I like having the painting display thingy. My Sim saves all his masterpieces and sells them at 300% mark up. So much easier than opening a retail lot. I use the table mostly to sell frogs and woodworking items.I can't figure out for the life of me how to use the tarp. I bought all the timgs at the Flea Market and was going to try to sell them at a huge profit. It doesn't seem like the sales amounts count toward money earned by the individual Sim in the Wealth aspiration. It does count toward the money in reserve.Is anyone else using the Yard Sale items? How is it working for you?

I hadn't gotten around to trying these things until recently. But I have a Sim who should make her living from yard sales since it fits her character (poor has to earn everything the hard way, lol) I made her sell flowers the other day at the flea market. She made about $58 so it was alright, since she didn't have time to collect any crystals or frogs etc. I want her to move up to ratty furniture. lol

Got it...Come and Get it Street Store ... very intuitive ;)

OK...Come and Get it Street Store and any outdoor chair can go into your inventory. Not the tarp, sadly :(You can stock the table with anything that will go into a sim's inventory. I just grabbed all the books off a bookshelf and dragged them into my sim's inventory for my test.To setup, drag the table out of the inventory and then you need to stock the table. To do this, open the sims inventory and drag your stuff to the table.Next, select the table and select stock table, then tend table, then start sale.

I would love it if the flea market sold more than lamps and chairs for furniture, my sim is trying to furnish their apartment with second hand items only. Also I have been playing a challenge where my sim can only make money selling things she finds with the market table and found out that you can start a yard sale anywhere, including inside public buildings. The tarp doesn't work at all for selling and you can't sell posters on the art wall or table.

I wish we could make bouquets of the flowers we grow or find and sell them there too.

I've been able to take out the yard sale table everywhere. Just go to where you want to set up and click place in world.

I'm gonna log off and get in game and see if I can do this. I couldn't do this the other day. Maybe it was just me. I may have to test in new game instead of current one.

So I lucked into some high dollar frogs. They are worth 120. So I keep a breeding pair for each Sim. Breed them and the new ones I put on the table. At 300% I get 360 per frog. I think four fit on the table. You can make some decent money that way and it doesn't take as long as the retail store. I think the markup on the retail store is maxed at 100%.

I'm gonna see if it will let me do baked goods or drinks. Lemonade stand, anyone?

The problem with the retail lots is it just takes all Sim day to sell anything. $3000 painting or $25 lamp. You had to harangue your customers all day long. My self employed Sims made less on retail lots. I do still like them and use them, but they are just second homes for my Sims. I seldom use them for selling anything.
