At last year's swap meet, I got the entire original Escaflowne VHS box set, practically brand new (the first three volumes had been watched once and not rewound, and the rest were still in shrink wrap), for $5.

You obviously don't understand that it is open to the public.  I have given you an example of a private convention, and you're just basically saying its private because you pay for it. Wrong.  You pay for public transportation, does that make it your private bus? No. Anyone can ride the bus as long as they pay.

Yet the Jesus protesters weren't allowed to get any closer to the convention than the sidewalk, let alone even get in the registration line to pay, thus making Fanime a private event.

I say if people want to hold up "hug me" signs, they can do so on the free sidewalk with the protesters. Two problems solved.

To answer my own question, I didn't find anything I wanted in the dealers room, but landed myself the original NES Zeldas I and II practically brand new in their boxes at the swap meet.

Which were you most satisfied with this year, the dealers room or the swap meet?

I believe R4 is illegal to sell.  I think you should report to fanime officlal

I don't see how R4 would be illegal. I use to it for homebrew games (and to play 'backup' games  :P). lol

It is illegal to sell R4 in Japan, but it is legal to own one; as for playing 'backup' games, then that is 100% illegal.

But, is it illegal to sell in the US?

Annoying as hell. I actually thought the signs had been banned. If people want to solicit hugs, let them hang out with the Jesus protesters on the sidewalk.

I think the problem is that swap meet could become competition for the dealers if it were more than two nights.

Then the dealers should have better stuff at their tables. Seriously, I didn't see anything I wanted to buy in the dealers room, but I made out like a bandit at the swap meet, both this year and last year. Also, they wouldn't directly compete if the swap meet was only scheduled after the dealers room closed, and remained a late night event.

I think we could have used more of that big burger up on the screen.

Don't you mean Nadesico? Gekiganger was a show within Nadesico?

Is it too late to ask for volunteers? I have experience.
