Such polls are really useful for vendors who are considering the venues to do their businesses. Thanks!

just came back from there.

as i wasn't the one who contacted the person, i guess there was a small misunderstanding. I thought it was a eco kind of thing, but it came out to be more of a 2n hand flea market thing. mostly clothes and accessories. there are some rather innovative stuff there though, like a guy who was selling something like the old time mr potato head or the girl doing customised tees. Perhaps i was selling the wrong things, but i din managed to break even.

Crowd wise wasn't bad. they kept coming in batches durring the day. alot of families. some youngsters. organisation wise was good too. when we were there, the tables were up and numbles there. saw some1 moved thoug, not sure why. the sapcing was fine, lots of place for people to walk around. the org was quick to return the deposit at the end of the day too.

Hi mystech, if there is another fair of tis location, will you join again ? n wat will you be selling ?

at this place, at this price, maybe... but only if the concept changes. My items were mostly above 10+, while thoses beside me are selling cloths which are all under 10... as for selling, most likely accessories, as they were my main seller this time round.

hi Mystech what are you selling at there & where's your booth at?The flea market is really more suitable for selling 2nd hand stuffs,i went there sell all 1st hand stuffs are moving so slow most people just pass by see touch ask.They thought are all 2nd hands at there that they expect much cheaper & bargain for very low price.Some thinking is 2nd hands dont even dare to see/buy.Endup i got to keep telling customers that all are new.

Crowds there is but rainning almost the wholeday.Sales at almost cost prices yet could barely cover rental as buying power is slow.Sadly somehow i realise that the organiser is not being honest as there are some people looking for booth space at there for rent &got it at full rental price yet i was offer by the organiser to let go at half the rental price saying that IS the vendors that offer to take over at half the rental which later i realise was not true.On the day itself,my original booth space was occupy by another vendors which how could 2 vendors allocate to the same booth table?Which the organiser claim is the admin errors?

Which i was offer to take a lastmin rectangle table at the far end corner near the toilet?!As my display items needs a standard 3ftx3ft table & i know that vendor.He was easy-going & gentlemen enough to let me use my original booth space.

As originally i was looking for vendors to take over my booth space as i was sick yet when there i realise that there are people looking for booth to rent but cant find space & was charge at full rental when i was offers to let go at half rental price by the organiser??!& on the day 2 vendors was allocated to the same booth when the other vendor actually book last minute?So we can guess roughly why such things as 2 vendors allocate to the same booth could happen?

Lucky i didnt take the offer to let go at half rental space if not i will have make a big lost gana cheated & boiling hot now!Regarding of whether will i take marina barrage again or taking event thru the same organisers i will reconsidered & think twice about it.
