[QUOTE="Seattlite86, post: 3603591, member: 59737"]More advice as I’m thinking about what’s I would do: Do a test layout at home before you go. If time permits, make an inventory organized based on the layout. Leave space to do regular inventory checks and/or write how much you sold it for. This will help you track your sales and do inventories at the show. Rehearse your inventory process. Have someone remove a few items from your layout, once it’s set up, and see if you can identify it right away. Any time you have down time, you should be confirming inventory, calculating what you can afford to buy/sell in your next deal. Know what your bare minimum price for sales will be and haggle down towards it slowly as needed. Make a poster advertising your intent and attract attention. Cash on hand will be important to provide change, or to make purchases. Make sure you have a method to quick count it and pull money from it. Use a fanny pack (if you have one) or something like a backpack. Keep it locked with a small lock (if you have one, you should). If you use a backpack, wrap the carrying strap around your leg and leave it on the ground, or wear it on your back. You’ll feel someone trying to steal your Fanny pack or backpack. You won’t feel someone swiping your metal cash box while you help a customer. Have a security plan for theft (see what/if the show hasn’t anything in place). Know the doorman and have his number on speed dial. If you’re not going to display everything at once, have a secure storage plan for those items.[/QUOTE]
