Not sure about the whole parking lot deal, but it takes away from the dealers who actually pay for tables to be there, so I don't think it will be looked favourably upon.

Selling at the meet without having a table is prohibited.

We can't police the parking lots, so I have no say in what happens there.
Should dealers complain, then you'll have to leave the property to complete your deals. This event isn't being run so someone can "cash in" outside of the event.
I originally had no problems with things happening in the parking lot. But now that I see Stealth's post, I DO have a problem with people circumventing the Joe Meet and taking potential money away from dealers.

You could compare this to setting up shop outside of any other business or event and doing the same thing - it doesn't make any sense. Why not do the same thing outside ToysRus? Or outside silver snail?

In light of this, I wish to give up the one case you put aside for me and will take my chances by acquiring it at the Joe Meet. Thanks anyway shdwknt but now that I realize that the others do have a point, not only I`d like to forget about the case but I recommend that you forget about bringing them to the show unless you probably trade them for something you wish to have or unless you're willing to answer to dealers who might get upset by the fact that you would be selling outside the Meet. However will the dealers have a problem with trading too if it stops them from cashing in on the sales of Target Exclusives as well? I really don't know how far we can go but the folks at Joecanuck probably will have an answer soon...
Thanks anyway, I don't doubt that you probably meant well, but it is true that this whole business, sould it take place, would be unfair and contrary to the purpose of this event.

At first I had no problem with you meeting people in the parking lot, but now I'd just as much rather you not attend if your sole purpose is to make money without paying dues to the Joe Meet. Tables for the event are sold out, and were available for a LONG time.
It's unfair to the dealers (as I said) that paid a price to set up and sell at the Joe Meet. If this was one item out of your collection, I honestly wouldn't care. But you're entire purpose for attending the Joe Meet seems to be so you can make money and sell these cases.
Therefore, I've asked some of the people that were/are supposed to get cases from you, to keep me informed of where you sell your cases. I'd rather it not take place on the hotel property at all - UNLESS it is after the Joe Meet when the dealers are done for the day.
If you seriously have a problem with this, then please don't attend and place your items on ebay.
Thank you.
I don't see any further reason to have this thread open any longer.
