I only went to to a flea market once as a seller. It was after I went to a storage auction and bought a unit for $10. I did about $350 in sales that day. I had a good time. I like to think I can sell.
Considering how I got the items, and that I didn't have anywhere to put any of it, I was continuously slashing prices the whole day. What started at $30 and wouldn't sell easily found a new home at $10. I was in a position where everything I sold (after $35) was pure profit so i let stuff go at prices that put a smile on everyone's face. Theirs because they got the item for a song and mine cause it was one less thing I would be taking to the dump on Monday.
I somewhat frequent a "junk" auction once a week and snag up stuff I need (or pretend to need). I often think about how well some of the stuff I could have for $1 would do at the market. Then I remember I have a full time job working 12 days on 2 days off and put my bid card back in my pocket.
If you have a house full of "junk" and want to sell it, the flea market is a great place to start. I prefer going there as opposed to garage/yard sales because if a certain stand doesn't have what I want then I can go to the next seller without having to burn gas in my truck or valuable time on Saturday morning.
I say go for it. The worst that can happen is youre out ~$25 (for a vendor spot) and know what you can expect next time.
Best of luck!
