My neighborhood is doing a Flea Market in the parking lot of a local church. I was thinking about selling books (mostly adult but some child/tween ones) and maybe a few other things I can find I don't need (large bag of Beanie Babies any one?).
I can not remember the last time I was at a flea market so I was wondering how to price things so I can figure out if it will be worth the $20-25 Table fee.
Off hand I know there are a few things I could sell besides the books and beanies:
Comforters/bed spreads from DD when she was younger (full size bed)
Wedding gifts that are still under the stairs (18 years later)
Tea Maker (think Coffee maker but for tea)
Smoothie maker
Blender
Candles in glass jars
Board games
Children's toys
Easy Bake oven - I only have the oven, the pan pusher/puller and a spare light bulb, would that be worth it? Should I see if I can download the booklet/info? I know you can get more mixes and what not, can you buy pans for it? It's about 10 years old if that makes a difference.


Any thought/ideas to make things sell better would be great as well. :)

(ETA: we are in the suburbs of Philadelphia)
 
Guess I should have spell checked the title too...if it's possible can a Moderator fix it so it reads 'Pricing' instead of 'Pricinng'? :headache:
Thanks
 
Around our neighborhood book prices vary. Hard cover from $0.50 -$2.00, soft cover $0.25 - $1.00 Children's $0.10 -$0.50. I don't look unless its on the lower end of that. Plus, if I like the selection, I'll always ask for a volume discount ;) ((I stock a hospital waiting room with books from garage sales and freebie magazine subscriptions))
 
Thanks.
I was thinking about deal pricing on the books. This many books for this much or $X per book or $Y for the entire series type thing.
 

The flea market we go to most weekends has a book lady...she sells paperback books (she sorts them on the table in piles by author, so it's easy to find what you are looking for). She sells paperback books $2.00 each of 3 for $5.00
