Ideas to sell on weekend markets? Thanks? -

Buy second hand carpets at auction, cut it to make bath mats and toilet mats.I used to recycle used carpets like that and made a pretty good whack (More in 4 hours than my weekly income from work - about 350 to 450 UK Pounds).Another tactic is to go at 5am and buy all the baby clothes you can find, up until about 8am - then set up a store and sell them at a more reasonable price.I could spend about 10 pounds for clothes, and sell them for more than 300. What I had left over, I d sell to a local shop dealing with second hand clothes.Just for fun, I once bought 10 gas lighters for a pound, and set them up for 30p each, or 3 for a pound. The guy I bought them from sat at his stall opposite mine (2 metres distant) and laughed a lot - I sold more than he did. About 9 out of 10 people bought 3 for a pound instead of twigging, 30p each is cheaper!
