Anybody Still Doing Bazaars After All These Years

DarleneZ

Just wondering, how many of you guys here are still doing bazaars all these years? I have been doing flea markets and bazaars for the past 6 years but I see no breakthrough at all. I feel like giving up altogether. Initially, I was excited as I got some pocket money to pay for some utility bills and I did hope that one day I would be able to own a physically shop and leave bazaar life.
Sometimes it is tiring to do setup at every event and packed up when it rains (Outdoor event). Plus, the market is so competitive nowadays as more and more people are doing bazaars. The products that they are selling is actually so cheap that I wonder whether they really want to earn money or just want to spoil the market.
When I look at retail shop, the startup cost (renovation, deposit, stocks, manpower) is about 50k-100k. It is too much to take a risk. Is there anyone here that has gone through bazaars and then move on to retail shop? Would appreciate any form of advice. Thanks
