ZjQcmQRYFpfptBannerEnd Justin, I was Consignment manager this year, and am interested in what you have to add to your concerns. Shoplifting and other shrinkage have always been a concern in this venue, just like any retail establishment, for all the years it has existed. Bigger and better Consignment venues, like we had at our disposal this year, do make the issue more challenging. Feel free to continue to email me directly if you wish to discuss your concerns even further.

Someone walked off with a Tandy 100 I had for sale as part of a lot of portables. I would consider a change where smaller items are on a shelf behind the staff or recommend air tags to consigners. In the same vein, one item I would consign (or have VCF sell) is those 3 prong power cords because 80% of the stuff for sale seemed to need one.

ZjQcmQRYFpfptBannerEnd Let me be the first to say that the show was an improvement over the last shows, even though it did rain on the parade. Food was definitely an improvement over previous events and I hope the vendor will continue to be at VCF East and maybe the Swapmeet! Having Consignment in the Large building was a great improvement as well, even though there seems to be no way around the long lines in and checkout. Consider this: Having a Swapmeet in the same space as the consignment. Not during VCF East, but at multiple times during the year. Yes, it is much smaller than outdoor space but it will allow you to have it more times during the year and the weather issue is minimal. I also realize loading and unloading probably is an issue, but please consider the suggestion. Mike Rosen Sent from: My extremely complicated, hand held electronic device.
