So anyways this Friday we had hosted a Swap Meet event where we pay a $5 fee for a table and the rest you sell is all the profits you get to keep. I needed 2 tables so I paid $10 fee. I got there at 4:30pm (I wanted to be there at 4:00pm, but we were held up quite a bit). My and my sisters decided to join me for this event to help me sell my stuff. Luckily I got a good spot despite two other people were ahead of me. The best spot in the room in my opinion is the table to the door way out of the room (which was mine). Because for one people come from there and they also go from there. So there is better chances of people taking a look at our stuff and especially since my and my little sister are wearing maid outfits to grab some attention. :) Thank goddness my side of the wall had some hangers so I could hang up my dress. That was a lifesaver. Took me about 40 minutes to set up my booth. I was happy how it turned out. Pretty much everything all the items I wanted were displayed and thank you to Daiso for teaching me how to display items and bringing tons of $1 & $5 so that I can take $100, $50, and $20 bill from people. That place has taught me something that I can bring to my life. I loved how my table turned out. I'm so happy to own a table of my own and sell my stuff. My very first time and I was super excited to go all out for it. I even had a box full of candy for so people to take.

that is my little sister wearing my maid outfit I let her borrow because it looks awkward when I wear that outfit. ;-;
My table was definitely a success. It was a bit difficult at first since I did all the unpack and displaying even the packing up at the end of the Swap Meet. I made $101 profit ($8 goes to my little sister because she sold some of her stuff). I am amazed I made that much actually. I didn't expect to sell much since a lot of my stuff are girly (I was aware of that). A friend told me he made $16, but that $5 went to the table fee. It was better than I expected in terms of my profit. I really enjoyed socializing with other people. Made some new friends along the way. Requited with old friends from high school. And friends that I already knew in college. My sisters made new friends and overrall they really enjoyed this event. I think my sisters were very surprised how the event went over their expectations. Because of so much fun we had there time literally flew by for us and we were shocked how already we had to close down our table. D: It did not feel like the end! But it was. It was just as I expected what I input my table and would get out as a result. I am very happy to own my very first table. Can't wait to spring semester we do another Swap Meet. My sisters will share a table and mix it with Art Commission as I will sell some of my own stuff, but I don't think I will sell that much that semester.
If you want to see more pictures of how the Swap Meet look like Someone took some pictures of the event here. You can see me wearing my maid outfit and I'm surprised he did not take a good shot of me with it. I didn't mind posing. ;A; I know there were 2 other people floating around with cameras there so I'll go and hunt them down for my picture.
