Well today was my first day selling at a flea market. One of my buyers convinced me it would be worth the effort to try to market some of my computers at the flea market. I'm glad I took his advice. He approached me with this idea a few weeks ago and instead of selling him my computers he said he'd take certain ones home to refurb. And those we will sell at the flea market and split the profits. I was down for the idea because based off of his numbers I'd be making more versus just selling them to him. This guy was smart because now he knows he gets first take on all of my stuff versus before I had multiple buyers coming in and he was stuck with the lower end stuff. Not sure if every weekend will work out this way but today we were able to sell 7 whole setups with 17 inch LCD monitors. 5 sold for $120 (2 people bought 2 each) and two for $150. One lap top for $145 and two monitors for $25 each. That gave me almost $600. In the past all of that stuff would have been sold to any one of my buyers for $200. And if I scrapped it, probably less than $100. I owe it all to "my computer geek". All I have to do is supply the computers. He does 95 percent of the rest. Once he cuts me out of the equation, I will double my prices to him.
