I got 9207. I think we have to check our account for our spaces

I'm guessing it stops at Step 5 to check your registration in the system before paying for the space and all that? I entered my badge info but I can't go any farther yet (to payment, etc.) as far as I can tell. I seem to remember it being the same last year, just popping in to make sure I'm not missing anything.

that's just sad, but I hope you won't have to go thru that again this yr if you're sellingQuote from: warbearer on May 12, 2016, 09:36:07 PMQuote from: OtakuAngel87 on May 12, 2016, 09:09:01 PM
out of curiosity what was it that you were selling that the parent was soo desperate to leave their kid thereQuote from: warbearer on May 12, 2016, 07:29:30 PMQuote from: Ecchi ja Nai on May 12, 2016, 07:27:13 PM
I agree with Michi, South Hall (aka the big blue tent) was an excellent location. Probably second only to being in the convention center itself, which apparently will never happen again.
The year it was at the City National Civic Theater was the worst, location wise. It was way too small to accommodate even a reasonable number of people at any given time for Swap Meet. If I recall correctly, I still managed to sell pretty well, but everything I heard from people trying to get in later was that it was a huge headache. There were definitely a lot fewer people coming in to browse because of the limited capacity, and I also noticed fewer people made multiple laps or return trips throughout the night. Second worst location was the Fairmont, partially because of the distance from the convention center, but also because of the really confusing way sellers were spread out through multiple ballrooms.
I don't remember when seller signups went up the last couple of years. It definitely seems like it creeps closer and closer every year, but I didn't think it's been this close to the start of the con before.
I remember a parent who would leave his to cry at my space so I would give the toy to the kid for $1 until one of the staff kicked him out.
sorry misintrepid it. The father and his baby wanted to buy this toy loose http://www.tfu.info/2000/Vehicon/Mirage/mirage.htm for $1 when I was selling it for $5. The kid cried and the father refused to leave my space until I would give it to him for $1 and driving of potential customers until one of the staff told them to leave and he made excuses that I refuse to give the toy to his son for $1.

??? Last year was the South Hall, and it was great. I can't speak for all sellers but I sold well! Two years ago was when it was at the theater space that was too small and it was too crowded.

Hi, I've been selling at Fanime swap meet for 7 years, and this was by far the best it's been setup, especially on Friday. Registration was a breeze, checking in was a breeze, and I had ample time to setup before buyers were let in.
There was only one blemish on an otherwise perfect swap meet, and that was that during the last 5 minutes, while we were putting stuff away, the dealer from -mod edit- came over, reeking of beer, and tried to low ball us, not taking no for an answer, instead trying to add stuff to his purchase and make a ridiculously low offer. The guy wouldn't quit and kept hassling us. This was WHILE we were trying to pack up. I haven't had trouble with any other dealers coming to swap meet aside from these guys, and this isn't the first time it's happened.

Okay. Seems like we're having a problem with Step 5 of the registration process. I'm getting in touch with Decantus to get the finer details worked out and make sure people can get registered. Just popping in to let people know we've seen the problem and are working on it.
