By the last day, they'll be willing to knock the price down (including the down-payment) so everybody walks away happy.


This is a great idea! EVERYONE should do this, and it will be even riskier for game companies to attend conventions!

Game companies may make more money per unit selling directly at a convention than they would selling through the distribution tier, but almost all of that money -- from every company I've ever talked to or worked for -- is taken up with necessary convention expenses.

Yes, but you have to establish a rapport with the dealer: Take a few of his/her business cards & promise to spread them to like-minded people you know. Compare the prices with other dealers & see whom offers the best deal. More often, they'll drop the price a few dollars to keep you coming back.

Above all else, treat the dealer(s) with respect. Even if you don't necessarilly buy anything this year, over the net (if they have a web-page/store) might help.

I myself have never been to a con. Overall, how would you rate the experience? Good? Bad? I'd like to attend someday.

Each con is different, depening on:

Available space (most organizations rent a local college auditorium) for dealers, media guests signings, movies, panels ect. (SUNY Stony Brook hosts ICON every year; they expanded to multiple buildings after #10 to accomodate all the fans)

Media Guests booked (some cancel just before the 'con)

Attendance Price (sign up for their newsletter & e-mail alerts--get your full-weekend pass at the first reduced price opportunity...even if you don't go the whole weekend, it pays for itself)

Dealers (depending upon the convention's rules, you may see sword-dealers with some impressive hardware)

Accessability (some cons book places with local train & bus access, or offer discounted taxi packages to & from train stations nearby).

So is only getting 125 of the 1000 special edition books you planned to sell at the con to the con because the printer lived down to their reputation. . . .

Yeah, I'm awful proud that we've busted enough ass both years since to make sure something like that doesn't happen again. :-)
