Anyone who sells produce, especially at markets, how do you keep you greens fresh and prevent wilting?

I sold lots of things on CL, you have to deal with the riff raff the lowballers tire kickers. Had a woman cuzz me out. Because i marked my ad sold pending funds. Said she sue me. I laughed and told her Have had it. Recently had one ask if that was my best price, i replied. I thought therewas room to add a little more.
The one you need to be worried about.
Just beware of the one who wants to send you a check and you hold items, for their agent or shipper. Insist on US postal money order or walmart moneygram. It will eliminate scammers. These so called interested buyers are usually scamming from outside of this country. You might detect it in their written messages. They scour CL fleabay gunbrôker and other sites you can list your own stuff on. I insist on face to face sales of firearms and cash. This sends them back to their holes.
Even if they tell you they are serving in the military overseas Beware.

I'd rather deal with the ones that can't read


Good luck with your sale

Here they use shade tents umbrellas and coolers to hold items.

I am not knocking or trying to sell the product. I don't know how anyone can justify the Cost of Yeti coolers. I looked around the market today. About half of the coolers in the back of the trucks and under the tables were Yeti Brand. The others were same ole same ole wally world type. It was 96 degrees today there and busy as normal. Blackberries and peaches are in.

Oooh fresh peaches right now would be magical
