Flea Market Business Set Up
If you intend to sell used items at the flea market, you probably won't have to get a reseller license or a business license. Check your local township, municipality, and state laws. If you will resell new items you purchase from a wholesaler, you will need to charge sales tax if your state demands it. Search online for your state's rules and how to get the proper forms.
After you take care of the legal aspect to starting a flea market business, you have to find a flea market to sell at. Visit a flea market directory and pick one near to where you live. Before you try to sell there, visit it to make sure your merchandise would be a good fit.
Then, early Saturday morning, head out to the flea market, set up, and sell!
