Providing extra tables for people that didn't buy tables to set up gets to be a sticky situation as well. Not sure how the Ohio swaps deal with them...but seems like some guys may just bring in a ton of stuff and camp out, thus avoiding the expense of a "real" table?
That's funny that the guy switched them - but now that you mentioned what you did it made sense in the beginning
It is tough with the tables thing. The guys bringing a ton of stuff don't camp out. What I've seen happen is various levels, basically if you're setting up a tank, you pay one rate (these are usually all called vendors), and those who just want space another rate (usually cheaper because they aren't using electricity, etc.). Any number of levels could work, except if you had too many. Honestly, this was the first swap that I didn't buy a table partly because I didn't want to pay the same amount to have a spot to park my stuff as the guy who has a huge set-up going with lights and everything else. Also, I only had a few things, so I figured there would be first-come, first-serve type tables to park. Usually other swaps have first come type tables. Again, not a criticism at all - I know space was an issue - these are just suggestions.
