If there was only one thing that makes or breaks a vendor, it would be how much that vendor pays for his or her merchandise.
Just this morning (6-20-03), a vendor friend dropped by our local coffee shop.
While we were shooting the breeze, he mentioned that some vendors at the market he worked went to K-Mart to buy their stuff. Then they were taking it to the flea market and trying to resell it at a profit.
I said, “You’ve got to be kidding?”
“No, I am serious”
I said, “ How can they make any money?”
“They’re not!” he replied. “They’re old retirees who don’t know anything about making money.”
You must always be looking for a better price for your merchandise.
Your wholesale price is all you have to work from.
The lower it is the more room you have to deal with the customer.
