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. Which YOU probably do since you're famous. ;) I bring a
MOC for display and for judging in hopes that I get some recognition for my
labor of love. If my MOC wins some competition, I usually get rewarded with
a prize that has some monetary value and bragging rights, which are IMO
priceless. I also bring MOCS to attract the public and other AFOLs. The
more attraction and the more money is brought in, the more door prizes and
other quirks can be distributed. Maybe not in the Organizer's first year,
but more so in years after unless the organizer has financial backers or
some other means to pay upfront costs 9that's more of a gamble).
Being from an event organizer background, I don't mind registering and
paying upfront. That lets the organizer(s) know about how many people to
expect for planning, and gives them a little upfront money for all the
hidden expenses like printing, design, deposits, etc, etc, etc.

I'd be disappointed that you'd skip out on an event just becuase you weren't
making a buck at it. If you want to make money at the event, register as a
seller and rent a table or booth to show your wares. That's what I'm going
to do.
