Your video made me feel almost normal😂Although all I sell is on eBay, I have so much appreciation for you and all your sorting methods. I laughed when you mentioned all the empty reusable boxes! I try to reuse all my packing and boxes I receive and it gets to be overwhelming 🤪I am trying to reclaim our small home . You have inspired me❤️I never would have had the energy to accomplish a fraction of what you do when my children were young and at home. You are amazing!!!! Love the videos! Take care!
I feel you so much! It is so hard to run a business without a warehouse or dedicated space. So smart to have a $5 table!!!
Looks like an organized mess! Great inventory for the antique and vintage market. You will do fine. Thanks for sharing your journey! Can’t wait for part 2!
Jamie- Thank you for the real world look at being a reseller, mom, wife and many other things simultaneously. I enjoyed this and hope your flea market was successful - you have such great merchandise.
I have a hoard to eventually sell also so this was a very interesting and informative video. I love the fact that you actually did a mock flea market set-up in your living room to make sure it would work. That is a great idea because there is nothing worse than getting to the flea market only to just then figure out where to put things and it also prevents you from showing up with not enough things or too many things for your space. I hope you had a successful first time selling at the flea market and I can't wait for part 2!
Ah!! The clippy koala bears! Mandatory backpack and purse (sometimes hair) accessory during middle school! 😊
I feel for you! It is overwhelming isn't it. Start with a spreadsheet for your inventory. List by category, purpose and were it destined to. Get a collection of different clear boxes with lids. Label them by category, price and destination. Fold down cardboard boxes by size an place them in a clear bins that are labeled by size. If you stand them upright you will be able to store a lot. Where you kept your shipping boxes; have a small clear box for labels, scissors, box cutter, roll of clear tape on a dispenser for tapeing boxes shut. For your tissue paper, flat wrapping paper and ribbons; get several multi-drawer clear plastic rolling organizer. For roll paper use a bin that you can stand your rolls upright. Organize them by category too. For the cards and envelopes, organize them in a plastic shoe box with a category label. This is how I do it to minimize my frustration in finding things I need in a moments notice.
Looking forward to hearing about your first time selling I hope you had a fantastic day. I did my first flea market Saturday It rained, but did pretty well. It was lots of fun. 🐈⬛🎉🙂
I set up at flea markets about 20 years ago. The best thing was I had an 8ft covered truck bed that I could leave the tables and stuff in (especially when I came home and was exhausted). It is really hard to keep house in order. It seems it was always a work in progress. You will do fine and are very organized. 👍
Remember when you showed the spoon holder use for scarfs and napkins. It will keep it organized
Welcome to the craziness of flea market selling. Once you do it you will want to do it again. I go through the same to get ready. My van looks the same. I can't wait for part 2.
Your swung vases look great though!😊
Great job filming the process!
I’m on time for once!😊
Anxious to hear how it turned out for you guys!
Great Vedic wow Jamie can’t wait for your flee market vedio. And for this to be over ,so I can breathe lol
I am breathing easier now that it’s over!
Love this video cant wait to watch the next one! ❤
Wow! What a feat! I hope you sold a lot!
have a great sale!
Thanks! It was last weekend, my videos are just always late 🤪 it went great though!
This was very helpful to really see what is needed to sell at anyplace that rents out tables at fairs or pop up markets. Have not done it yet but am considering it. I too am getting sick of looking at the old stuff that has not sold in 2 years & want it gone I do keep adding fresh items but how long should you really keep items up for sale?? that varies person to person & how much space you have to store items.
I agree, and it’s easier for me to let go of items that aren’t worth as much…especially if they’re taking up space for too long!
You look really organised. The folding shelves look handy. Do you mind if I ask where they are from. Thanks
They are from Amazon, and they come in different sizes, too!
