thus my old items ranging from sunglasses, shoes, a bag and some clothes have found themselves new leases of life at the most recent flea and easy @ Zouk.
A flea market can't get any better really, think air-con and music. I've been to two others which required me to douse myself with fluids just to survive from the heat or bring along a stereo set just to hype things up , only to have someone tell me to shut it off because Akon sucks. Laughs.
Well, the music wasn't my choice to begin with. (points fingers @ my brother) .
With that said, I look forward to my next, and perhaps this time I would actually take some time pick out a polaroid camera, and items that I like.
Tips on how to hold a flea market
1) You would need a clothes rack, trust me (People had digging boxes no matter how nice the clothes init are)
2) Bring a novelty Item, such as a hell-boy figurine my brother used. Attracts the attention
3)Bring your pet. Live action they say. Everyone loves a fuzzy thing and im sure your pet would be delighted too.
4)Picnic baskets, old suitcases even boxes will do the trick - only for people who are willing to rummage thru.
5)Bring a mirror if you have one. (What's seen cant be unseen)
6)Never let them try the clothes, from my observation, they wont buy it thereafter. Laughs
and Hey, i was really nice, I let everyone who requested try whatever they wanted.
7)Always offer a higher price and allow people to haggle it down thereafter.
8)Heres the time also to recycle your old plastic carriers.
or be a patriot and offer plastic bags with the singapura logo. *chuckles*
9)offer your friends free clothes - what are friends for anyway
10) Dont forget to stash snacks and drinks. The hours get grueling. Better yet, have yourself proper meals.
that's all folks.
Sometimes I wished I was wendy in peter pan, or alice in wonderland. I'm a huge burton and depp fan, and I reckon the only anti-aging methodology is to have dreams, gun for them, and believe that disneyland is still the happiest place on earth.
