Flea market vendors have seen an increase in sales as more and more customers shop at flea markets.

In the past, flea markets were considered places to buy used goods or places to simply spend a day off.

But now flea markets are seen by many shoppers as sources for their consumer products, with substantial savings over their regular prices.

You can capitalize on this consumer trend by establishing yourself as a flea market vendor.

To become a flea market seller, you will first need to have a reseller tax identification number. You should talk to a lawyer or accountant to see what you need to get started.

Most flea markets will guide you through this process, as they are interested in having you start renting a booth at their flea market.

Once you have the proper licenses, you’ll want to decide what type of merchandise to sell.

Flea markets can also help in this regard. You can ask the flea market management what products they think will sell well.

They should tell you which products are not selling or which products can be sold more.

You can also focus on the basics that all flea market shoppers need, such as t-shirts, socks, underwear, towels, toothpaste, soap, etc.

As long as your prices are cheap compared to local stores and other flea market vendors, you should be able to sell those items.

Most flea market vendors stumble when trying to sell novelty items or unique esoteric products.

Stick to the basics and your flea market business should thrive.

You should get a list of wholesalers that sell the items you want to sell. Narrow down the list to wholesalers that cater specifically to flea market sellers.

These wholesalers will have experience in what products will sell well at the flea market.

You can use search engines like http://www.wholesalecentral.com and [http://www.wholesalequest.com] compile a list of wholesalers.

Stay away from membership sites as most wholesalers openly list online.

Your next step is to jump. Over-scanning will only discourage you from selling at the flea market. Instead of concentrating on how much you can earn, you should focus on selling and building your flea market business.

Be sure to start your first day at the flea market with a full assortment of merchandise. This will make a great impression on customers and help you sell a good number of products.
