Will try to make it over there this weekend

HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!!! You will receive a FREE HOT DOG!!!!

[Thunder]

Okay, this is a last minute decision. Due to the crisis emergency, I am going to donate 10% of all sales for Red Cross Oklahoma during the Labor Day weekend (FREE HOT DOGS). It will also be the last weekend for the Heat Wave Sale.

Okay, I am going to attempt rallying the vendors to do the same and set up a process where they can deliver their 10% portions to the market owner for Red Cross Oklahoma donation.

I did two windows and two doors. Here is a picture.

it looks great thunder

I need suggestions for different songs for multiple videos with the select vendors along with Kirby the Goose (duck costume). One I can think of is a country song for dance steps, the other is YMCA, so can people submit listing of songs, please? Don't worry, its all legit as I pay and download these songs on Amazon.

Another video in planning is Kung Fu Goose. One, a vendor screaming for help as a robber attempt to steal. Kirby to the rescue with his ninja style. Two, actual security footage of a breakin (or attempted breakin) of years ago that is still saved. Merge it with Kirby the Goose running them off. I'd like the people's (YOU) ideas for upcoming videos to attempt them gain viral status.

This is extremely difficult for me to product videos, because I am so limited in what I can do without hearing. My computer does not have speakers, so I may get one set up to have someone to sit along side me to assist for special sound effects, timing of certain music (if recorded different angles of one performance..merging together), etc. Doing the best that I can!

The sno-cone truck are here!!! On the north side of the building.

Thanks to all the customers, especially the many OKCTalk members for coming out to grab FREE HOT DOGS and supporting local business owners. The traffic this past weekend has been amazing and the sales skyrocketed.

What was really special was the amount of OKCTalk members enjoying shopping in my store and walking away extremely happy. It was the last Heat Wave Sale weekend, and not only that, it was also Labor Day weekend Sale plus discount for having an OKCTalk membership. Now that was a surprise to the customers! :-)

The Vendors Association raised a few hundreds from generous customers donating toward future events and beautification of Oklahoma's #1 market. We deeply thank you all and will work extremely hard to continue improving the market to the greatest it once was in years past.

On the first October weekend, we will be giving away FREE POPCORN! Yes, FREE POPCORN!!!

As for me, the next grand sale will be on Black Friday. The items will remain a secret, so will be the shocking low prices. All of the other vendors are also gearing up for the Black Friday event that is just around the corner, so don't forget to add Oklahoma's #1 market to your Black Friday morning trips. :-D

Take care and we all thank you very much!

Thunder: sorry if i missed it, but are you all open Monday (Labor Day). Can't believe the weekend went by so fast and I didn't get over there.

The market only open on Saturday and Sunday. I can let in a visitor through the week with appointment. All anyone need to do is text me 405.824.4078 to reserve an appointment.

Also, everyone should thank USG for his time to build a dividing wall that will enclose the new cafe area connecting to the shack. He's a marvelous guy. Hopefully next time, Cameron will be able to tag along.

Sorry I missed it too but I was out of town this weekend, I'll get by there sometime though.

Don't worry. I have an autograph reserved for you. :-)

I am taking Oklahoma's #1 Market, the Golden Goose Flea Market, to the next level.

Now, Old Paris Flea Market will try to recruit me. Just watch, they will re-offer me free lifetime rental.

Anyway, what is Thunder up to now, you ask? Well...

E-Commerce :-O

Right now, all vendors enjoy free basic page within the website. This includes general pictures of items and booth.

And that is not all. As an optional package, they will be able to have their individual items listed with descriptions and prices in an online store soon to come! Optional package? Depending on size of booth and amount of items, there will be different package prices paid to Thunder (me, which you all so dearly love). Why should they pay? Well, it involves time taking individual pictures, preparedness, listing, and updating. It also takes up system resources and bandwidth. Thunder (me, which you all so dearly love) is quite reasonable.

Why an online store? It gives the people an opportunity to browse online and have the general idea of what vendors have to offer. If they see something, the trip to the market is imminent. It also helps the market to gain exposure with online search engines when people search for a specific item.

What payment is accepted? Cash only. Some vendors accept credit/debit cards. As for checks, that is on per customer basis with the vendors (but checks is highly unlikely to be accepted). None of the transaction will be done online. The online store will merely be a presentation of items available at the market. However, online purchasing to hold an item at the market may be possible in the future.

Does any other flea markets in the state of Oklahoma offer such service? No!

How soon will this service become available? There is no specific time frame. It just depends on how busy Thunder is on a day by day operations. Yes, Thunder can be quite busy all across the state. As soon it is mostly done, OKCTalk will enjoy a sneak preview.

I just did a new video a few hours ago. I hope it is funny. The screaming sound effect was a random guess out of a huge list. I have no clue what it sounds like. LOL!



Someone please tell me the sound effect file works in this video, thanks.

[Thunder]

Reposted the video above with adjusted audio.

Do not be afraid! Your safety is our #1 priority!

In the garages, we discovered a snake. Yes, a snake!

It has since been captured and placed in a bucket for slaughter.

(Okay, just joking about the slaughter part.)

We think its the escaped Pet Boa of a guy.

Here is a picture. Warning! This picture may frighten viewers!



At no time Snowball the Hamster and Taz the Poodle was at risk.

[Thunder]

We have become so popular, it warrants a Twitter account! :-O

Follow us @GoldenGooseFM for an exciting adventure! WOW!!!

[Maynard]

... song for dance steps...

Tancz!

[RadicalModerate]

Apparently having its picture taken by a viewer frightened the creature.

That would also be good music by which to clean the hamster and poodle remains out of the snake bucket.

(And some people have expressed a "fear" of stray roaches . . .)

[Thunder]

I am trying to figure out if RadicalModerate is a critic or not.

Anyway, more news on the website. I have added some more Vendors to the list.

ACE Custom Detailing
http://www.goldengoosefleamarket.net...detailing.html
- I strongly encourage people to support this single mother of two. It is her business and she does a fantastic job putting in so much time and effort to thoroughly complete the jobs. She did recent services to the white SUV that is now parked on the vast parking lots (changes parked location) for sale. There are regular happy customers. Feel free to contact her for any questions, etc.

Squish
http://www.goldengoosefleamarket.net/squish.html
- This lady is new and is regularly there with her son. I'd like to see more customers for them to brighten their day.

Classic Designs
http://www.goldengoosefleamarket.net...icdesigns.html
- This lady has a track record of not being there than being available. When she is there, her kids overflow the booth, so I'd like to apologize for the mess that her kids create regularly in the booth (toys, etc). Other than that, she does a fantastic job doing custom orders.

Treasure Island
http://www.goldengoosefleamarket.net...ureisland.html
- This lady is new and has really nice items. I see her bring new items weekly and sells quite good.

There are two other new vendors. One was a no-show last weekend... I believe they had a store elsewhere, but returned to business at the new location, which is at Oklahoma's #1 Market. They requested the next booth expansion (recently vacated by Cashion Candle Shop), so I will wait until they expand into two booths and settle in before posting pictures.

Another vendor is new, which I strongly encourage people to show their support. A young lady and dude with two children, a daughter (4) and a newborn. They sell records, tapes, and comic books. Everything is advertised $1 each. From what I am seeing, they are being quite successful, so check them out.

__________

Becky at Sundance Pet Boutique requested Halloween Pet Pictures for the entire month of October. Each copy will be $5 (WOW SUPER LOW PRICE!). I will be doing the pictures, so I highly recommend getting it done first, then shop around the Oklahoma's #1 Market while I prepare the pictures. The size of the pictures have not been determined yet. I think there will be Halloween theme borders.

During the first weekend of October, everyone will enjoy FREE POPCORN!!!

As for my store, the page has been updated to reflect the following message.

CLOSED! The store is currently under construction for a switchover to Fish & Aquarium Supplies. It will reopen sometime early 2012. The plan is to establish 12 or 15 tanks on display to sell Fish on one wall. A few other tanks to sell Fish in other areas. General supplies and many more! An expansion will soon come for the next available booth space to sell tanks, stands, and larger items. Below are the past pictures of previous inventory.

There will be a minor change applied to all the pages within the website. For the tab, Swap Meet, it will be changed to E.C.S.M. to become Smartphone-Friendly. I noticed that "Swap Meet" was shown with two lines on my Smartphone, so I will be making that change to improve the appearance.

The official logo header had a change from "EVENT CENTER" in the center portion to "EAST COUNTY SWAP MEET" to better advertise the Swap Meet division. Large space are still available to rent for Events.

It has come to my attention that there has been a problem with some people thinking that East County Swap Meet at the Golden Goose Flea Market is Mary's Swap Meet. This is incorrect! Mary's Swap Meet is still at its current location a mile to the west. Most people thought Mary's Swap Meet relocated. This is incorrect! Mary's Swap Meet are operated in a very strange way (closes at noon), so people driving by Mary's Swap Meet area thought the place was gone.

Golden Goose Flea Market and East County Swap Meet are open on Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 6pm. Only in November and December will the entire Oklahoma's #1 Market will be open on Friday additionally. There has been strange people pulling up thinking that the place is open (hello...no cars...duh) during the weekdays.

There are sill a few booth spaces available within the Mini Mall areas and plenty of Swap Meet spaces. Outdoor spaces are always available and is the cheapest along with best price values compared to Mary's Swap Meet's short hours.

On the behalf of the Oklahoma's #1 Market, the Golden Goose, we all express our deepest gratitude for your continuous support of our local business owners. It is because of you all, the market continues to grow and regain strength since the economical woes that affected the United States of America in recent years. Remember, we are still here and happily ready to serve you!

Special Message to the Old Paris Flea Market Vendors - There are incentives and lowest rental prices to relocate to the Oklahoma's #1 Market. Simply give us a call or visit on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Monday from 9am to 6pm. Vendors have access to the building on Thursday, Friday, and Monday, as well as potential new vendors searching to set up business.

The Oklahoma's #1 Market continues to be the only Flea Market and Swap Meet in the state of Oklahoma to have a full website with basic features/webpages. Soon to come, an expanded e-commerce division of the website to showcase specific items with pictures, descriptions, and prices, etc. We advertise the most and frequently to reach out to all Oklahomans in this great state of USA.

[Thunder]

Oh, I forgot the info about Cashion Candle Shop.

They travel to different places. The owners recently vacated their booth at the Oklahoma's #1 Market, which I believe to set up a booth at the Great State Fair of Oklahoma. They also go to other locations. At this time, I do not know when they will return, if ever, but I did leave their page on the website until I can receive further information from them.

What brand of Free popcorn will you be having?

What brand of Free popcorn will you be having?

You will need to consult with the lady owner of the cafe regarding health questions.
