Do all flea markets sell new and used items?

Posted on August 16, 2012 | in FAQ | by

One can almost sell anything at the flea market and that is one of the most common reasons why people enter in this business.  Seeing the products at the market, people wonder that whether the flea markets always sell new and used items.

It is not necessary that all the products available at the flea market for sale are new. Sometimes the vendors add such products for sale too that have just been used once and they do not look poor in quality.  Clothing is the example of such products. Mostly, the flea markets include mixture of both new and used items. Sometimes you get to know that they are used by seeing their quality and sometimes one does not get to know about the quality.

What many of us do not know is that the products that are usually available at the flea markets are those that have been canceled by the retailers. In other words, they are usually the surplus products that big stores give away to the vendors in order to sell them at discounted prices. Otherwise the branded products that we sometimes find at the flea markets are not specially bought on order for sale. This is just one of the tricks of the retailers to get rid of the surplus.

The vendors never tell their customers that they are selling used items. They display them nicely so that the customer just takes them as new items. But sometimes we find defect in the product like stain or something due to which one can get the same product at a bargained price. That is a great thing for the customer but not the seller.

Whether you are going to buy something from the flea market or sell, you must be careful to check the quality of the product you are buying or selling.  It must be said that the big flea markets do not always have used items to sell.  Those flea markets that come once or twice in a year usually offer the surplus products not used items.
