Calling all Fleamarket & Gift Shop Vendors! (Fort Myers, Sanibel: mortgage, theatre)

Is there really any money in tapping into the tourism Money Jar? I see Gift shops open year after year in Sanibel. I also see Vendors year in and year out at Fleamasters - the Question is Can you make a Living? Living on the Cape, what do really need with out a Mortgage w/ 2 kids to Live- Roughly the Cost to survive and thensome~ thank you for your time.

There are tons of people making a living doing flea markets and shows around Florida.

Mt Dora, Webster, Bigtop and many others are large flea markets that bring in large crowds and they spend tons of money.

Might not all be in Fort Myers but Florida is well known for having a large and money making flea market every day of the week if you want to go to them.

I wont mention a name but I know a man who sells at Webster on Monday and Big Top during the weekend and claims he does 100k per year in profit for 3 days of selling per week. From the look of his house, boat, camper and 60x80 building full of antiques I am sure he does very well.

Used to be a decent flea market at the old movie theatre in Fort Myers but it has been a while since I was there on the day it was running.
