Bri has some very good points. I rarely sell a hat at any kind of flea market setting. I have sold them out of the van in parking lots and along the highway in the artsy Mendocino California area. I rarely sell my stuff at most craft shows either. I do excellently at a local organic farmers market that caters to residents of a local university town with a neighboring huge medical center. These folks think nothing of spending $40 or $50 bucks for a hat. not too many of those on the road, at least that I've been able to hook up with. <br /><br />Etsy is great! I haven't had my shop running for quite a while cause I had so many back orders. I hope to reopen it in a few months, definitely before I am on the road again, and have a bit of inventory. I still owe hats to Dick and David. Gotta do them first!<br /><br />I think making it at a flea market has a lot to do with the price point and the location, as well as the item. When I was in Utah, I went to a flea market at one of the ski resorts in Park City, and sold some pricey hats even though it was off-season. But, again, the clientele was rich. I remember Mike and Heidi finding a neat street fair type market in San Diego but the booth fee was exorbitant. <br /><br />One of the vandwellers members shared her experience of sitting at parks and beaches working on her sewing projects. She kept a basket of stuff for sale next to her. People would be interested and ask questions, and she would tell them items in basket were available for a suggested donation of $xx. She sold quite a bit that way, but discretely. I have done the same....people are curious to watch me spin or knit, and I often show kids how to spin. Then they buy something to remember it by. I sold a ton of Lucets that way. <br /><br />Sorry for the ramble. Hope that helps. <br /><br />
