1What you're buying
25 years selling party goods inside New Jersey's biggest flea market.
Party supplies, bingo gear for the senior groups and tour buses, baking staples - the niche nobody else in the market may sell, per a lease clause worth reading.
The landlord brings every customer.
The 1929-vintage Columbus Farmers Market generates all foot traffic across a four-day week - the company converts it at 5.0 stars.
A husband-and-wife team is the whole operation.
The floor, the buying, the stocking. Our numbers price one replacement seat at $64,900 and say so about the second pair of hands.
2Two ways to own it
The manager case prices ONE $64,900 seat against a two-person family operation - a buyer couple absorbs the second seat; a solo buyer budgets part-time counter help on top.
Both ranges are our estimate, not the seller's figure. Each starts at its careful end.
3What the listing doesn't tell you
The rent.
Inside-store rents at this market are published nowhere. The lease - yearly, landlord-approved, allegedly exclusive - is the entire deal, and it is not in the listing.
The other earnings number.
A second published version says about $131K. The listing quotes the higher one.
Two of 6 findings. The rest are in the full file.
4The price and the verdict
2.0x the seller's SDE; the middle of similar listings is 2.3x.
Based on asking prices, not completed sales.
