I cannot rave about this company enough! Remember a while back when I was telling you to back up your computer? Well, luckly I followed my own advice and signed up, the other day I was in the process of downloading something and ended up getting a bad virus! Somehow it ate some documents I have been working on, and I am sure I could have figured out how to repair them if I had to, but I was able to just delete it all, anything that could possibly have an infection, and then grab it from the idrive online backupplace I set up. I didn’t loose anything, and instead of freaking out and calling my hubby in a panic (like I usually do when the computer messes up!) I was able to just take a breath- I had everything I needed, program backups, a reinstall disk for vista, etc. Whew! I would have been crying had I not figured that one out! LOL

A few weeks ago my husband and I took a truck load of furniture and misc things up to the flea market, needing to get rid of some things. We didn’t do so great, mainly because I was hot and frustrated with the turnout so we left early, marking everything way down and even giving some things away. LOL But, being there I saw some great ideas, those sellers that specialized in one area, such as home furniture, and had alot of that areas products, were doing very well, constant sales. One of them even bought our tables for 20.00, and was going to resell them for more from his booth. We didn’t do well because we were like the worlds tiniest garage sale LOL, no theme, just a bunch of random things. All of my scrapbook magazines were what made the most money.

But, I saw a theme, other sellers would go to us and other smaller booths and offer to buy things for very cheap, because we were not selling much, we jumped on the chance, now that guy can go back and sell those tables for well over 100.00, they were very nice, in good shape etc.

I would think that if you had enough money to spend upfront, collectiong a massive amount of one area of sales, such as from flea markets or even ebay bulk sales, then went to the flea market, you could do very well. There was one guy that had nothing but used VHS tapes…. he did great, he is there every weekend, that is his job. Now if he had only 50 tapes, blankets, crafts, and other misc, he probably wouldn’t do well.

So what do you think would be a good item to stock up on and take to a local flea market? Do you think if you could make a decent living by sitting at the flea market 2 days a week you would like that? Something to think about.
