I started vending back in 2021 and now have over 1,000 vending hours under my belt. For my first several events, I was always missing something because I didn't know what I need. Because of that, I was also buying a lot that I didn't need. Since market season is right around the corner, I thought it'd be nice to do a market series. The first thing that we need to cover is the basic equipment to get started with vending. Everything mentioned in this video are things that I must have with me at every market now.
In this video, I also shared the estimated cost of all the equipment and everything. Don't get shocked by the total estimation. Remember that I did not buy everything all before my first market. I got things as I needed. And if you can borrow anything or get creative with what you already have, it never hurts to try.
