If you live in a region where bicycling is popular bicycle parts can make you some money. I'm always looking for good bicycle parts like stems, seat posts, derailleurs and wheel sets. IMO parts for bikes that are sold in big box sporting good shops won't make you money. Part levels like Shimano 105, Simano Ultegra and Shimano Dura Ace will sell good. Also, people are always looking to build up a road bike or mountain bike so nice frames would be excellent to stock (think steel frames).
I run a small Flea Market in Ohio. One of our vendors that is doing really well is buying and selling vintage video games. Offer a couple percentage points more than the big companies like Game Stop offers and you can get all the inventory you want.

Agreed, atari, intelevision, old nintendos, are something people pay a decent buck for and something many people will buy as an impulse buy becauese they owned one when they were younger
I had a booth in a flea market for 7 years. I couponed and most of my stock was practical items. Deodorant,'body wash, air fresheners etc.' I did very well.'
I notice knives and weedpipes are always popular stands no matter what flea market you go to. I remember being in high school always going to the flea market to go to these stands. I think these are pretty good money makers and huge markups. You normally pay like $15 - $25 for the larger decent knives which are still crap, the guy buying them probably pays $2 for them. Pepper spray, stun guns and airsoft are also popular at these typses of tables.

This, pretty much if the market allows it. Some are more discrete. Also big bins of used items for $1-5 does well.

In my area I find ther's two kinds of flea markets. There's the ones that are more antiques and stuff and tehn there's the rest which tend to allow even if technically policy is against it they turn a blind eye allow weed pipes nad knives and stash cans and stuff like that. Those stands do very well. Also gun accessories ie speedloaders, holsters, tactical gear also sells very well.
There are definately some shady flea markets, most of them in Chicago and surrounding burs are flooded with counerfeit stuff, one near me up until recently there was actually a guy making fake ids with a camera and laminator right out in the open, finally got busted after years.
A multi million dollar a year business is in Sex toys but unfortunately, no one has figured out a way to exploit the exposure needed at swap meets and flea markets.
If you could find a way, you'd get rich quickly
This article states that even Walmart is getting in on the business as God knows that they need more money to get their hands on.

I think sex toys are going to sell best in one of two environments. 1. online as people can buy without having to face a cashier and 2. at a sex shop or sex parties where the buyer knows nobody else around will be judgemental.
You go to a sex shop you have nothing to worry about being judged because everyone else is there too. However at Walmart if I walk up to the counter with a double sided you know the mom buying cerial behind me may give me some looks as may the cashier.
I know Walgreens sells lubes and vibrating rings and wands and stuff from like Trojan but I don't even imagine seeing like real sex shop products on the counters of big box stores.
