selling item at rabbit show?

[mistyjr]

This may sound stupid or dumb. But I was up at 5 am wondering about this.
My Mother In law makes these toilet paper people at craft shows. And they sell pretty good here in Michigan. I like them my self. Anyways I was wondering If I get her to make some bunny toilet paper holders. (They are about 3ft tall. They are made of wood, They hold a roll of toilet paper in front. And can store some in back. She makes them as cowboys, hillbillies, army guys, any football team,ect ect)
It's to explain what they look like... But people love them around here and they are cute. But I was wondering to make some at the shows. I can make them as "cowboy rabbits, ect ect"... She also makes boards like to hang coats,ect. But Im not worried about that.

If yes, What color rabbits would be best?

So the question is "Yes or No"? Good Ideal ??, Colors of Rabbits??

You could try it.

I am more likely to spend my money on cages, carriers, or rabbit supplies at a show though. So it's not something that I personally would be likely to buy at a show.

The shows I go to have vendors that have all sorts of things. If you want you can sell them. People will buy them. If they spend money on the raffles, and on bunny stuff, trust me they will love the bunnies you sell!!!

You might want to check first with the shows you're planning on attending and see what the fee is to be a vendor. That might help you decide if it is worth taking them to sell...

Maybe not so much color as breed. Try to cater to the different breeds. ^_~

Thats a good idea. But I have seen people sell rabbits and items without being set up as a vendor.

Yes, people can sometimes sell things without being a vendor...

But a lot of shows have seem to caught on, and now most things can't be sold without setting up a vendor's table. (Like you can't sell a used carrying cage or used cages or such.)

lol We have one that is a bear in our downstairs bathroom.

It's so cute

Hmm,

Yeah, I have a cat one that we have downstairs but my mother in law didnt made that.. My son loved it, so yeah

 

[Lishka]

Hmmm, the shows around here people can sell used carriers and cages, and all kinds of stuff without setting up as a vendor.. however if they are selling simply as a vendor and not showing, they have to sign up as a vendor.

Thank,

Some shows have rules regulating vendors and others are simply too crowded to allow people to set up any type of tables or don't want other vendors competing with their fund raising raffles. Most shows don't have any problem with selling items.

Large conventions generally require that vendorsreserve and pay fora space.

It's always a good idea to ask in advance.
