Finding Flea Markets in your area
By Jared Mason
Over the last several years the flea market and swap meets have
become as American as apple pie. According to a recent issue of
Swap Meet magazine, over 600 such functions are being held on a
regular basis. Most of these are weekend affairs, but more and
more are operating every day of the week.
The biggest flea market of them all is the monthly affair held
on the grounds of the Pasadena Rose Bowl. Over 40,000 people
attend this function, with over 2000 "dealers" selling their
wares. Another giant of the circuit is the one held each week
in San Jose - the famous San Jose Flea Market. It isn't unusual
for 25,000-30,000 people to visit this great function each and
every day, rain or shine. It is so popular and profitable for
the "dealers" that nearly 50% of the spaces are rented on a
permanent basis. At times there is a one or two year waiting
list to get a permanent space.
Practically any item imaginable can be - and is - sold at these
affairs. Your author has visited several, and talked to
hundreds of dealers. The overall average NET INCOME seems to be
around $175 per day. Some of the so-called "smart" people are
earning as much as $600 per day. Most of the people sell two
days per week, while some travel and sell four and five days a
week.
