Dear Prospective Dealer:
The Dealers Room is a highlight for many attendees of the Yankee Gathering. Over the years, our attendees have come to expect quality items with a collectible and/or historical value. A few examples being: out-of-print books or periodicals; antique apparatus, magic effects long off the market, or other unique magic items; biographical material or pieces associated with magicians of the past (posters, tokens, etc.).
Now that we have moved to a new venue, we have a much larger room to house our dealers. All dealers will be in one room with space for more larger booths, if needed. We have also lowered the booth prices but please note that the number and variety of dealer booths may still be somewhat limited by available tables, etc. If you definitely want a booth, we recommend making payment as soon as possible as no booths can be held until full payment is received. Please be sure to look over the Terms and Conditions before completing your registration. Should you choose to pay via PayPal, please include details of your requirements in the “add a note” section.
We are here to ensure the Yankee Gathering is a great experience for you as a dealer. Please send any questions or suggestions to us at dealers@nemca.com.
Sincerely,
Steve Rogers & Jim Zoldak
Complete the following form and arrange payment to reserve a dealer’s booth.
Booth Configurations
1. Single Booth, $125. This consists of two (2), six-foot tables arranged one behind the other with the space between them being reserved for the booth personnel. This arrangement is ideal for having items that can be inspected on the front table and others displayed on the back table under your control.
2. Double Booth, $200. This is the same layout as the Single Booth, except that each of the front and back areas is made up of two (2), 6-foot tables together for 12 feet of table length. Note that the rear tables are 6′ x 1.5′. The rear tables can also have a half-width table (8 feet in length) placed on top them to provide some display height.
3. Expanded U, $250. This consists of four (4), six-foot tables arranged in a “U” shape allowing customers to walk into the booth area. There are two, six-foot tables in the back with one, six-foot table on each side. An additional six-foot table is available for the front of the booth, if desired, at no additional charge. This arrangement is ideal for those vendors whose items may be inspected and handled, such as books, magazines, or bins of other small items.
