He was selling it for 80 i told him that i had 50$ on me and i needed 5 for flowers for my mom. He said sorry bud i cant, so i said ok ill give you 50 he said deal. Lol i always have 300+ going to a flea market

    /\ Totally hear what you're saying its the whole reason I frequent flea markets every single weekend. Plus I also get my shaving razors real cheap (the good mach 5 blades).

    Last week I found 30 unexpired bottles of nicorette lozenges for $1 each in a small little cardboard box. I was thinking "who the hell sells these things for $1? they go for like $30 online?"

    I can't even tell you how fast all 30 sold on ebay, I made $570 profit just from 1 single purchase at a flea market. I also frequent thrift stores a lot too as sometimes you will find incredibly priced items there too.

    Good going!

    Great examples of money making,
    when you say flea market; do you mean garage sales?

      Flea markets, are like swap meets.

      Basically a huge yard sale, people rent out lots for the day, and bring whatever they want to sell. its mostly cash no tax and you can haggle.

        I love flea markets. There's so much great stuff there. If you know what you're looking for then you can find some amazing deals.

        They're one of my favorite all time things, so much so that my wife has set a limit on how many we can go to in a month! It's so easy to end up buying waaaay too much stuff.

        There have been times when I've paid $4 for something that was worth hundreds. I love it when that happens.

        I've been seriously considering renting a table at a flea market to sell off some of my stock of stuff. Anyone ever have any luck doing that?
