Mickey7 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Thanks jsilverjanet and Bomber-Bob for the responses. I just wasn't sure if Thursday was more of a "starting to set up" kind of day for the dealers. Looks like I'll be heading there tonight. mysterio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWatcher Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 It was a blast to see a ton of boardies at the show, and spend time chatting with them. Thursday was surprisingly well attend, and they were eager to spend money mysterio and 1Cool 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If guys like Greggy and Hector are buying all day Wednesday and Thursday it will be slim pickings by even Friday. Happy hunting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw what people purchased before I even showed up and still brought about 2 short boxes full. i left a lot behind because I didn’t want to carry it and more importantly ran out of money TheWatcher, mysterio and ComicConnoisseur 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 6 hour drive each way is a bit too far for me to not be in during set up. Maybe next year I'll have some extra vacation days I can burn and go check this one out again.

Prices tend to match the quality of the material, especially the high end stuff, but there's plenty of other books that aren't early Actions or Schomburg Timelys. That been said, I know someone that was looking for a GSX 1 and couldn't find a dealer with a copy at the show Edited August 24, 2018 by TheWatcher Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manetteska Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 General Q: At large, multi-day shows like this, what % of dealers re-stock (or bring the inventory to re-stock) from one day to the next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
