State of Being : Tiring but Fulfilling

While most people will usually relax on a Sat afternoon but for me and my family, we actually spent yesterday afternoon hawking 2nd hand goods @ Tanglin Mall Flea Market. Though it was a tiring 6-7 hours of experience but we were still fairly satisfied with the profits at the end of the day.

Anw here's an account of my first attempt at being an entrepreneur @ Tanglin Mall Flea Market:

• Created an online advertisement at sgadsonline (see ADV Tanglin Mall Flea Market)
• Designed the Pricing Boards on the night before




Rather ambitious pricing!



• Reached the mall at 230pm and wasted no time in setting up the stall; our LOT 23!
  
  
  

  
  Here's our allocated space. Though small...
  
  
  ...but rather good location!


Our neighbour LOT 24 aka competitor!



• Managed to sell our goods at mostly $5 each for the first 1-2 hours




Look at our high pile of clothes at the beginning


Other 'junks' besides clothes selling for $1-$5 each

• But was "forced" to lower our prices to $3/$4 as the day follows...




Check out our dwindling pile of clothes and misc stuffs



• Eventually started clearing stocks at $2 & even $1!!! when the crowd started getting thin
• Finally decided that we are done for the day at 9pm *shagged* :P
  
  
  
  
  
  
  All packed up and ready to go...

• Accounting time!!! And how did our hard work pay off???
  
  
  
  We made a profit of $260.60!!!
