Convention Poll

[Lord_Zed]

We would of course need to devise a system of tracking people's toys and sellers would need to either remain at the convention by closing time to collect money made from their sales or leave details so that funds can be sent/transferred to them. I think we would require anyone interested in selling toys to register first, then we can allocate each seller an ID number or something. Every toy has to be bagged (just like at Sky Shadow's Parra stall!) and each bag will then have a seller ID number on it. Part of the registration includes providing me with a comprehensive list of toys that they want to sell, so that I can tick it off as they are sold.

Now, hopefully we can get enough donations to fund the stall, but if it's a bit under I might charge sellers a fee to help pay for the stall hire.

The method of tracking peoples sale items you've outline is pretty much what my wargaming club uses for thier "Bring and Buy" Each seller is responisble for filling out a list of thier items and coding each item, so that the person running the store just has to collect the money and tick the item of the form (stored alphabeticly in an acordian file)when and if it's sold. The club takes 5% of all sales to for thier trouble, the minimum price on any item is $5.

I'm not sure about how to raise the funds for a stall though, it doesn't seem like it would pay for itself as a sale stall alone. And beyond functioning as a sort of swap meet I'm not sure of what the overall goal of the stall would be.

I was going to redirect the funds to help pay for the stall, but if you really want your donation back then PM me and I'll make arrangements.
