  Re: BrickWorld 2007 - who's getting paid?
 
(...) I don't have any affiliation with BrickWorld. I'm not even attending, since, well, I don't make enough profit of my own to afford the travel.

What I was saying is that they are not obligated to share that information with anyone. If (...) (18 years ago, 15-Mar-07, to lugnet.events.brickworld, FTX)
 
  Re: BrickWorld 2007 - who's getting paid?
 
(...) I don't think "bringing a MOC" is a valid argument for being a volunteer unless you have a following of people who and pay to get into events purely to see YOUR art.

  Re: BrickWorld 2007 - who's getting paid?
 
(...) You missunderstand me, I think. I wouldn't be skipping out because I'm not making a buck. I'm not interested in going to an event to make money, I do it because I love building with LEGO. I would skip out on an event if others were making a (...) (18 years ago, 15-Mar-07, to lugnet.events.brickworld)

(...) In the UK train shows (in my experience) are run by clubs, rather than companies set up to running shows as some seem to be in US (correct me if I am wrong). Yes, they are for profit (or at least that the aim!), the profit goes to help offset (...) (18 years ago, 16-Mar-07, to lugnet.events.brickworld, FTX)
