			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Finding flea market wholesalers requires a lot of research if you want to make maximum profit. The internet and trade magazines abound with middlemen who sell for the true sources at a profit. Since you have to pass that profit on to your customers, it is better to find the true wholesale sources for your product line. But, amid all the conflicting ads, how do you do it?</p>
<p>Forget the search engines</p>
<p>If you want to waste a lot of time, search for flea market wholesalers on internet search engines. You will not find them easily. The vast majority of real wholesalers do not concern themselves with things like search engine optimization and Adwords campaigns. They are too busy selling wholesaler to resellers. The merchandise vendors you will find this way will, 99% of the time, be resellers themselves.</p>
<p>Forget name brands</p>
<p>Do you know who buys wholesale name brand merchandise? Giant stores with multiple locations who can spend hundreds of thousands of dollars at one time. Most small resale businesses cannot support the type of purchases many of these top flea market wholesalers require.</p>
<p>Besides, you are more likely to sell an inexpensive, much needed product at the flea market, than an overpriced, large-ticket item.</p>
<p>Use local resources</p>
<p>The local yellow pages, or their website, is a great place to start your search for flea market wholesalers. Most locations near a relatively large city or port will have wholesale warehouses. Find out where they are and then find out if they are open to the public for small job lot purchases.</p>
<p>Find respected sources</p>
<p>Some internet research can find respected sources for flea market wholesalers who sell in smaller quantities. Some, like Liquidation and Surplus, sell overstock, returns, and refurbished merchandise at low costs. Others, such as Alibaba and Globalsources, list wholesaler sources from all over the world. Other places, like Doba and Salehoo, find the top product resources for you, reducing much of your own work.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gone are the days when one had to go early in the day or late in the evening to get the wholesale flea market merchandise at reasonable and affordable prices.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Vicinity where sellers assemble to sell their products is called as a flea market. This is also called as swap meet.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you would like to take a stab at the flea market it may take a few tries to find your niche when competing with other vendors. If you break it down most vendors at flea markets are selling a lot of martial arts weapons, knives, statues, dragons etc. Then you have the flip side of tools, purses, toys etc.</p>
<p>Think of it this way. You can do quite well at the flea market by standing out. The way to do so is to find something to sell that isn&#8217;t in the norm for flea markets. While spending some time at the Flea market in Mobile Alabama I noticed one vendor had gaggles of people waiting around his booth. I went closer to get a peek of all the commotion. This guy had his Laptop setup with bluetooth technology to the internet and was making engraved dog tags. What a brilliant idea, and an excellent way to stand out. I met with him toward the end of the day. He noted that he sells out of product every day. He sells out of hardware for dog tag necklaces. But continues to complete sales.</p>
<p>How? Remember he is hooked up to the internet right? He places orders for customers and mails their engraved dog tags, or key-chains right to their door! Low over-head and a strong demand not to mention his booth stands out among the other typical booths.</p>
<p>Another vendor at this flea market was tucked in the back but had a lot of customers there too. This guy was going to Thrift stores and purchasing computers. He would then fix them up and sell a complete system for $150. I asked how many he would do in a month. He completed an average of 30 sales per month selling repaired computers that were out of date compared to the technology rate these days. Hey aren&#8217;t people going to flea markets to find something unique, for a reasonable price?</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a great Idea! Purchase something to display at your booth. This could be anything from motorcycle luggage to household appliances. Let the customers get a good look at your item. If they want one all you have to do is provide them with your very own order form! Provide a receipt and a copy of their order for their purchase and drop-ship the product to their house just like the man selling engraved dog tags! Again low overhead and all you need to do is have a few samples at your booth. It&#8217;s almost like being a door to door salesperson only the difference is customers come to you!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Southern California has some of the best in the world. So whether you are a serious collector, or just looking for a fun souvenir, chances are you&#8217;ll find something cool. You&#8217;ll also experience a slice of local culture and maybe even see a star or two.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re here on the weekend, you&#8217;re in luck, because there&#8217;s a flea market somewhere every Sunday. Some are good for an hour or so, others can take most of the day. Lather up with sunscreen, bring some cash, and get ready to bargain.</p>
<p>Housed in the parking lot of the Pasadena football stadium, the Rose Bowl Flea Market is the most popular one in Los Angeles. It takes place on the second Sunday of the month. On nice days, more than 20,000 people might show up. There are usually about 2,500 vendors selling everything from old record albums to vintage clothes to fine antiques. There are a couple of food stands, so you can grab a bite and keep shopping.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re an avid collector, come early. Your admission fee will vary based on when you arrive. Gates open at 5AM, but a lot of stands don&#8217;t set up that early. Admission starts at $20 and goes down until the box office closes at 3 o&#8217;clock.</p>
<p>Many of the Rose Bowl vendors specialize in one type of antique or collectible. And you can find almost anything here. In addition to the expected, you&#8217;ll find old typewriters, musical instruments, paintings, rugs, jewelry, old handbags, and more.</p>
<p>You can &#8212; and should &#8212; do a little bargaining here, but don&#8217;t come looking for steals.</p>
<p>The Long Beach Outdoor Antique Market, which takes place on the third Sunday of each month, is held in Veterans Stadium. It&#8217;s been going strong since starting in 1982 and has more than 800 dealers. It&#8217;s good for old furniture, vintage clothes, rugs, lamps, and other items for the home. As one of the biggest markets on the west coast, it&#8217;s worth the drive.</p>
<p>Trend-setters and fashionistas will enjoy the Melrose Trading Post in the parking lot of Fairfax High School. It takes place every Sunday. About 3,000 people show up to look for vintage clothing, alternative music, 1970s stuff, and kitschy items. Live music and a few food trucks round out the scene. Young celebrities and set designers often visit.</p>
<p>The Santa Monica Airport hosts the Santa Monica Outdoor Antique &amp; Collectible Market on the first and fourth Sundays. The market at the end of the month is more popular, with around 175 vendors. Doors open at 6AM. The goods here are of better quality than at the other markets, and you&#8217;ll find real antiques, nice carpets, painting, textiles, and decorative objects.</p>
<p>The only market with no admission fee, Pasadena City College Flea Market takes place on the first Sunday of the month. It&#8217;s the favorite of bargain hunters and others just looking for a low-key afternoon. There are usually around 500 vendors selling everything from costume jewelry to old bicycles.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This article will outline some general suggestions for improving your flea market business profitability. Each flea market has its own character and shoppers, so your tactics may need to change slightly for each market you attend to allow for that. So take these more general strategies and apply them, testing out slightly different methods of application until you find the approach that is most profitable for you.</p>
<p>Firstly, always make sure you have plenty of products available at your stall. This gives you more chance to catch a passerby&#8217;s eye, but also reassures them that they&#8217;ll have plenty of choice if they shop at your stall. At the end of the day, however, it may actually be a good idea to clear some items from your stall, to make it look like you&#8217;re selling out. People will think your stuff was so good that it&#8217;s selling out, and so be tempted to have a look so they don&#8217;t miss out on something amazing.</p>
<p>Remember, too, that shoppers at flea markets are looking for things that they can&#8217;t necessarily find at stores. So it&#8217;s important to provide a wide variety of options. If you&#8217;re selling soap, don&#8217;t just selling one type. Have a range of fragrances, colors and even shapes. Having a wider variety of items also means you have more chances of having something that will catch a shopper&#8217;s eye and make them come over for a closer look.</p>
<p>Another good idea is to have a flyer printed for your business. Include what types of items you sell, contact details and also the location of your flea market stall. Have a pile of flyers at your stall, and also include one in the bag with every purchase. Giving people information about yourself makes it easier for them to contact you again if they want to buy more products, and also makes it easy for them to refer their friends to you.</p>
<p>Flea markets can be a great way to make money, and it can also be a lot of fun. If you want to make the best return for your effort, it&#8217;s important to present your stall and yourself professionally. Give it a try, and you might be surprised to find how much more successful you can be.</p>
