I was looking for an out of the box idea about something to sell each week at a flea market. (I wish their was a way to raffle items off). Can I sell a cd of an ebook if the rights to resell came with it? What would interest many people in the current economic condition we are in? Thank you all for your answers.
Fleas?
Flea markets used to be another term for white elephant sales. Getting rid of things in your closet, garage or basement.
People found out they could sell this stuff even faster and at a bit of a higher price if a bunch of them got together, because more people would come to these events because there was more to look at in one place. Then this graduated to people actually incorporating into small businesses and not have to pay for a building, lights etc.
It’s a good way to make some money on the cheap. Go to a flea market, see what seems to be selling. Gotta warn you, though, it changes as peoples needs and wants change. So stay flexible with what you are looking to sell.
If the ebook is in public domain, sure you could sell it, but make sure it is public domain. Gotta be real careful about stuff on the internet, e-books included.
I have a friend who is into arts and crafts, sometimes she does absolutely fantastic and other times she wonders why she showed up at all. So in this economy right now, I’d go for the things that people need, sort of.
Good luck.
What you need to do is to take a walk through several flea markets and
look to see what is selling and in what volume for yourself. If you see a table with a crowd look and see why. Then ask yourself if you could duplicate that. In essence, it’s just like any other business. You need to survey the marketplace.
