I went to one of the Flea Markets here in Central Fl and there are several vendors selling printed tees from about $4.00 to $8.00. How do they do it for so cheep and make a profit. Are they buying them from a wholesaler already printed??
Does anyone know where I can get them that cheep?

Thanks

What type of shirts were they? Did you notice the brand and design? Did you buy one to see how well they held up in the wash?

Flea markets are geared for high volume, low profit margin sales. You make money off the volume. No one goes to flea markets to buy $30 shirts. So for them to be selling at all, they have to be cheap.

They usually buy shirts buy the truck-load.

Their costs are so low, because they buy hundreds and thousands at a time.

a white shirt can cost around 1.25 from the main suppliers, and pro workld stock transfers are around 2.00 each, so selling for 4 or 5 bucks can make 1.75-2.75 profit each. But then again you need to buy a lot of stock and lots of transfers.
