+SpiceWare Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I'd talked about it with a friend earlier this year, but we forgot about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Ok, I should have waited a week before I said anything. The days off I have left I will need to take care of something personal, so I don't think I can go after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGQuarterly Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I had an OK time last year, but doubt that I'll go back this year. It was 90% gougers charging above-eBay prices for stuff, in my opinion. I found some good deals, but mostly from people that I already knew. Did get an AA shirt though, so that was cool. I had been looking forward to helping Al with the AA booth, but he waived me off when I showed up. Guess I'm too ugly, or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found some good deals, but mostly from people that I already knew. 90% huh? if that many of our vendors charged above-ebay prices we would not have as many sales as we did!

CGQuarterly Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 That may be a slight exaggeration, but the general idea holds true, in my opinion. People are willing to spend more at a convention, especially when most of those people are 20-somethings who don't know better and for whom classic gaming is just a fad. It isn't a reflection on the quality of the convention, just on the vendors taking advantage of the fact that they're selling their wares in the hipster capital of western civilization. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hydro Thunder Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Just an FYI for those thinking about going from out of town, the first couple of hotels listed on the PGRE site (the two giving a discount for PRGE attendees) are booked for that weekend. I am still going, just am likely to pay more $ than I'd planned for a hotel somewhat near the Expo center. My fault for not getting my reservation in earlier, grr.

+SpiceWare Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 (edited) I am still going, just am likely to pay more $ than I'd planned for a hotel somewhat near the Expo center. You could stay at someplace a little farther away if it's close to the light rail system - 1 day passes are $5. I'm arriving early and staying at this Quality Inn the first night because the DoubleTree was booked on Thursday. Estimated total for the night (including all taxes) is $77 Edited August 18, 2013 by SpiceWare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joesmooth Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I'll be there! Yeah! I had a great time two years ago, but missed last year. Excited to see everyone again and rock to some 8-Bit Weapon. I reserved a half-booth and will be selling there, too. Mostly rare 2600 stuff, but also a bunch of other misc. things (8-bit, Coleco, vintage clothing, manuals, Game Gear, Atari/C64 game boxes, etc.) Too much to list, so you'll just have to come check it out Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
