It is just a matter of seeking out locations and times. When you have sold everything from home you will find that there are places where you can obtain goods. Perhaps you would like to specialise.

It is possible to generate a good regular income or a casual now and then injection of cash from this business.
