In town there is always are large market and im thinking about opening a stall, (im 16) am i old enough? How do i go about having a stall only at weekends? Is it worth it?
Wheres the best place to buy cheap stock?
I want to earn money and i could work 7 days a week for a few hours on minimum wage but i think itd be a better use of my time to have a market stall, i could have it under an adults name and give them the money if needed.
Basically, rough estimate for a stall (they all look rather shabby tbh and i think theres a niche market to make a stall look a bit more expensive)
A good place to buy super cheap stock from
Pros + Cons etc
Give us a clue.
What sort of stock?
Don’t be daft! There are 7 working days in the week – and you want to trade on 2 of them. Admittedly Saturday will be your busiest day, and Sunday may be half as busy as Saturday – but from what you say – you’re going to be throwing away the other five days ENTIRELY.
Do you think these stall holders just wave some magic wand and their whole business empire is set up for the day? There’s a whole world of preparation behind these shabby stalls.
The fact that that you’ve spotted they’re shabby tells me a lot about how much money these people make trading. There is a difference between being busy and being BUSY. It sounds very much as if these stalls are not particularly brilliant at turning your average browsing customer into PAYING customers.
Having a stall ‘look a bit more expensive’ isn’t going to attract the bargain-hunter. You really need to clarify what you’re going to sell. What sort of stuff do the current market stall holders sell – and what do you think their profit-margin is (can’t be that high – coz they don’t seem to be spending it on the outward look of their stall).
A good place to buy super-cheap stock (whatever stock that may be) is CHINA. But, you’d better have warehousing up the ying-yang.
