I Made It! Market Bike edition / bikeswap for bikefest
The I Made It! Market will be hosting a special market on saturday from noon to five at the Leslie park pool (4601 Butler) with bikes in mind. Vendors are encouraged to show their bike-related goods and they'll be hosting a bikeswap for parts, bikes and service as well. A portion of vendor proceeds will go to BikePGH.

Here are a couple of questions -
How much is it for a space at the bike swap? It doesn't say anything on the Facebook page, and neither does the Google doc that asks for a bunch of information without saying the only thing I need to know.
What exactly is a "low percentage of profits" and does it mean a percentage of profits or a percentage of gross sales? Does this also apply to the bike swap?
This is pretty confusing text: "For the BikeSwap, we are asking that you pay before hand to secure your spot. For the I Made It! Market, we will present you with a vendor contract, as in past markets, for a low percentage of the profits."

Here's some info that might help:
Check out www.imadeitmarket.com and under Apply there is a page for the swap and market.
For I Made It vendors, 20% of sales goes to I Made It/Bike PGH
For the swap, $20 to reserve the spot up front, but no percentage taken out afterwards. I'm not sure about how much space though.
Contact nina@imadeitmarket.com with any questions

For those who were interested in my bike-themed pottery, I'll have 10 new pieces available at the BikeFest swap, in addition to the 2 that I donated to the silent auction.
Mugs will be $35, serving bowls $50.
Check out the other pots in this Flickr set.
