Scott and Robby woke at 5:15 AM and were out the door and en route to the flea market by 5:30. Timmy and I slept until 7:30 and arrived at the market around 8:30. The place was hopping and Scott and Robby were busy chatting up customers when we arrived.
We were encouraged to set up by 6:30 and, since this was our first experience as a flea market vendor, we followed the instructions. As it turns out, early bird customers are not interested in flexi-friend toys. The customers I saw speaking with Robby were the first of the day. Flexi-friends really started to gain some interest when the families started to stroll through the market around 10:00.
Sales were slow but the experience was valuable. Robby sold about 40 toys in total and we are already gearing up for next weekend. After next weekend's market we are going into a sales hiatus so that Robby can concentrate on production. He has signed up for a vendor table at a mall near my Mom's house in August and we anticipate that this will be our demographic.
It looks like our 3d printer will be getting a work out this summer.
