I take it you've converted the prices to todays money .

Great idea by the way.

Correct, taught me all about a "captive market" very young, several miles of cars stuck in the heat for hours in long traffic jams with kids and adults overheating, the good old days before aircon.

Shame the event only lasted for 3-4 days.

I grew up in a broken family, we were POOR. Used to play the kids at marbles, win them off them and sell them back to them!

First item I sold...hmmm. I can't remember which one was first:

* When I was 5-6 years old I made my own chips and sold them to family members
* When I was 5-6 years old I sold 3 tickets to my concert where I was singing (kind of)

If we don't count sales to family members, then first money I made out sales was @ age 12-14 when I was publishing and selling monthly newspaper in school. Ohh boy, we even didn't have a copy machine - I actually manually made all the copies with typewriter
