How to Sell Here

  

Selling your goods or services at San Jose Flea Market is very easy:

  1. Arrive before 8 a.m. with what you’ll be selling.
  2. Drive through the vendor drive through and we’ll assign your booth and show you where it is on the map.
  3. Go to your space and set up. Most people like to bring a table and a tarp.
  4. Prepare to leave before the park closes at dusk.

 

Options:

  1. You may park one vehicle, less than 20 feet, in your space. Alternatively, you can just park on your space long enough to unload or load your goods, and then move your vehicle to the public parking area. One free parking space is included with your space rental.
  2. Easy-up tables and tarps are available for rent. Just ask when you rent the space.
  3. There are a limited number of spaces with electricity. Call (408) 453-1110 ahead of time to see what is available.

 

Tips for success:

  • Offer paper or reusable bags for your customers to use.
  • Bring plenty of extra change since the ATMs only dispense $20s.
  • Be willing to negotiate, you will sell more.
  • If you rent a space for both Saturday and Sunday, you can leave your things on the space. Make certain the area is protected from the weather and that your items are reasonably secured.
  • If you want to plan ahead, you can reserve up to a week in advance.
  • Be sure to read the Vendor Rules and FAQ pages.
