We have a few flea markets in our area. I love to shop at them you can find some really good deals at the flea markets. I have also sold some items at the flea market. You can set up a table for the day and pay a small fee. By the end of the day I am sure you would of made a few extra dollars. I have sold unwanted items and made out pretty good. Have you ever sold at a flea market? Do you have a flea market in your area?

We do have a flea market down town, but I have never done that, but this year i am very interested in doing so, we have a smaller house than our apartment and to much stuff that I keep trying to make room or find where to put some stuff, I may do that this year since I really need to get rid of some of this stuff...LOL thanks for the idea!!

we have been going through alot of our stuff, we really need to down size what we have in the house since it is so much smaller, but we wanted a back yard and a garage, so when it gets warmer we will go through the garage too before we do our sale.. thats a great idea!!! thanks for the best response!!

We make a whole day out of it. We pack lunches bring drinks and plan to stay the day. We do it around spring cleaning time. The weathers nice and we have alot of stuff to get off our hands.

I do craft sales....and do very well. I have never tried a flea market but do love to attend them. We don't have them around here much..mostly have to travel a bit to find one.

Craft fairs are good to if your crafty. I crochet but I dont have that many items right now to do a craft fair. Sorry to hear your not closer to a flea market. They are a lot of fun.
