EDDIEWONG

Yep, flea market time again in Musashi-Koyama. I guess most of you will remember, I usually join the girls and participate twice a year (May and October). The one that was supposed to happen in May was cancelled due to bad weather therefore at todays market, most of us had quite a bit to sell. Sometimes I just wonder where all these things come from especially with the girls. They’re like here twice a year and each time, they have cases and cases of stuff to sell!?!

With it being a 3 day weekend coupled with nice weather, I guess most people are out of town hence todays sales was not as good as before. We were placed at our usual spot which is between the station and the shopping mall therefore a lot of people walk by and checkout our stuff. Biggest problem is, this area is not a posh area and most of the residents are pensioners. Also, there seems to be a lot of Chinese and Philipino shoppers. All this means, we cannot sell our stuff for a high price - we’ve always kept the pricing around ¥300-800.

As usual, I got rid of all my stuff. Not because my stuff is really good or cheap, it’s more of a case that I don’t want to bring any of it back home so I just give away the stuff that I can’t sell near the end of day. That said, I did manage to sell most of my toys, PS2/PSP games, and a lot of useless gifts.
