Week 1 result - $60.30
NOT good.
Not good at ALL.

Well, had to cut the experiment short a week; just before the second weekend, my grandmother had digestive problems that forced me to miss a Friday altogether. That made me realize that I need to stick close to home unless I have someone to cover for me.
FLEA MARKET BOOTH SALES - $404.25 of $700 needed to recoup all investment
Going to auction in the next ten days to liquidate the remaining stock; I'll let you know how that works.

Well, at least weeks 2 and 3 seemed pretty good. You sold $344 after week 1.
($404 less $60 = $344, unless I'm misunderstanding it.)

Yes, but most of that was me liquidating stock to other dealers. Not more than $150 of the total $400 was to actual outside customers- probably a lot less than that.

Clearance auction posted less than $100 returns. Loss of over $200 for the whole experiment.
Dammit, dammit, dammit, DAMMIT dammit dammit.

Well if you gained any information form the exercise it's not a total loss.
