Subject: Flea markets, Con auctions and swap-and-sell Re: [OT] Selling Figs, old games stuff, etc.

I'm going to have disagree on flea markets and Con auctions/sales. While
occasionally good money, I find them more often the site of bargains. Good
places to buy, less often to sell.

Now, swap meets can be very good, simply if you have enough folks that have
enough weird tastes so that your 'poison' is another person's meat, and visa
versa.

Otherwise, I'll have to agree with Schoon. Between news lists and online
auctions, you're getting exposure to a darn large audience. Just realize it
includes some serious wackos and/or flakes. Coming from me, that's quite
a statement.
