Yes or no?
I was almost done making this thread, then I hit backspace and it disappeared. :( As a result, this thread is going to suck. :mad:
It would be insanely cheap, well compared to actual piercing places and malls and such. I'm thinking $2-3 for a generic belly ring, like this:

Walmart has them for $3 each, but they come in a package of 10, so you end up spending $30. I figure people would be much more willing to shell out $3 for 1 thing than $30 for 10 things.
I'd also sell 'fancy' belly rings, like these:

For around $5-8, I think. Walmart sells them for $30 for the 3 of them.
Let's see, I'd also have a smaller selection of maybe 50-100 tongue rings, and a few (maybe 10-25 of each) eyebrow, nose, and labret rings as well.
The jewelry would be displayed in a clean but not sterile case like this:

The jewelry would come in a small plastic bag, like this:

I also found a wholesale set of 100 stainless steel rings (for your finger) for $115, so I might buy those and try to sell them for around $5 each.
So yea, would you buy body jewelry at a flea market? It's important to note that I live in a large city, and it seems like almost everybody has body piercings, so there's definitely a market, I just don't know if a flea market is the right place to sell it.
