Default Selling Shirts at The Swap Meet

Has anyone here Sold shirts at a Swap meet?

I am trying to start up a Business,and it is pretty nerve racking. I got a business card from someone selling shirts at the swap meet when I searched the business name on our state website...it wasn't registered.
Do you have to be a registered Business to sell shirts at the swap meet or online?
If so,does anyone know what steps to take.
All of this is new to me and I dont wanna break any laws.
I live in Hawaii and was thinking of selling at The Aloha Swap Meet.
I also wanted to do my own site online.

Laws can vary by state, I would check first before selling.

You'll need to register with your state's sales tax agency, but your "business" can be an individual sole proprietor, it doesn't have to be a corporation or anything.

If you check your state's website, they will lay out everything you need to start a business in your state.
