Long Time, No Blog (or) Me so lazy...

Hey all,

I've been busy and lazy since my last post. I've only sold at the flea market 2 times. The weather has been *so* hot and humid. I may get an indoor booth space just for the air conditioning. Unfortunately, sales in the summer months are slower inside, so I'm weighing comfort vs sales.

Also, since last time I've gotten some new sources, one of which was disappointing. I got supposed 'geneva style' watches from some company out of Los Angeles. (I'm not going to name them) Their website *clearly* describes the watches as 'geneva'. Well, I ordered nearly $300 worth. Granted, I got GREAT prices on them, but they were NOT 'geneva'!! They were brands like 'Beverly Hills' and 'Fred Belay' etc... also, I got the WRONG type of 'bling-bling' style watches as well!

They sold ok... not as good as my usual watches, but they *were* less to buy wholesale. All in all, I think I'll go back to getting my best sellers ('Paul Jardin' style) From Anytime Wholesale in PA, and my 'Geneva' style (bling-bling) from Watches LLC out of Texas. It may cost a little more wholesale, but these are consistently better sellers for me.

My cooling bandanas sold really well also. I ordered another case last week. The hot, sunny weather really helps sell my sunglasses and cooling bandanas.

I'm still looking for deals on sunglasses (case lots). I found a company with GREAT prices (.50 per) but I have to buy in lots of 1000 or more! I'm gonna see if someone at the flea market wants to go in 'halveses' on one of these big cases. I could sell them $1 per pair and still make 100% profit!

Well, enough for today... here are a few interesting links for you:
