My head is so full of idea’s for making my Flee Market experience easier… I have a bad back and the boxes of books that I take are heavy after a while and strain my back.. We did come up with loading van put three boxes on top of each other and use a hoe to push them back and make three rows of three which is good except the carpet gets in the way sometimes..(can’t remove as we need it there when we have the seats down in place) I have several boxes that are odd shapes I am going to work on getting them all the same sizes…Also I am going to work on getting the authors together. Have been doing that a little each week…
Books I need to find are christian books and westerns… both are hard to find. I have people all the time asking me for them.. I have some christian but need something different for the same customers I always have…
The next thing I am looking into is making another idea to put more boxes in the same spaces … I think I have come up with an idea take and put one box on table and another slanted upright behind it.. I want to try one first before I go through this whole process. I am not sure the table are wide enough to support that style… Then if this works I will hire one of the kids out there to help me set up and take down. And pray I make some money at it… I have not done so bad so far…
I charge $1.00 a book or $.50 and a trade in…. I need to make a better sign for this also…. I am using poster board and its getting beat up with the weather…. (early morning damp)….
Also if I can do ok at this my husband says I can get a car or truck for myself… I can leave my boxes in this and not have to take them in and out of the garage that takes away two strains on my back.. I would love to get one of those mail trucks…Its not to far back like my van and it is heavy enough to hold the weight. Could use it to go yard sailing (I know wrong word but you get the idea) in also… Keep your eyes open for me….
If you are reading this and go to the flee market in Lake City,Florida and you have an author you want to see or a certain book.(not new) let me know… Please leave me suggestions and comments …. would love to hear your take on what I have written.
