WANTED: Brick Vendors
BrickFest DC Aug 12-14, 2005
BrickFest Website
The Brick Bazaar at BrickFest 2005 is seeking Brick Vendors. Any registered
BrickFest attendee is welcome to bring some LEGO® items to sell or trade at the
Brick Bazaar.
The designated locations for the Brick Bazaar are rooms 105A, 105B and the first
floor lobby. BrickFest Floor Map
Pre-Registration is required. If you have LEGO items you wish to trade or sell,
please pre-register with the Brick Bazaar Coordinator, Kevin Salm, so that space
and tables can be reserved for you. Those brick vendors that do pre-register
will be given the best tables and the best space to set up.
The BrickFest Organizing Committee has set up the following schedule:
Pre-registered Table Fee $ 10.00
Walk-up Table Fee $ 15.00
Sales Fee 3 percent for total sales over $100
The monies collected from Brick Bazaar help cover some of the costs of running
BrickFest. In 2004, several hundred dollars were generated by the Brick Bazaar.
This helps keep costs low for all BrickFest attendees.
Sales tables will be provided. Tables are five feet long. Multiple tables are
available and tables may be shared among more than one person. We also plan to
have a few tables available for absentee traders. So if you only have a few
items to offer, simply mark your items and leave contact info. Then go about
other activities at BrickFest. The coordinator and other brick vendors will
watch over the absentee tables. Fortunately, LEGO fans are an honest bunch.
Anyone attending BrickFest with any LEGO items to sell or trade is encouraged to
consider taking part in the Brick Bazaar. Remember that you must pre-register to
be guaranteed table space in a good location and you must be a registered
attendee of BrickFest. BrickFest Registration Form
To maximize your selling space, here are a few tips and suggestions:
• Table cloths -- if you have your own please bring them.
• Table skirting – will be provided for all brick vendors, but if you have your
own please bring them.
• Table covers -- for times when you will be away from
your table, a table cover such as a bed sheet or blanket is a good idea.
•
Signage -- a well-made sign may get you noticed faster.
• Vertical Displays --
if you have a way to display your wares upwards, please bring it along.
• Bags
for merchandise -- please provide your own bags for items you sell or trade. The
coordinator will have some on hand, also.
• Plenty of small bills and coins to
make change for your customers.
• Please plan your selling space to be as neat
and attractive as possible.
Remember that on Sunday, BrickFest will be hosting an exhibition for the general
public. This means several hundred more people who may be interested in what you
have to sell or trade. Each year the brick vendors do a large portion of their
business during this time.
Questions may be directed to the Brick Bazaar Coordinator or posted as a reply
to this announcement. Table Sign-up will be handled manually offline by Kevin
Salm. A confirmation email will be sent to all brick vendors.
