Even if I don't have the money to buy it, I want to know everything about it and also tell the maker exactly why it's grabbed my attention. Personally I love getting that kind of feedback from customers, so I do my best to give it generously in return.<br /><br />And my least enjoyable market day was when I was coming down with a cold, drinking Lemsip from a flask and really didn't want to be there. I had one sale all day, which luckily was a big one and covered the cost of my stall.Jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01257294267302489273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590927183326781738.post-69659714632782428832009-09-13T01:00:00.683+10:002009-09-13T01:00:00.683+10:00I agree with CurlyPops.

If I wanted to be ignored by a sales person, I would go to a shopping center!<br /><br />Markets are also fabulous for finding special and unique items.My.Florentinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16573773251403291750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590927183326781738.post-69592666701331150302009-09-12T23:11:27.385+10:002009-09-12T23:11:27.385+10:00I love to chat to the seller.

I don't usually buy anything from sellers who sit behind their stalls and don't actually acknowledge my presence.CurlyPopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02073292585833387749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590927183326781738.post-61710566219597811452009-09-12T22:54:21.827+10:002009-09-12T22:54:21.827+10:00I think i go to markets more as a buyer than a sel...I think i go to markets more as a buyer than a seller. No not I think....I know. and i love finding unique, handmade things. things that I can put in my house, and when I spot them I smile and think...I'm the only person in the whole wide world who has that...and if i'm not, I know that the other person who might have one too, no doubt bought it from the same fabulously talented handmadie that i bought it from.
