What is the wholesale price of Mexican goods flea market?
At flea markets in Mexico everyone seems to sell the same kind of things (dishes, figureines, hammocks, shot glasses, etc.) I was wondering if anyone knew how much he paid to vendors for their belongings. For example, hammocks were running about $ 350 pesos, which could be exchanged for about $ 200. How much is paid in a hammock (or anything else)?
If you drive around the Yucatan Peninsula, pass through small villages. If you look through the doors of the huts, you'll see some of them with hammock loom (2 vertical poles set about six feet away). The woman living there work in the fabric as the weather permits, between preparing for meals and care of animals. Then a trader come and hammocks all women have made since the last time he came. The money may allow women to buy another chicken or turkey. You can get 100 pesos for the size of a person and 250 pesos for a double size. But is all that the trader can trade. If a woman really needs the money, she could have less. But she knows how many hours went into making each one, so you can wait for the next player to come and see if can get more money.
