why are flea markets only open on weekends?
88964
My aunt used to sell scrunchis at flea markets around here. They were only open on the weekend for a couple reasons. One, many (if not most) of the people selling stuff have regular jobs during the week. Two, most of the customers have jobs during the week, and since a flea market is generally a daytime thing, that doesn't leave a lot of time for average working folks to get out there and buy stuff during the week. Three, people tend to think of it as a weekend thing - you know, take the kids, walk around, drink a soda, buy a lamp - so the tradition stands. Fourth, renting a table all week would cost more, and you wouldn't sell enough to make up the difference. \n\nI do know of one week-day flea market around here, but it's inside a former grocery store, so that's a little different.

The original flea market is likely to be the Marché aux puces of Saint-Ouen, Seine-Saint-Denis, in the northern suburbs of Paris, a large, long-established outdoor bazaar, one of four in Paris, that earned their name from the flea-infested clothing and rags sold there. From the late 17th century, the makeshift open-air market in the town of Saint-Ouen began as temporary stalls and benches among the fields and market gardens where ragpickers exchanged their findings for a small sum. In modern days, the largest "flea market" for antiques is still that at Saint-Ouen.\n\nRetrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flea_market"

Instead of trying to find a job to work during the week, what about just working weekends.  Retail and Restaurants/Bars would be a good place to make some money.  If you need quick money I'd look into a job as a food server at a decent restaurant or cocktail waitress at a bar.  Cash every time you work.  And the hours are usually pretty flexible.

Go around town to local garage sales. Go in the afternoon when folks are ready to deal. Buy good clean items & resell them on eBay.

No one can tell you the weekly schedule. That depends on how busy it is and the hours the business is open. Some are open later than others, some are closed on Sundays.

well you know eBay wasn't the only auction sight, just happened to be the one that took off and has the most activity.  Alot of it is just luck as to what places take off and what ones don't.

As much as people run around on weekends, adding another day would make it worse, not better.  Besides short of working 10-hour days, people would have less money and that would hurt the economy.\n\nOf course, I work at a company where I can flex my hours so I could do this if I wanted to but the idea of 10-hour days does not appeal to me at all.

Weekdays have higher traffic volumes than most weekends. Many U.S. Internet users still rely upon the workplace for access to a high-speed Internet connection, making online shopping even more convenient. For example - The first Monday after Thanksgiving is referred to as ‘Black Monday’ in the online retail world as consumers return to the workplace following the holiday weekend and shop till they drop on lunch and on breaks (and probably when they should be working!) Be mindful of time zones as well - if have an auction end at 10pm Pacific time that is 1am Eastern time and you won't find many bidders willing to stay up that late.
