BC/EFA Broadway Flea Market and Grand Auction 2014

[gleek4114]

I agree that buying OCR's are a must for the flea market. Las year I got Women on the Verge, Motown (still in shrink wrap), and a tony voters Hands On a Hardbody promo CD. But the funny thing was that it had like 16 songs on it so it is almost the whole cast recording. I got all 3 for $10.

I have been the past 2 years, and it is my favorite day every year. I look forward to it extremely throughout the year. For those who have gone in the past, I saw last year they had cute bears dressed up like the characters from different shows (Fairy Godmother in Cinderella, Leading Player in Pippin, etc). I was wondering how much they ended up being in the end. I'd love to look at them this year, but not for very high prices.

I think the Trunchbull bear from Matilda went for $800. Don't know any of the others though.

Carrie St. Louis has announced that she and Constantine Maroulis will be at the Autograph Table/Photo Booth during the 1-2 hour. Maybe the full list will be announced soon!

[gstrus2]

Last year the list was announced about 2 weeks prior to the event, and two weeks till the event is this coming Sunday, so I'd expect an announcement later this week/early next week with a bunch of the names.

They have the bears as characters every year.

Judging by her latest Facebook poem, Alice Ripley will be doing the Autograph Line/Photo Booth. I think I recall her announcing it earlier last year, but ended up backing out due to Carrie in Seattle.

Yay

Littleshopofcarrie - you are 100 percent correct!

Thanx TheaterLover2. Annual PSA: don't get caught up in bidding during the pre-auction, or even the silent auction day of. All you're doing is running up your price. Even though this is a silent auction where you write down bids, when they pick up the clipboards, they then live-auction off the item right then. BCEFA staff/volunteers sometimes will bid on behalf of people online/on the phone, plus you have folks in the crowd...the price can sometimes skyrocket from the last bid on the sheet. If there are only one or two people who have bid on the sheet, however, it is not unusual for them to move on to the next item fairly quickly so you have to pay close attention if there is something you really want.
