Home business with street sales table

You probably know that you can set up a home business with the street sales table that now exists in lots of versions (CiL, CoL and ECO + CC). Some of my farmers have a table at their farm gate where they sell crops occasionally. Other sims, I think mostly from the same hood or world, will flock to your business on your residential lot.

Another sim built a store in the residential yard, and it's cool watching random customers walking inside to find the sales table.

Now I'd like some ideas on what can be sold from such a home business? I guess most items that fit in a sim's inventory can be sold there, but also some smaller BB items from the catalog I think should work. And, not the least - we can craft a wide range of items, from s mall wooden sculptures to food preserves and bridal bouquets - those might be even more fun to sell from such a home business where you can more or less set the profit.

I never tried the wall objects for selling paintings from a home business - or the ground cloth for bigger items - will they work, too?

What do your sims sell from their home business? Please add to this list:

    Things I've sold (not listed in OP):

    • Metals
    • Elements
    • Upgrade parts
    • Potions (RoM)
    • Serums (GtW)
    • Cooked food
    • Fish
    • Snowglobes (CL)
    • Fossils
    • Toys
    • Jungle gear (JA)
    • Future Cubes
    • Robot Salvage Parts (DU)

    When set up using Eco's "Community Space" lot trait, I've seen NPC's sell:

    • Dyes (Eco)
    • Voodoo dolls
    • Clay
    • Seed packets (though I've not been able to get them into the table's inventory).

    Other sellables:

    • Books
    • Voidcritter cards
    • Beeswax (Eco/Seasons)
    • Plasma Packs (Vampires)
    • Lava Lamps (DU)
    • Bone Dust (JA)
    • Drinks (including teas and coffee)

    Other Tidbits:

    • Celebuserums and reward potions can also be sold, but have no value.
    • Paintings and children's art can be sold using the upright sales table, but not pictures, prints (from GTW), posters (DU/CL), postcards, plaques, or mounted fish.
    • The tarp is just a rug. It's only set to sell things during the Flea Market, and the selection is random.


    Awesome list - thanks! I just added it to the top post, which is also sorted by packs.

    This is a great idea. I prefer medium sized homes on larger lots and this is a perfect way to avoid those landscaping nightmares.
  • Canned food
    Pet toys
    Tablets
    Books
    SimRays and other small science inventions
    Individual cakes and slices of cake (bake sale)
    Llama wool
    Milk
    Cheese
    Bread
    Soy Wax
    Faux Meat Cubes
    Bug ingredients harvested from bug houses

    Also, I don't think CoL had a sales table (or did I miss it?) but JA came with one.
