Did you ever sell on a flea market?

A few years ago in our driveway, and then again. 2 broiling hot summers ago, again in the drive and the 2nd, what didn't sell, on a church parking lot that had to be 200 degrees! I didn't have "junk", I thought, but decent used stuff. I did lousy each time. So I swore I would never ever take days to box, load, unbox, set up and attempt it again. All goes to charity now. I'm so thrilled you did well, Barbara!

I usually only go to one Flea market & don't sell stuff, but I love to
shop there.http://www.nps.gov/nr/travel/indiana...druffplace.htm

The neighborhood only has one market a year, but it lasts 3 days. The
area has plenty of shade from the summer sun.

Actually we don't have yard/garage sales over here. I would love to do it because you wouldn't have to load and pack boxes and if you saw something in your cellar during the day you just grab it and sell it

Of course we could rent storage - but I cannot see paying money to store stuff that I don't need at ALL! I am not the world's most cluttered person (you can see that in my office which is fairly clean) but Siegmar surely is. I am glad he saw how long it takes to make money out of the stuff- so he is now much more ready to donate

I don't think we have the exact equivalent of the yard sales you describe, but once or twice a year in every village or town there is a dedicated day on which people can go on the street (it can be in front of their house if they live in the right street) and sell their stuff. It's probably more like the flea market described by Barbara.

I try to have yard sales, but never quite get everything together properly. In the past, I have made out FABULOUSLY ($300!!!) and failed MISERABLY ($25!!!) with basically the same type of junk.

Lately, I just want the stuff gone, so I place it on freecycle
