flea/bazaar experience
it has been a busy week for me and my partner.
we started doing flea and bazaar. hehehe... was a nice experience. except for the sales and the weather, everything was fine. hahahaha.. i tot sales wasnt that good. it could be better.
i would not say we earn anything from the flea. cos we mainly sell our old clothes and bags at superly low prices. we could have bought those clothes at v high prices. my clothes/bags were priced at a range of $20+ to $80+ when i bought them. and i sold them at $5-$10 onli!!! it could be considered a loss. but if it wasnt for this flea, i'd oso have thrown those things away or jus leave it at home to turn mouldy.
flea was at chinatown garden bridge. sales was quite bad the 1st day. we managed to earn onli $1 after deducting our rental.. $1!!!! thats very bad lo. luckily the 2nd day was better.
and the weather at chinatown was very bad. it rained for awhile on our 1st day. and den the sun came out. it was very sunny the 2nd day. very sunny. i tink im abt 6 tones darker lo. serious lo! cos im the type who gets tan when i jus cross the road. and i can even get tan when im at home. haiz... my whitening efforts went down the drain. =(
the bazaar was at NUH. sales was damn bad. we cldnt even cover our rental. =( our neighbour was a guy selling cartoon bags at $60 each!!!! and i saw him selling at least 3 of them on the 2nd day!! haiz... maybe its our strategy la.
luckily we were not affected by the bad weather. these few days were damn hot la. the bazaar was in the basement. and there were fans ard..
and i was not pleased with the food in NUH. damn ex la. i ordered vegetarian bee hoon which i tink would probably cost $2 at normal coffeeshop. it turns out to be $3+ lo. pea's is worse lo. her food cost $4+!! our 'profit' couldnt even cover our very expensive brunch lo.
although its really v tiring doing fleas/bazaars, its still considered a good experience la.
