[akuma632]

This will be my fist year going, anyone else going?

What's the dos and donts ?

What should I def try to do?

What should I def stay away from???

I was thinking of going to the one in Cleveland Ohio next month, but I kind of doubt it. Most of them are just glorified over priced flea markets, where they set up a bunch of toys to play with, mostly ones I already own.

I'll be heading there as well. This will be my second year.  It's great if you are looking to buy some games and interesting memorabilia.  I never participated in the tournaments or went to the panels that they have.  I strictly go there to grab games in the wild.  Like Ozzy said it is pretty much a video game flea market.  Prices aren't bad as most vendors are more then willing to negotiate.

Sweet what kinda stuff are you on the look out for? I hoping to score some TG16 stuff but I'm worried on the prices?!!?!  I'm hoping it's not all eBay resellers like my local flea market is in this area

How many days are you going?

Then stop collecting TG-16
And PLEASE don't be one of those "I collect the hu-cards only" people.  To me it comes out as "I only collect the below-average half of the system's games"

I'm gonna focus on grabbing some loose SNES, Genesis, and NES stuff I've been holding off on buying from ebay.  Last year I didn't really dig too much through the loose stuff.

I didn't see a whole lot USA TG-16 stuff last year, but you never know.  I do recall spotting a Bonk's revenge. Was gonna buy it but the manual was in poor condition. Other then that maybe some PC-Engine stuff. The show is pretty big so there is a chance I missed a few sellers.
It's mostly game stores from the tri-state area.  

Last year I got the following:
NES - Blaster Master Cart - $5
NES - TMNT 2 w/ box $10
N64 - Excite Bike 64 CIB $10
Genesis - Golden Axe II CIB - $8
Genesis - Street Fighter II' Special Championship Edition CIB $5
Genesis - Alien Soldier Repro w/ Box - $50
Sega CD - Mickey Mania CIB $15
Sega CD - Rise of the Dragon CIB $8
Sega CD - Mortal Kombat CIB $10
Saturn - Clockwork Knight 2 CIB $30

Sorry akuma didn't see your message until just now.  I was about two hours away so I just stayed for the show and left after the Game Chasers Q&A on Saturday.
Get any nice pickups?
