I want to thank everyone who came for their support. It sure was a long day!


Highlights of the day:

I got rid of my Star Wars Escape from the Death Star boardgame... ;D

And I got myself a very cool handmade tri-dimensional Cobra Logo in a trade.

And I found a Mercer for 2$. Very cool.


Downsides of the day:

Not worth mentionning but hey, no day needs to be perfect  :wink:.

It was great seeing you again, man.  Hope I didn't come off sounding like a cheap jerk!  :lol:  Thanks for the Julia - she's standing with Faye, Ein, and Spike right now.  Til the next con, see you, Space Cowboy!

Knowing is half the battle. Actually fighting is the other half.
Help Cobra take over the Cayman Islands!

But seriously I could tell you so much about the entire day on what really bothered me ( again, not you  ;D ) but like I said it's not worth to ponder on the negative side of the details, it's just best to turn the page. I'm still glad that you stopped by my table, that's what I meant by support, it's not about the buying part.

I was glad seeing you man. That's one of the highlights that I forgot mentionning  ;D. We didn't talk much this time but you also seemed like you had limited time and a heavy program ahead, so I didn't hold you back either. Plus, we do more chatting on this thread to catch up  :wink:.

For the last 18 years, every toy show or convention I've done, there has ALWAYS been someone that has offered a stupid-low price on something.

Customer : "How much is that Skystriker?"
Me : "$50.00, it's complete with both parachutes."
Customer: "Will you take $10.00?"
Me: "Sorry, I can't do any less than $45.00"
Customer: "How about $15.00?"

Yep, got a few of those yesterday which are the most classic.

But I also got some people who literally told me off...and for no good reason.

Customer: "How much is the Wing 0 Gundam figure?
Me: "that one is not for sale as it's on display only (no price tag), but If you want I have other Gundams in the bin over there at 10 bucks each."
Customer: "Nah, I'm just looking around out of Nostalgia"
Me in my head: "Then why ask for the price in the first place dammit!"

 :P Oh well...they'll be back.
