I'm strongly leaning towards making the trek to Little Wars this year. Am I right that the flea market sessions are limited to Thursday PM and Sunday AM? Obviously I'll be coming to game, but it would be great to get rid of some stuff and (hopefully) offset my costs! |

I talked with them about it. It's something like that, though during gaming hours you're allowed to sell stuff to Noble Knight. I'd talk to Noble Knight and make sure exactly how that works. Otherwise--well, for me it would have meant paying for an extra night, which puts a real dent in the take home for the flea market. Not so bad if you're a day tripper from the Chicago region. |

If you had to choose between the two days, which one gets better attendance? |

I did not attend Thursday, but Sunday had a single table in the flea market. |

I attended Thursday night last year there were about 15- or so Flea market tables I did not buy a thing which is quite remarkable for me. |

Last year for Little Wars 2025 we sold 18 tables for Thursday and 5 for Sunday. This was at a price of $25 USD per table, limited to two tables per member. This year we reduced the price to $20 USD per table, but still limited to two tables per member. The hours remain, Thursday 6 to 9 pm, Sunday 9 am to noon. Thursday has been the better attended day of the two. Noble Knight will be there Friday and Saturday this year. Please let me know if you have any questions, |

Any chance you could change Flea Market sessions to Friday or Saturday night…after the dealer hall closes? |

Perhaps in the future. That would be a good topic to bring up at the Sunday Morning-Open Board Meeting. |

This is my first time selling at a Flea Market, and I picked up two tables for Thursday night.
My observations from the last few years are:
1: Thursdays are more people, (buyers and sellers).
2: More variety of stuff.
3: Some of the tables last year were in areas that weren't well lit and some of the vendors weren't too happy about that.
It was the layout I guess. That was perhaps the biggest gripe I heard.
4: Sunday's was very quiet. Most buyers had blown their cash wads by then and those still cruising were looking for those "Make me an offer so I don't have to take it home" deals.
Plus vendors started breaking down around 11 on Sunday. As for me, I have a lot of board games, and some bundle deals on minis, RPG books, TCG/CCG games, and my prices are way better than some other dealers and online sellers.
Come buy my stuff and help me feed my cats and my wife…. |

I'd like to get first crack at offerings on Thursday, but I'll be running a game for the duration. |
