La Pen Show

[junopens]

I am going first time to the LA pen show next month.

I would like to sell pens in original boxes.

Do you have any practical tips and recommendations for me?

Did you pay for a table?

If not, it might be too late at this point.

I did not. I have several pens in boxes and not very familiar with the value.

I was wondering if I can sell during the first few days Thu-Sat.

 

How effective are the boxes (they are nice) compared with having the pens in a pen binder?

Contact the show, and see if you can still rent a table.

No table = cannot sell.

 

As for the boxes, it depends on the specific pen. Some pens will command a better price with the box, others, not so much if at all.

I am curious about this. Reading the description if you are registered as a trader you can sell pens if you can get a half table in the ballroom (as available) for the first few days. You do not need to be registered as an exhibitor.

 

But I would double check with the show management about that.

[ac12]

Ah yes, shows treat the seller vs. trader differently. So as zwack said, contact the show people, to find out.

Thank you all. I am doing exactly that, contacting the show organizer.
