I'm thinking about having a booth at a local craft fair in October. It's a 10x10 booth and the price is $50. If I want to borrow their tables, it's $10 per table. My husband thinks $50 is alot for a booth and pointed out I would have to sell quite a bit to make a profit with that kind of overhead. However, since things aren't really selling on artfire, I figure it's worth a shot to try and sell some things. Is $50 a reasonable price for the space and is it worth it to pay for their tables? I don't have any tables of my own but a friend says she has a couple which fold in the middle that I could borrow. I'm just trying to think of how much of a pain it will be to carry everything in.
Thanks for your suggestions! :)

I think it depends on what you're selling, and are there any "hot" items that might turn you a quick profit. And, are they doing a lot of advertising, so there'll be lots of foot traffic. The more traffic there is, the better your sales will be. Also, location of your booth; do you get to choose?

There is quite a bit of foot traffic at the show, I've attended it the last few years as a customer. This would be my first show. There is a fair amount of advertising. But no, I don't get to select my booth. They assign them. I can make a request but not sure what to request.
