hey guys, uncle crow here..

it's been a while, and it seems that i've spent the last year getting kicked. i still have not stabilized yet financially, and i'm considering a scary solution:

full time flea market sales.

 

has anyone tried selling thier instruments full time at flea markets and events? my job is dissolving, and i'm tired of getting shuffled from one crappy job to the next. my girlfriend says maybe it's time i took the uncle crow thing to the next level, and start my own store.

 

i have my own web site, and have spent a decent amount of time in sales, so i'm sure i CAN do it.. but i was wondering if anyone else has tried, and had any decent amount of success.

 

if anyone has EVER ran a small flea market business and has any advice, i'd be happy to listen! thanks for everything guys!

Good luck, I put some on Craigslist, no luck. But, I did improve my e-mail skills. I would like to attend the fest, but I have other plans. Hope you can sell 'em all.
LOL, well, I reckon if I could build and sell about ten mid to high end builds a day I could still afford to eat.......
