What is the consensus on a "Vendor Section" in our "Flea Market"?
I ask because I have a small, nondescript embroidery/graphic business to generate "gas money".
If I place an ad in the flea market selling a "custom hat or garment" I'm in violation of the "rules".
Save the flames... I'm asking a legitimate question:
[B]Would you welcome a "vendor section" in our "Flea Market"?[/B]
Sure, why not
But vendors should be required to financially contribute to the forum in some way, and should be offering reasonable discounts to members

Sure... Most buy ad space already...
As for discounts that would go w/o needing a requirement as evidenced by the bargains at the National Rallies...:brow

Will a guest be able to access it or is it for members only?

The folks behind the curtain(s) will have to hammer out who has access.
IE: Will a vendor have to be a member? I dunno... Perhaps as advertisers they'd get a "Pass to list" so to speak.
Or the vendor area would be "Public" but a member would need to present a MOA # to qualify for said discount.
Good Question.
I'm just askin' to see if it is in fact an interest to the members. Especially to small "concerns" such as myself. The weekend shoppe keeper.

I think it is a good idea too. I'm in my 15th year of doing this part time.
While exposure is good, I think given past problems it should remain for members only.
The Flea Market has always been member-only to protect the individuals from spammers, email mining, etc. The ON only goes to members although not to say that the magazine doesn't make it into other hands. Of course, the on-line ON is members-only.

Wrong word. Not Thee "Public"... I was thinking of the general membership. The Public being the "vendor" being allowed in... Or words to that effect. (Pre-Coffee) :hungover

I agree. We do this on I-BMW and it works well for the vendors and members.
Sounds like a good plan.
There's plan and then there's execution and control. :lurk
