Suitcase Rummage

Expectation: To get rid of all my clothes and make some profit
Reality: Come back with even more clothes to begin with and still a luggage full of clothes

Expectation: Come early and get a good spot
Reality: Come early and get a corner dead end spot

Expectation: Expect the "expected" prices to be sold and reduce it at the end of the day
Reality: Reduced everything to basically $2 by midday

To begin with, we arrived an hour early to get a good spot, but we ended up in a shaded corner.
I made my first sale of $12. Astounded. Pretty much everything went downhill from there. We were not getting much traffic. Was it the weather? I remember when it was crowded. Did we get a bad spot? .. maybe..But hey, we met some pretty cool people and had nice neighbours.

Expert tips:

  1. Don't come early
  2. Come a bit late
  3. Do anything to make a sale
  4. Talk to the people
  5. Give people discounts 
  6. Yell out loud. 

Buying tips:

  1. Come at the end of the day~ around 4.30pm-5pm. Where the sales are. And the clothes are $1 or if you're lucky- FREE.
  2. Barter!
  3. DIG AROUND
Photos coming soon.
