This coming weekend we are attending our second ham radio swap meet. As I mentioned in an earlier blog post, these are electronic flea markets and they provide us with a great opportunity to make a little money and continue to get exposure for our home embroidery business. We have built a small enclosed trailer since our last trip because otherwise we have to travel in two cars. Considering we have to setup the evening before and then return the following day for the show, this wasn't very practical when it required we take both cars from a gas usage stand point.
I started pricing a number of very small enclosed trailers and the least expensive one we could find was about $1500. That trailer was 4 1/2 feet by 5 feet. We also needed a trailer that was very light so that it could be pulled around with my wifeÂ’s small car. So thatÂ’s where the DIY person inside of me once again took over. We now have finished the trailer and are ready for the show this weekend at a final cost of just over $500. With a bit of luck we can make most of that back with this weekends show.
