I've never seen "cheap-looking" or knockoff figurines being sold at Nomi, and pretty much every returning seller I've seen previous DOES bring new stuff with what they didn't sell already.

5) Once you get a "table letter" with your table number, then if you want to add, remove, or change a seller at your table please just email me. However, please wait until next week, right now I'm still sending out the rest of the email. Hi Chris, just curious, Can our secondary Sellers start posting under the table Number this week? (Dont want to send you emails now in regards to adding secondary seller/helpers but I want to make sure we arent breaking any rules here before posting)

I'd like take a moment and address comments about the lottery system, and selected sellers.
While some people are understandably upset at not getting selected this year we've always offered an equal chance for people, both new and returning, to get a table. From this new lottery system 2/3 of all the people who applied were selected. (Including both the first and last person who applied, although that wasn't by design)
Additionally, while we do encourage all sellers to use and post on these forums, not everyone does. Some sellers never post here. So please do not rely the limited data available on this site to draw any conclusions that one group or type of seller was preferred over another.
This year we employed a random system and 2/3 of all the people who asked for one, got a table. Therefore, 2/3 of the returning sellers got a table again.

Yes.
Once you receive your table number you, or any seller in your group, may post a selling list using that number.

I've never seen "cheap-looking" or knockoff figurines being sold at Nomi Ehhhhh, I've definitely caught some people selling bootleg figures and keychains, though when I told them in PM, most of those sellers simply weren't aware and graciously took the items down (there's one from several years ago who I will not name that continued to sell the bootlegs after I told them about it, but I consider them an exception). I've also bought a couple unknowingly myself and didn't realize until later, which goes to show that not everyone's perfect but you should always do your due diligence in research.

Just wondering if there are 2 waiting lists? One for a half table and one for a whole table? I k ow I applied for a full table but would happily take a half table if that became an option. But there wasnt a way of communicating g that was there?
Hope that's not a silly question

they consistently leave Nomi with enough stuff to try and sell the next year. (whispers) that's a sign that no one is buying it/wants it...
Either that or they consistently are replenishing their stock by buying new things for the sake of flipping/reselling at nomi. -- I agree with f-bunnys though. (lol does the board not have a username filter) Me nether but my time has come to change my name lol and i agree i keep seeing the same faces with the same stuff. So i'm excited to see new things and people

(ಥ﹏ಥ) goes to show how bad my compulsive spending was trying to konmari this poop away man but yeah between the both of us, my boyfriend & i have a lot of lolita & games which sell for a lot despite small space (some of his stuff he's collected for over 10+ years! he worked at a game store when he was in HS). i'm making my list right now and i'm already like oh man no wonder these things didnt' sell last year lol... As someone who's into the BJD hobby, I definitely understand small items can still be worth a ton, but to consistently make this kind of money is just.... mind blowing LOL. I did my clearout at Nomi and then got a lot choosier about what I bought... I still have impulse buys but I just sell stuff online now as it's a lot easier than hoarding for a year LOL. Maybe in the future the space for Nomi will expand and there will be more room for sellers... I mean, looking at the acceptance rate it was not bad overall! Nomi is my fav event and I hope to see it keep growing. Just out of curiosity, when you say you 'sell stuff online now', which website do you use? I've been looking to other sources to de-hoard but hasn't found a reliable one yet. Thanks!

I haven't received my table number yet, and my application ID is on the list. Are e-mails still being sent out?

But even if I get my email between now and tomorrow at noon, there's no way I can justify making my post because exams -.-

Okay, was just wondering since it seems others have gotten their tables already, but seeing you two comment, I see that not everyone has gotten their e-mail yet.

Do we have any idea when the table map might be available? I know it's super busy right now figuring stuff out.

I imagine it's the same as 2018 and 2017, since the staff tables are in the same location. The map is still linked in the 2018 info thread if you need a reference: teahousemaplemoon.proboards.com/thread/3454/nominoichi-event-informationSpecific section sizes might have changed depending on how many people applied/got those respective tables.

I'm working on an updated map. It should be available soon.
I've also finished assigning all the tables and I've sent out all the email to the sellers, the stand-by, and everyone else got a "sorry, try again" message. If you completed the application process then you should have received an email by now.
The biggest slowdown was the free mail-merge software I used only allowed 50 emails per day, but that was to 50 addresses, not 50 seperate emails. (It's already on the list of things to change for next year.)
