Is it worth going?

A common rule of thumb: sell at least 10x the booth fee. Then check what's left per hour, above.

What will sell?

It depends on the crowd, the season and the price. Bring your best pieces and note what people pick up.

How much to bring?

Enough of your favorites that they last past noon, and less of everything else.

Do I need a permit?

Most states want a sales tax permit. Some events and cities add a vendor license, so ask the organizer.

Cash or cards?

Both. Most people carry little cash, and card fees run under 3%.
