Yes, especially large ones. Usually the tickets aren’t extremely expensive, maybe $30-$50 or so. The most recent one I went to was $50 for a 3-day pass.
@@PyyrusGaming I thought these were paid for by sellers. It does seem like a high premium to access ebay stores. I think the last seller was way too expensive. Condition matters, but his stuff was being sold at a premium.
@WhatsOnMyShelf sellers do pay the venue to be there, but so do attendees. In fairness there’s a lot more going on than just vendors; there are tournaments, free play, meet and greets, all kinds of stuff. The last vendor definitely knew what he had, but he was more willing to move than some of the others. If you’re nice, with good product in good condition then I’m not bothered for a bit of a premium. As for EBay, you have to keep in mind taxes, fees, shipping, time to arrive and you don’t get to physically inspect it until you get it, so there are trade offs. Thanks for watching and commenting!
massive haul lol this project wont take as long as i thought
Still some big boys to go, but we’re making progress!
I was able to snag a Ninja Gaiden 3 at a local retro exchange store, loose, mint, for $79.99 and I was thrilled.
Nice get! Congrats!
Do you have to pay to get in these conventions?
