I signed up for both night at Swap meet.
First night is no problem, but on friday I have to run my artist booth.  Artist Alley closes at 8pm (stays open till 9pm for artists to clean up) and Swap meet begins at 8pm.
How late could I get there for check in on Friday?
06- Ragnarok Huntress / 07- Haruhi Suzumiya
08- Shana / 09 - Luluko
10 - Holo / 11 - Flaaffy
12 - Inga / 13 - Lizbeth

I have a few questions: Can I wrap my M rated manga in plastic wrap? I probably won't bring it, just curious.
And does anyone know if Pokémon cards sell? I have all mine that I brought back in 1999(I think.) And how much do you sell them for?

In regards to the manga, Probably not, but I'd need to see it before I could give a definite answer.

Is the Thursday swap meet a badged event? A friend wants to help me watching my spot but isn't going to the con this year. Just wanted to make sure
For attendees, no. 

For anyone selling or manning a booth, yes.  That means your unbadged friend would not be able to watch your space for you or sell.

Hi Ben,

in the swap meet application , if it says " in process" underneath the Thursday/Friday space does that mean we pretty much did not get waitlisted barring mishaps with paperwork and form errors?
Yes, that means you should be good to go if you've finished up through payment.  "In Process" simply means "not waitlisted or spaces unavailable."

Hey Ben,
So regarding the waitlist for swap meet, just recieved the email about making a new registration but the problem is that the registration wont let us make a new account as the email already corresponds to a primary account. How do we get around this?
I think I replied to this directly in an e-mail, but if not, e-mail me and we'll try to figure this out.

That should be fine.  I'll make a note next to your account that you might be late to check in.

Is there any limit to how much stuff we can bring in? Can we make multiple trips from outside into the hall? I have more stuff than I can carry in one go.

Hey all,

A bit of shameless self-promotion, but I posted a catalog of a lot of the stuff I will be bringing to swap meet. You can find it here:

I'm mostly selling wall scrolls and doujin items. Take a look if you're interested and please tell any friends who are attending Fanime and who might be interested!

Thanks as always to all the swap meet staff for making this event possible every year.

Wall scrolls, doujin stuff, and lots of other cool stuff. All Japanese imports (and a lot of stuff from Comic Market!)

No badge needed to shop on Thursday, only to sell

You will need all of your items with you when you check in.  Part of the check-in process is to go through all your things to make sure they comply with Swap Meet rules.  However, if it's just multiple trips to and from the door, then pushing all of it to your spot, that's fine.  However, there is no running back to your car to get more things one you've been checked in and seated.

I think I remember the answer to this being no for last year, but just to double check - raffles are not allowed right?
