Please be wary of a promoter of Bargainmania in or around Columbus OH.  Teresa Felix may have just goofed, but honest mistake or no, her blunder cost many respectable vendors an significant opportunity to earn during one of the most important shopping holidays of the year.  How can we vendors protect our fellow vendors from repeating this error?

Hundreds of vendors were impacted by this and left wondering how this can be avoided in the future which already seem gloomy?  How can we protect ourselves?  Please advise.  Thank you.

Sincerely,  Embarrassed & Hurt

I am so sorry that happened to you.  I experienced something like that once myself.  I would really like to know if there are any keys that
tell you when a promoter has done their job or not.  Some are just using the vendors for income and leave it to chance whether they get a
crowd.  Its really sad and selfish.
