Funnybooks Posted December 10, 2021 Author Share Posted December 10, 2021 (edited) Posting on behalf of friend who is organizing The Collector's Summit... Origin Story: Our Origin Story Hey Everyone! For those who don't know me, I'm Nathan, the face behind Kihei Collectibles & The Collectors Room Discord Server. I am a long-time collector of many odds & ends. For years, I have been looking for a way to benefit a community who has provided me with so much as well as supported my passion for collecting. After attending multiple conventions, I grew tired of sifting through a sea of cosplayers, tire-kickers, and waiting in long entry lines which resulted in me moving the majority of purchasing & selling online. While I enjoy the online community, I also enjoy the social aspect of a convention and the opportunities to dig through boxes upon boxes of amazing material. I searched for a way to elevate the convention experience to cater to serious collectors and provide a more focused event for dealers and vendors. For too long conventions have become congested by trying to appeal to hundreds of different fandoms resulting in convention floors being overwhelming and flooded with cosplayers, as well as the dealer experience being tainted with tire-kickers wasting their time. Collector's Summit is bringing the focus back on the collector by removing the distractions and filler content. We are gathering private collectors & dealers under one roof to provide them with two days of a high quality marketplace, worthwhile networking and a chance to socialize and build relationships with some of the most active members of the collecting community.

aardvark88 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 I see that the Summit is highly encouraging collector-dealers to bring a few boxes of elite stock to vend from their own table rather than pay $100/ticket. May help to put 'East of Seattle' in the title so collectors know where the Summit will be: near Microsoft HQ. Funnybooks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattTheDuck Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 (edited) Man, this looks great! Even better, the Mariners are in town playing the Astros (assuming a new CBA is agreed upon) that weekend. Have my ticket! Look forward to seeing everyone.

Will some of the collector-vendors on Sunday be different than those from Saturday? This will give folks an incentive to stay in lovely Bellevue for both days. Good weather at the end of May 2022.

The Sunday 5 p.m. silent(?) auction sounds like a good idea to try or will it also be uploaded on to IG's EliteFest, or What Not?
