    Swapmeet, great resource to get rid of things & earn some money

    Hello,

    I recently started going to the swapmeet to sell items that are under $40 that just arent worth selling on Craiglist and it has been a great resource. I used to donate most of it to the thrift store or the items would get damaged after sitting around and I would have to throw them away. Now I just save stuff up for about a 2-4 weeks or just until I have a trailer load and head to the swapmeet. We get to the swapmeet at 5am to wait in line then, they let the vendors in at 6am to set up. Its an all day thing last from 6-3pm, they dont let you leave until about 2pm. It cost $30 to have a spot on a saturday and $40 to have a spot on sunday. Sunday is way more busy with about 5 times as many people as saturday so, it is better to go on sunday. We are able to sell just about everything you can think of. Sometime you dont get as much for the item as its worth but, since we go with so much stuff it is totally worth it to go and sell many items in one day. We keep on making more each time we go and see a lot of the same customers every time. I highly recommend selling at the swapmeet.
