That is a very tough question--I had an experience at Oasis 6 where I was COMPLETELY devoid of info about vendors & selling..we brought a few things down--just some monkeypod dishes I paint & a larger flat carving...found out when we got there that selling w/o sanction was a MAJOR faux pas becuz the booth vendors HAVE paid to hawk their wares & its kinda uncool to try to snag biz out of their hands. That said, the stuff I brought was COMPLETELY different than anything there & posed no threat to anyones livelyhood--I knew Otto was interested so he bought one & I managed to sell a torch set I had to some folks just milling around but , to try to sell a few things, I talked to some guys that did an inside area & they offered to display the things I brought for a cut in the proceeds; none of 'em sold but I learned my lesson. Because what I have is small spacewise, I will try to team up with some next year & share a booth; if you are there to sell, you probably should booth it; it benefits the event hosts & you should be able to at least pay for your stay there; plus the vendors are really fun peoples!!
