Seeker > 620 KC Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 I love these events and sell at Eagle Rock regularly. (Was really bummed to miss the last one due to a serious back injury. I was hoping to get up to the Mantecca meet some time to sell, but think that dream is not going to happen. Maybe to shop some time!) I've always dreamed there could be a spring\ summer circuit where you could go on vacation from So Cal to WA or vice versa, vacationing, junky yard picking, and hitting one Datto event to the next. Kinda like following the Greatful Dead tour! :angel: Start In Canada or WA for what goes on then Canby & Blue Lake, go south to Nor Cal, then on to the Grand Canyon event, then to So Cal. I think the dates are already out of sync for that though. I'm from So Cal where you get charged for everything, and you can't rent a public space or have an event without some kind of liability... Some things you might want to consider to eliminate some trial and error... If you're not going to have "a car show" or at least a corral where folks can pay a couple dollars to park their cars in a safer area near the swap meet, where people of "like minds" could watch for people stealing emblems or parts off their cars... And you're going to gamble on 5 vendors to start off with... Who are you going to sell parts to if everyone is there to sell? And how are you going to pay for the lot rent &/or insurance? Maybe take a look at what makes the ER & Canby events such a success to get some ideas? ER: Multiple Freeway access to many metropolitan areas ER & Canby: away from residential areas where early morning trailer and parking noise isn't disturbing residents Revenue from datto car parking (aka coral,) huge social component for brainstorming, learning, making the event pay for itself. ER doesn't do contest/ trophys and it survives just fine. Maybe do a simple raffle vs. trophys? But make it from paid admissions instead of selling tickets? Pull a license plate number from a hat? Trade a vendor a prize donation vs. paying for his selling space to keep start-ups costs down? etc, etc? Just brain storming. Hope it helps? 4 Quote Link to comment

KoHeartsGPA Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Actually, Canby is right across from residential neighborhood, but its a one of a kind show done inside the fairgrounds. Quote Link to comment
Seeker > 620 KC Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Actually, Canby is right across from residential neighborhood, but its a one of a kind show done inside the fairgrounds. You're absolutely right, but there's enough distance to the homes to give a distance barrier for the sound to dissipate some between the two. And I would hope they would have enough experience to know, if you move in next to a fairgrounds you're gonna have periodic event noise. In So Cal homes and businesses are a lot closer together. My point is don't hold an early AM event in a school parking lot or strip mall in close quarters to homes, and then get Pissed Off when cops arrive with noise complaints from the neighboring residents. This same good planning is what makes breweries so successful. The start ups breweries often open in industrial parks. There operating hours are the opposite of the daily businesses... they can have musiic, loud crowds noise, and have lots of avail parking... because the neighboring businesses are closed and there are no homes nearby. Loud mufflers, guys lighting up the tires, revving engines... no problem! 1 Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 If I didn't have anything to sell, I'll let people dick Dolomites anal for a dollar. Frank needs to wash up before the big show :) I would be down for parts selling Quote Link to comment
