My experience is confined to ebay and train show set-ups. My problems there was having /getting good inventory. But three/oops four small shops in Columbus, Ohio, l used to stop at (need to check and see if another out of way shop is still viable) , have joined the dinosaurs.My flea market experience was inventory...you have to have something to sell. Two of those shops had empty shelves, before closing, after "built-to-order". Sure looked like they couldn't get inventory! What l would wish to do is make trains not offered ... guess what a large flammable pile of lira that would take, not to mention youth, stamina, and perseverance? And then look at the "Amazon" effect and COVID effect:. People have had to go to mail order to get anything...chicken and egg...shops closed...mail order..now, mail competition before you could open shop..and l just posted thoughts on staffing/labor problem..COVID?entry people left . Restaurants closed....small business closed...no labor...not enough hours in day to be a one-man band
