#150Auction Questions for the Flea Market
Posted: 9/24/09 at 12:46pm

I've created a text only list for the photo booth/autograph table. I know there are people who like to print it out and having the photos makes it harder and uses more paper. I like to use it to help me budget myself for the day.

I encourage people to not be shy about asking for pairings in the photo booth. They prefer you to offer what they charge for the special booths ($40) - at least that's what I was told last year. There are costars in the same slots throughout the day so go ahead and ask for them together. I asked for Kerry Butler and Tony Roberts together last year. Someone heard me and said they wanted them too and soon there was a whole line of people who wanted them.

I wonder if they're not having special group booths this year. Nothing's been announced.

Thanks, Eris! The BC/EFA website has Kate Baldwin listed for the 3-3:50 table, though. I remember because that was the table with the mot people I liked.

I found it very weird that they put J Robert and Alice in different time slots. You'd think that might be a pairing people would want to request.

Thanks trombonist! I'll have to see which makes sense-I'm hoping since it is still in previews and it being both the flea market and the Jewish new year-there might be a good amount of tickets available. It's tricky since it is a new theater-is anyone familiar with the seating plan of the Henry Miller since Birdie is the first show in there?

I added Anthony, Julie, and Brian to my list. Do you have a time for Will and Gavin. I'm guess they'll be a packaged deal

I think I discovered the issue. If you click on the link above the photo it takes you to the page that I linked to. If you click on the link under the photo it takes you to the page givesmevoice linked to. I believe mine is an old one they never bothered to update and the second is the correct one. I'll update my list a little later.

They must have changed things around for the celebrity tables. I remember Javier Munoz originally was scheduled for the 11am table. I'm thinking of just buying the poster I have hears about here and getting everyone to sign it. I don't know why, but I feel like I would feel bad going through the line and skipping people. At least the poster wouldn't be awkward like if I brought something for someone, but not another person.

When you buy the poster for $20 is that for the poster and the signatures or is it just for the poster?

The poster is $20 and the table is $25 per hour. So if you went through the line all of the hours it would be $25x5=$125. With the poster it would be $135

Hey guys (:
So this is my first year going to the auction and I am SO excited. I just have a few questions...
1) How much money would you recommend bringing?
2) How much are the items usually at the show booths?
Thanks!

#165Auction Questions for the Flea Market
Posted: 9/24/09 at 7:18pm

1) Bring as much money as you are willing to spend. If you only want to spend $10, bring $10. If you want to spend $300, bring that.
2) Anywhere from $1 all the way up to several hundred, depending on the item.

I would only add to 1) that if you definitely have a limit and have sometimes trouble sticking to it, LEAVE THE PLASTIC AT HOME! Bringing only what you want to spend in cash is definitely the better way to go.

(I know on here someone talked about writing it off taxes, but if I'm not mistaken (or unless the tax laws have changed) money used for purchases does NOT count as a donation for deduction purposes. That's why things like NYMF where you do receive some goods/services in exchange for your donation clearly state that only a portion of your donation can be used as a deduction, and that's the portion above what the goods/services cost. I'm not saying it's not a good cause ~ BC/EFA is DEFINITELY a FANTASTIC cause - but I'm just saying be careful. You don't want to write off several hundred dollars of purchases and then be audited and have it come back to bite you in the butt.

Do you have to pay $25 to go through the line and then an extra $10 to take a picture with someone ?

Posted: 9/24/09 at 10:28pm

You don't have to do the photo booth and the autograph line so it's not really an extra $10. There's the photo booth and the autograph table. All of the people slated for a particular time are seated at the table and are then pulled away from the table to go to the photo booth a few at a time. If no one at the photo booth requests a particular person then they are not pulled from the autograph table. The autograph table is $25 for the whole table and the photo booth is $10 per picture.

If you're in the autograph line and someone you want your picture taken with is pulled away just tell a volunteer and they will save your spot.

Personally, I opt to only hang at the photo booth and forget the table

No, you don't have to do both. I thought alxcrz2 was asking if you did want to do both if you had to pay for both. If you only want the photo booth, it's $10 for every picture unless someone or a group are going for more, then it's that amount. Yes, PER PICTURE. If you only want the autograph table line, it's $25 each hour you do it. That allows you to get I believe 2 things signed by each person on line...but NO photos can be taken on the table line.

But if you want to do the table AND a picture, it's $25/hour for the table and $10/picture (again, unless it's someone special or a grouping).

Unless they've changed it, the photos usually come in a little folded card that the person in the booth can/does sign. Unless that was only the special booth a couple of years ago.

is anyone familiar with the seating plan of the Henry Miller since Birdie is the first show in there?

Roughly 700 seats in the orchestra and 300-400 in the mezz. They did a great job, there really isn't a bad seat in the house. You can see everything perfectly from every seat and even the very last row of the mezz feels really close to the stage. I love it.

You don't get the white card if you use your own camera. They are only given to people who use the Polaroids BC/EFA provides.

The thing is the Dutch company that made the film stopped production last year and the company that bought the machinery and the rights doesn't start producing the film until next year. Will there be polaroids available this year?
