Where are the customers?
That seems to be the question vendors are asking each other here at Englishtown Auction this Sunday morning. It's 10:30am already, where are they? It's not a new question, but yesterday was great, so where are they today?
Despite many empty spaces, most of the regular vendors are here. There are some people walking around, but not much buying going on. I haven't done a sale in the last 20 minutes.
Maybe everyone went out last night and decided to sleep in to catch that hour they lost spring forward to eastern standard time? Maybe they are in church and will show up later? Maybe the overcast weather has them scared to come out? It's not supposed to rain until after 3pm. It is supposed to be 62 degrees later, maybe they'll come out then? Maybe the economy is worst than we think, now that February's unemployment data has been released?
Whatever the case, we need customers.
Of all the problems with being a flea market vendor, the unpredictability of the market is the worst. Never mind braving the elements,paying rent, our nosey neighbors.
Gotta run........there's a customer at my booth.....WOO HOOO!!!!
