# How to start a flea market.

To start a flea market, find a large site with parking, lay out many small booths, set simple seller rules and booth fees, decide whether to charge shoppers a small entry fee, and open early, since flea market shoppers arrive at the start for the best finds.

## Lots of booths, simple rules.

- Use standard booth sizes so sellers can book quickly.
- Let sellers pick their spot and pay online to avoid cash at load-in.
- Set rules on prohibited items and how long sellers must stay.
