Obviously, getting rid of stuff in your room and making some money back is always awesome.  That's why I've been attending swap meet for the last few years.  However, if you still have a bunch of manga you don't want and can't sell off by Fanime 2013, there's an awesome way to lighten your load.

There was a new... "event" I guess it could be called, this year: the Manga Lounge!  Basically, an at-con library featuring nothing but manga!  There was a decent collection to start with, considering this was its first year, and it can only get better.  The lounge is accepting donations of any unwanted manga, regardless of its age, genre or language!  That's where you come along.  Make some space in your room and help others get an opportunity to experience and enjoy a medium that makes up a huge part of Fanime - bring in your unwanted manga, and see it become a part of the library for future cons-goers to enjoy!

They will be open Monday morning in the Hilton if you're around, and with any luck, they'll be back next year as well.  All you have to do is bring the manga in and drop it off - the lounge staff will see that it gets sorted and put up right away.  And while you're there, you can pick up and read other titles that you may not have come across before.  Unfortunately, they aren't able to purchase any manga off you, but anything you'd be willing to part with would definitely be appreciated, I'm sure.

Amusing performances by Aizawa and Chiba aside, I wonder how many nagative comments tonight's MusicFest is going to draw.

Again, this is unofficial from me, since I'm not staffing swap meet, but I believe you can have a helper bring in boxes and assist in setting up without needing to have them listed on the seller's form.  If they stick around once the actual meet begins and help in the exchange of cash and merchandise, then that would be a problem.

As far as badges are concerned, it shouldn't be a big problem if they don't have one on Thursday, but they most likely won't be allowed into the ballroom on Friday without one.

See this link for a map from the SJCC to the Fairmont Hotel: http://forums.fanime.com/index.php/topic,16971.msg438508.html#msg438508
I'm not positive where the Imperial Ballroom is specifically, but I'm sure it'll be easy to find once you get there.  There will probably be plenty of signs both in the hotel and at the SJCC to help with that.

As for the OP's question, this is by no means an official answer, and any staff members should obviously feel free to correct this, but from my experience in previous years and other responses in the official swap meet thread, Thursday tends to be pretty lax as far as badge control is concerned.  Confirmed registered sellers won't be turned away if they don't have their badge yet, so it shouldn't be a problem for people looking to buy.  And I could be wrong about this as well, but wasn't it actually posted that last year's Day 0 swap meet was considered open to the public for those looking to browse?

While this is happening with #1, we will be processing #2, and so on. If we get to #20 and you aren't there... we will move on to #21.

I think mlarad was was specifically wondering what the consequences were in that situation.  Say a seller is number 20, and you've already moved on to 22 by the time they get to the Fairmont.  Does that mean they've lost the opportunity to get a guaranteed (confirmed) spot all together?  They now have to wait for you to finish processing everyone else before you get to the wait list?

I think you've already covered the answer in this response:

Should we expect to show up at 5 pm Friday and have to stay until the swap meet starts at 7 pm?

Yes. If we call your number and you are not there, we will *not* save a space for you.

It's just not entirely clear if someone coming in late could check in with a staffer and get processed with another batch of numbers.

Though this may seem a bit harsh, believe me, I understand why you would have things set up this way after the mob of the last couple of years and all of the changes made to swap meet this year.  Not really complaining, just sayin'.

So, to my fellow sellers: better make sure you get your boxes and behinds over to the Fairmont at 6pm.  5pm on Friday.

I haven't seen Otome so I'm less invested in them "/  I'll think about it, but at this point, I don't even know if I'll be there in time for the swap meet either days.
Good luck selling though!   You're pricey but since I've seen the figure before, it's totes worth it if I get the chance to stop by.

Also random but would you by any chance have a minidisc player that you're selling?

If you like Hime, I definitely recommend that you watch Mai-Otome and the S.ifr OVAs.  I know a lot of my stuff seems pretty expensive (no takers on the HoiHoi-san set yet?) but a lot of the figures I'm selling were expensive when they were released.  I'm not trying to rake it in with my prices, but I'd like to make back at least a little of what I originally spent.  And to be honest, I've already got all the figures sealed up in a suitcase and I could be wrong about the price I stuck on it.  I think I had $60 in mind for the high end.

And hey, if nobody's buying, I'll most likely drop the prices, since I'd rather not lug all of them back home.

I think I was the only Asian in high school who didn't have a MD player, so we're out of luck there.  I see them all over Fanime, but I don't recall actually seeing any up for sale during swap meet.  Sorry!

Alright, I'll take it for $15 then. Will you be at swap meet Friday? Maybe I can meet you before it starts ;)

I'll be at swap meet both Thursday and Friday nights.  I think my friend and I will be in spots 58 and 67, respectively.  I not sure if I'll have time to meet before hand, as I'm actually staffing an event.  If you're sure you want them, I don't mind putting them aside for you.  Send me a private message if you're interested, so I know who I'm saving them for.

Can you give me an estimate on the price of the Mai figure?

I think I'm pricing Mai at $60.  She's huge at 1/6 scale; nearly 11 inches tall!  I think she retailed at around $85.

I know it adds up to be quite a lot, but if anyone out there is looking to pick up all of the Hime/Otome figures, I think I can make a pretty good deal on the four of them.

Any other Cowboy Bebop figures by any chance?

Sorry, the Julia figure is the only piece of Cowboy Bebop merchandise I currently have.  Man, I'm 0-for-2 so far.

hiyas I'm interested in the Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei vol. 1-3 and Bakuman vol.8. Would you be willing to go for $12-$13 total?

Unfortunately, I think I'm going to have to hold firm at $15 for the four volumes.  That's only because Bakuman wound up being a duplicate (always keep your manga list up to date, kids!) and thus is unread.  And I think $10 is a good price for three mint volumes of Zetsubou.  That doesn't mean this will hold true throughout the swap meet, though.

[Anime figures]

With Fanime and Swap Meet 2012 only days away, I thought I'd put up a last minute post for folks to get an idea of what I'll be bringing.  This isn't a complete listing of everything I'll have, and I'll be sharing the space with a friend, so who knows what other kind of goodies you'll be able to find in our 5x10 space!

Please note that I'm still figuring out the prices of some of these items, mostly the figures, and that the price and selection may change by the time I actually get set up in our assigned spot.  In many cases, there will be some flexibility in the pricing, especially if multiple items are purchased.  Also be aware that all items listed are in like-new used condition, except where noted otherwise.  I try to keep my stuff in good condition, but expect to see the usual shelf wear on boxes or slight cover bends in manga.

Thanks for looking!

I'm ashamed to admit I still use an AOL account as my primary email.  I tried to sign up as soon as the server would let me though, but I haven't seen a confirmation email yet.  Nothing in my spam folder, either.  Only slightly concerned, because my buddy (who I think wound up as #2 tonight...) and I try to get neighboring spots every year, and I'm not quite sure how that will work out now with the new rules.

So, selfish question first, since I still haven't come across anyone that could give me an answer to this: if I am given a volunteer badge for helping out with a Fanime event, I'm assuming I won't have a specific member ID number like I would if I had a regular weekend badge.  Will this be a problem in signing up for a spot at swap meet?

Delays are understandable especially given this drastic change in location, so I am very grateful that we're finally getting some official word on the meet.  However, I feel that the new location is going to wind up being a pretty big deal with most attendees.  Before I continue, though, I really want to point out that I can certainly appreciate all of the concerns with safety and logistics that the shared space with gaming caused, along with the fact that there really isn't anything you can do about this decision, especially at this point in time.

I think the biggest problem is that it's not actually going to be in the SJCC.  Sure, it's right there, but I've always felt that the swap meet has been a huge draw because it was right there in the thick of things.  Even being slightly off site means that sellers no longer benefit from the cross traffic that naturally occurs as people come and go from the gaming hall.  Plus, on Friday night when the dealer's hall closes, swap meet is, like, right there.  I can't tell you how many times I hear people say "I was looking for this all over the dealer hall, but nobody had it!" and that's only from observing my own space and the neighboring spaces to each side.  Who knows how frequently that happens throughout the entire meet.  It'll be interesting to see if the location has any impact on the number of people stopping by to look for a deal.

I've always thought it was great that the SJCC has two hotels that are physically connected to it (even though I've not yet had the opportunity to actually stay at either one,) and I know people are constantly coming and going from their rooms.  It's pretty neat to wind down from a full day on the floor, maybe change out of some cosplay into some PJs, and then hit the swap meet for some late night bargains.  Another thing I've noticed is when somebody browsing the floor sees some awesome giant figure, or decides to finally pick up that dance mat they've been thinking about getting for a while, and winds up with an arm full of win.  It's awkward to keep walking the floor like that (though it doesn't stop a lot of people,) so they make a stop back at their room, drop off their loot, and they're back at it a couple minutes later.  Sure, the new location won't exclude that from happening this year, but it does make it more inconvenient.

And finally, to address the fact that people, especially sellers with possibly left over merchandise and hopefully a lot of money in their pocket, may not feel safe at night is a valid point to consider.  I'm sure Fanime staff will do everything they can to keep that area safe for all attendees, possibly with extra security/police presence?  I'm actually not terribly concerned about this myself, since it usually feels pretty safe when you're in a crowd of people with similar interests, but I can totally understand people being wary in that situation, that late at night.  Heck, I usually don't get on the road to head home for the night until 2am on Friday night/Saturday morning.  I mean, do people usually get freaked out when the Musicfest or masquerade get out?  Those usually end fairly late as well, definitely when it's dark out, and it seems like the sidewalks and streets are flooded with otaku.  Most shady people would be pretty freaked out themselves.  Again, though, the fact that there will be people walking around late at night, loaded down with valuables and cash, can't be overlooked.

I hope that these points have at least been considered, and that they are addressed accordingly or wind up being non-issues.  I'm still looking forward to the swap meet, assuming I get to attend.  *ahem*  I guess we'll all find out if this year's meet winds up being another success or if there's any fallout from these changes in a couple of months.  In the mean time, I guess I should get started in organizing all the stuff I want to sell.

Looks like I missed out on having the first long swap meet post this time around, but I am surprised that there hasn't been more news coming down from staff or questions from members regarding the if/how/when's of this year's meet.

With that in mind, I do have a question that I haven't come across before: it looks like I'm going to be assisting in some capacity at one of the events this year, and thus will be provided with a volunteer badge.  I doubt each badge has a specific member number like the ones provided with normal registration would have.  And even if it did, I won't have that number until I actually pick up that badge at the con.  One of the primary reasons I look forward to Fanime each year is the swap meet.  From years past, the pre-registration process for a seller's spot required that you include your badge number.  I've asked the department head that I'm working with about this, and it's been tossed around a bit, but the only thing that I've heard back is that the first few spots are reserved for staff to allow them to sell their own stuff.  I know that the first three spaces are usually held for that one mass wall-o-stuff from the higher-ups.  And if I recall correctly, there were a few other reserved spots next to that, but I figure that as just a one-time volunteer, I'd be responsible for securing my own space.  I'm totally happy going through the usual process of registering and paying for a spot; I just want to ensure that I'll be able to actually get that spot without having access to a member badge number.  I'm hoping that there's someone on swap meet staff that can help with this, or at least let me know in advance so that I can actually pay for a full Fanime badge in time to also sign up for swap meet.

Having said all that, it would be nice to hear something from staff regarding this year's meet.  Technically, we haven't heard anything saying that swap meet has been confirmed to be on, although there is a spot on the main page for it.  We can all assume that it'll follow the usual format of Thursday and Friday night and that it'll be in the same space as the gamer hall.  Personally, I wasn't a fan of the narrow-but-deep spaces from last year, but I think everyone was able to make it work.  And I know it involved complicated preparations and that there were hiccups in the process, but I was very appreciative of being able to pick up my badge and get my swap meet spot all at the some time on Thursday.  Will any of this be the same this year?

While I don't know any details, I do understand that there are complications behind the scenes that are leading to all these delays in registration and hotel info and the like, but we're nearly 100 days away from Fanime, and I don't want to have to worry about getting all my stuff together at the last minute, or finding out that it'll be too late to pre-register, and that I'll have to spend a good chunk of Friday morning buying a badge that day, missing out on Thursday night entirely and hoping that there's stand-by space left to sell at Friday's meet.

Basically, I'd just like to not be left in the dark this close to the con.  I've got a ton of anime figures that I would love to sell, and while I would still enjoy Fanime, it would just really suck to not be able to participate in swap meet.

[after]

Let me echo FanFicGuru by thanking Marisa and all Fanime staff involved in pulling off another great swap meet this year.  It's hard to choose one part of Fanime that I look forward to the most, but it's easily up there at the top with the dealer's hall and musicfest for me.  Now, on to my own comments and observations:

I can understand the complaints about the long wait on Thursday to get in, even if I didn't experience that wait myself.  I was lucky to register at spot #8 for Thursday night, so I got in almost right away, even though I arrived after people had already started to work their way in.  To play devil's advocate, I can see why they might need to keep the badges in alphabetical order - anyone who didn't show up on Thursday would have to have their badges sent back to the registration staff to be picked up like usual on Friday or Saturday. And as long as you know to look at the LAST name and not the first, it really shouldn't take all that long to flip through the badges.  Conversely, couldn't something like the badges have been dealt with while people were waiting in line?

Having said that, I don't really understand the point of having a start time of 8:00, which I was actually expecting, only to see the first 20 spots already being processed and let in at 6:02.  I actually wouldn't mind longer swap meet times, without stepping on the feet and pissing off the people in the dealer's hall on Friday, but instead of getting there with plenty of time to get my forms out and compose myself, I wound up getting in about a dozen spots later than where I had registered.  Again, I'm not really sure how I feel about this part, since longer swap meets are a good thing in my opinion, but it would suck for anyone who only showed up an hour early.

2) Spot size on Friday - I understand you're wanting the most spaces possible. The small size on Friday didn't bother me. It was paying $20 for half the size of the spot I had on Thursday. For next year if you guys do half spots ONLY on Fridays please let us know in advance (unless I missed that somewhere?) and cost should only be $10 instead of $20.

Actually, spots were only 5'x10' both days this year.  Like I posted a ways back, I'm surprised nobody else really said anything about this.  I decided to hold off judgement until after swap meet so I can see how it actually worked out, and all in all, it wasn't horrible.  I do have to admit I'm a little sore at the $20 cost for the "half space," since it seems like you're getting more people squeezed into the same size room, and we all have to pay the same as last year's larger space.  Cost aside, I think it would have worked out better for the sellers to have a wider spot, rather than a deep one.  It was difficult to interact with people interested when you couldn't reach them because of all the stuff between you.  Not only that, but having wider spots that didn't stick out so far into the room would have eased the congestion of people, which was a problem on Friday.  You had sellers sticking 10' out from the wall, then buyers three people deep, people trying to walk in both directions, and gamers trying to enjoy some eGaming goodness.  Wider spots would mean fewer spaces along the walls, but don't you think you could fit another row or two of spots out in the "middle" of the floor?

And to just touch on some other line-related things, I too think that inspections can at least start while people are in line.  When you've got a bunch of stuff to have opened up, looked at, and then stacked back up all while more people are coming in right behind you, it can be a pain.  For me, getting to my spot after I got my badge and payed my $20 was the most difficult part on Thursday.  And if staffers are going to have reserved spots to sell anyway, why not have them processed even earlier than everyone else, not just at the "front" of the line.  Either that, or have it done parallel to everyone else.  If they're staff, I don't think you'd have to inspect their boxes as throughly or have the same problems with the badges.  Give them some perks because they're staffing, but not at the cost of the paying attendees who wind up having to wait behind them.

Having said all that, I do hope that swap meet was as successful for everyone else as it was for me.  Although I didn't sell quite as much as I would have liked, and didn't get a chance to shop with anyone else other than my neighbors because I went stag, I still had a blast, and wound up more than paying for my weekend with what I did sell.  Fanime may still have Monday to go, but I'm already looking forward to seeing swap meet '12!

When I walked in the door I was shocked to see how much the person in the corner had

From previous swap meet experience, and if you look at the floor map, you can see that the first five or so spots are reserved, and are used by Fanime staff.  I was surprised the first time I saw that whole corner spot piled high and deep with figures and boxes and boxes of manga/doujins.  It also makes more sense when you consider the corner guy is usually the first one in, and last one out, as far as sellers go.

Yeah there are definitely extremes as far as stuff people are selling. Some have 5 plushies and a wall scroll, others have flat hand trucks piled high with boxes full of manga, anime, soundtracks, everything.

I'm still not understanding how some people come in with hand carts.  Shopping carts and rolling luggage are one thing, but these are four-wheeled flatbed hand trucks I saw rolling around last night.  I guess, they might have an "in" with staff, since I recognize those people from swap meets past, but it just doesn't make sense with all of the warnings they give that the building is union controlled.

[$20]

For those checking this thread during the con:
It looks like the repair job on my Slimer figure didn't hold.  I'm confident that it can be fixed, but it would literally have to be permanent.  It comes boxed with Slimer separate from his Ghostbusters logo/sign base.  I used some heavy-duty CA glue, but the weight of the ugly little spud was too much, and it snapped in the same place.  You could glue him directly to the base, but then it wouldn't fit back in the box for transportation.

Because of this, I'm going to try to sell it one last time Friday night.  Originally, NIB, I was asking $75.  When I thought I had it fixed, I wanted $35.  Friday night, I'll have him in the box, as-is, for only $20.  I still have the t-shirt and ToyFair magazine that I wanted to bundle with it, so if you're interested in all three, I'd like to get $30.

Overall, it seemed like this year's day-0 swap meet was slower than previous years.  Then again, this is my first year selling without two of my friends and their own stuff, and I didn't get a chance to shop around myself.  I hope to see a bunch of people Friday night!

Anyone bringing Nendoroids/Figmas/Scale Figures, and possibly tapestries?

I won't have any figmas or full-size Nendos, since I'm keeping all the good stuff for my own collection, but I will have at least one Petit Nendo - Nagato Yuki.  I also just got in my blind case of petits from K-On, so I'll see if I wind up with any duplicates.  I'll also have a trading figure of Misaka Imouto from To Aru Majutsu no Index, which looks like a Petit Nendo, but is from another company.

I actually edited this list and took out all of the toys and figures and stuff that'll I'll be bringing; there was just way too much to list in one post, and I don't think there was anything super exciting.  I may add an additional post with those other items at a later time, or you could always PM me and I can send that info over.  In addition, I'll also have various Japanese anthologies, including Young Ace, Gundam Ace, Dragon Monthly, and Dragon Age.

Want: Megami Magazines, Dengekis, PVCs, and stuff

Where were you last year?  I had about a dozen Dengenki Hime's and Daioh's I wanted to sell, but nobody was even interested in them.  I wound up recycling them all, so they've probably wound up as toilet paper by now.  I will have some PG/PG-13 posters that I saved from them, however.

I'm confirmed for both Thursday and Friday - I just hope I'll sell through most of my stuff so I'll have at least a little time to shop, myself.  I've also been saving up a ton of bags over the last year, so I should have plenty to go around.  And just as a note, I will be having one box that is 18+, but I won't detail out what will be in it, suffice to say that there will -not- be any yaoi dojins.

Each night of the Swap Meet that you are participating in, you check-in, pay the fee, and then the staff will collect your registration form, check your items, and then take you to your spot.  The badge # usually is written on the pre-reg. form.  A badge isn't necessary for Thursday, but Friday's requires one.  (Unless they change it this year.)  

I'm pretty sure they have changed it.  angeljibrille will probably have a reply up for this shortly, but I think they've restricted it this year to only people with badges allowed on Thursday as well.
