Awesome. There are two days for SWAP meets now. I was upset last year when it was only one day.

Maybe it wasn't in the schedule since I only remember Friday night. But yeah, I was there Thursday and didn't hear anything about it happening since the place where swap meet at is in e-gaming room (and of course that wasn't opened and ready yet)

Huh?  It was in the eGaming room and it most definitely open.  I know this because I bought a couple of things there after the concert.

It sounded confusing the way I said it, but I meant that I don't remember there being more than one day for swap meet (as in I don't remember Thursday had a swap meet). As far as I remember, Friday was the day (I think?) that all those people were lining up outside waiting to get in.

My answer was a little confusing too.  There was a swap meet both on Thursday and Friday, I attended on both days.  The Friday swap meet was more crowded and more people were selling, but a good amount of sellers and buyers were there on Thursday too.

I probably will sell more stuff on Thursday night at the Swap Meet.  I have some time until May to figure out what I have left to sell, and if I sell the most stuff on Thursday, I may not do the one on Friday night.

 I'm hoping to sell some stuff this year for the first time but i'm a wee bit ignorant of the selling process for thursday night.
Is it just a first come first serve, pay the sellers fee for thursday night & how soon should I show up?
I would like to sell on fri. night as well but the page says it is full.

  Thanks
Title: Thursday Swap Meet Information

Don't forget to fill out and bring this form:

http://www.fanime.com/file_download/25/2008SwapMeetApplication.pdf

Thursday is first come, first serve.  The event starts at 7:30pm.  You may want to show up slightly before that.   Everyone needs a badge, so I don't think people can show up too too early because Pre-Reg pick up doesn't start until 5pm.  Last year we didn't come close to filling up the room, so there was really no need to line up at all.  This year we may have spread the word a little better, so things may be different - but it's still Day 0, Pre-reg only and on a work/school night, so who knows.
