I've been to both IMAC and 2 MACNA's. I guarantee it is nothing like Palooza and CFM. We really don't know how good we got it here folks. These local events are in our back yard and are a fraction of what the others cost. Not including your hotel and transportation. Don't get me wrong there are speakers, vendors and great raffles. But for Corals, you can't go wrong here. I got my 2 booths already:lol:

Laverda:
I'd say leave the selling to individuals. If you get saddled with extra duties and responsibilities re the common area, you have no one to blame but yourself, so no complaining. If I take a turn at man-ing the common area, I will not be selling anyone's corals on their behalf. I'd suggest all containers and bags be clearly marked with owners name.
EJOCam: glad you are signed on. SCMAS is honored to be associated with a vendor of your caliber and fine taste in beverage.

Steve,
You sold about 10 corals for me last year. I sold about 4 corals for other people. It works pretty well as long as everyone is taking a shift at the booth. A commission fee is fine.
I thought about getting a small booth, but most of the corals I will be selling are inexpensive newb corals, and I don't think I will net more than $100 for the day.

Thanks for the reply Kevin. How can I pay for a booth? Will you guys take Paypal? Also, how would we choose the booth location, is the priority based on the order that you pay? Sorry for the questions

Hi, no need to apologize...that's what this thread of for.
We are currently taking reservations/payments/booth assignments/etc. for the commercial vendors (for large booths on the outter perimeter/walls of the building), but we haven't finalized the details for the hobbyist booths yet. To keep costs down, it will most likely be more of a "grid area" than booths, where Hobbyists can then provide their own table and chairs. (and probably first-to-show-first-to-setup) This will be the cheapest category of course.
We will probably have a "mid-tier" category for live-stock vendors who wish for us to provide dividers, table & chairs, little more room, pre-reserved spot, etc. We already have two pre-paid vendors in this category, so it will probably be made official.
But that is still in the works.
We don't have Paypal capabilities yet, but that may change

Alright Everyone,
Booth prices for RAP 2007 are as follows:
but first, please let me explain that this only applies for these first few weeks. This is merely an incentive to get people to book early, and is in no-way a binding contractual agreement. We have not completed our cost structure for the entire event, so when that is done and booths start to fill up, we reserve the right to increase fees accordingly. In other words, booking your booth "now" locks you in at this quote, but do not assume we will honor these prices when you book a month later.
Tier 1
10' x 10' Premium booth - $250 (commercial vendors, large sellers, multi-renters, etc. upto 3 vendors Max.)
(Includes table and 2 chairs)
We are taking full reservations and your choice of spot on these
Tier 2
10' x 5' Regular booth - $125 (livestock vendors, multi-renters, etc. includes table and 1 chair, upto 2 vendors Max.)
We are taking full reservations and an approximate location on these.
Tier 3
Small "Grid area" - $25 (for very small hobbyists/non-vendors)
You must provide your own table and chair (unless we get a killer deal on the rentals somehow)
Reservations will NOT be taken on these at this time
These will likely be "first-to-arrive-first-to-setup" the day of the event.
Entrance Fee:
Only $5 per adult and Free for children 12 and under
(We did this to encourage family participation)
Again, this plan is only tentative as we still have to get floorplan approval from the OCFEC.
You may contact me either through PM or directly at:

thank you
