Last year a scrapbooking company invited Nebo School District teachers to their warehouse to get stuff to use for personal or classroom use. Seeing money signs, I grabbed as much stuff as I could. Now I have boxes of scrapbooking stuff. I found out it It only costs $15 to have a booth at the Farmer's Market. On Saturday I set up a booth with my money savvy neighbor, Amanda Peeler (the same girl I did the yard sale with earlier). I displayed all of my scrapbooking stuff and she sold chocolate covered strawberries, carmeled apples, and "hair blooms." I discovered that the Farmer's Market is NOT a good avenue to sell scrapbooking stuff. Who knew? My visions of getting rich were crushed. I was selling my stuff for dirt cheap and I still didn't sell very much. I only made about $22 after costs. :( I am determined to make some money out of all this so my next attempt will be to advertise on KSL. I'm not too keen on selling stuff on Ebay because I don't want the hassle of mailing everything. Wish me luck!
