Default Daily Profit from Pushcart

A question to all you pushcart owners - what is a realistic profit that can be made from a pushcart. I know a lot will depend on products etc, but I am trying to quantify the potential before jumping in. How many sales do you do on a good day? Average day? Bad day?
Is it possible in your opinion to make $200 profit a day from a pushcart (after all expenses)??

Appreciate any input

ok, I've stopped my 7years of pushcart business for 2 years now, so it might not be very accurate... but just in case you wanna know.

and you are right, it all depends on the product and the period, cos' you can never compare Christmas time to March. You know what I mean? *smile*

The amount below is after all expenses. I'm talking about per day. I'm not referring that you'll have good day for one entire month *wink*.

Good Day : $1000
Average Day : $200
Bad Day : Negative!!!!

why negative you say?
cos' you didn't sold anything and instead your things got stolen!!!
that's NEGATIVE isn't it?!
*eyes rolled*
ya.... I was that unlucky before.... *sigh*

May I know what do sell at the pushcart that can let you earn $1000 so much?

I tried selling at bazzaar but ended up not enough to cover the rental.

I sell accessories.
From Handmade ones to the high end accessories like 925 sterling silver with precious stones and Mother of Pearl

Hi Angeline,

i am also selling higher end accessories but have never reached your highest earning. Where were you selling that time? Mind to share?

sure! no problem sharing.

I was at Suntec City.
Not a pushcart exactly.
but a counter space.
the one beside the Duck Tour counter.
there are 3 counters there (excluding the Duck Tour counter)
I took the one in the middle.
it was about 4-5years ago, in the month of December.
