in 2014 i played a lot of Yu-Gi-Oh and when i started participating in tournaments i really started spending a lot of money on it
until one day I found myself with the piggy bank completely empty.😥
My mom had the idea of signing up for one of those street markets that were held in Russi, my country. the first few days were not very profitable so I decided to also invite a friend of mine to keep me company, he too an inveterate Yu-Gi-Oh player and after joining our inventory.
after a few days we became a giant of the flea market industry.
Actually no, but we were making a decent income.✨
We had filled an album of hole cards and whoever spent at least € 5 had the right to draw one and have a chance to win rare cards.... business!!
later in 2016 we moved to the summer markets made in Cervia a much larger maritime city.
A lot of tourists took part in this event and also a considerable number
of sellers, for the first time we had real competition.
My biggest weakness was the lack of ability to haggle the prices of things and every time I was defeated by the grandmothers of the children who were really very strong at bringing you down the price.🧑🦳
The trick that we had was to start from a higher price and then be the ones to propose to bargain... business!!
over time my partner and I got used to the new mood in sales and we obtained a group of boys and children who came every Monday to shop something or just chat with us.
2020 was our last market
we were starting to get a little too big and had both stopped playing yugioh.
On Monday in July I always go to say hello to a girl who was our number 1 rival at the time.
She continues to sell undeterred and she has recently started using
Cardmarket a very large e-commerce of trading cards, also involved the boyfriend who, however, does not seem very interested!
This collage represents the spirit of the seller, who would also be able to sell in the middle of the desert!🐺
