Portland Retro Gaming Expo 2010

[recycledgamer]

We've locked in the dates for the 2010 Portland Retro Game Expo!

September 18-19, 2010

Once again we have secured the Portland Crowne Plaza Hotel for our event, with the following changes:

* We have secured a second room. The 2009 show used the 5,600 square foot Belmont ballroom. This year we will have that room plus the 2,700 square foot Windsor room for a total of almost 8,500 square feet of classic video game goodness. In addition to these ballrooms, we will have access to two large foyer areas outside of each ballroom as well as the same outdoor plaza we used last year.

* We have opted for a two-day event. The 2010 Expo will operate Saturday and Sunday, September 18-19, 2010.

* Service and hospitality improvements. The PRGE staff were extremely happy with the level of service provided to our guests by the Crowne Plaza in 2009, but we did agree on a few ways they can help us advance the Expo in 2010. They have committed to fully stocking the snack vending area for the duration of the show and to provide meals/sandwiches for purchase conveniently near the exhibition area. Additionally, they will ensure the onsite ATM machine remains stocked with cash throughout the weekend this year.

sounds legit. i'm determined to make it this year!!

[swlovinist]

Alot of hard work was put into our last show, and it turned out great. We look forward to making this one even better. For those that can attend, this is going to be an awsome show, with a most excellent variety of games and systems for the whole family. I love being a part of the the contributers/organizers to this most excellent show, and have appreciated the hard work of all who were involved that made our last show such a big success. One thing is for sure, there is going to be alot of FUN in Portland this year!

It was a blast last year,looking forward to this year's event,I gotta start savin' my pennies!! Rob

[buzz_n64]

When I see the title of the topic, I think it says Puerto Rico Gaming Expo 2010. lol :) I know it's not, but just had to say something.

[DigitalSpace]

I'll be there, along with most of the friends that joined me last year. Glad to read that there will be two rooms this year, things got pretty crowded.

I hope the Atari living room makes a return this year - I'd like to actually get a photo of myself in it this time around.

I plan to be there

[Bskull]

I know this may sound like a dumb/noob question and I apologize in advance for necroing this thread, but I was thinking about taking my consolized Neo-Geo MV-1 board to the show now since I am going to get a VGA box for it and I was wondering who do I need to talk to possibly arrange a chance to hook it up as I want to have other people enjoy what I have been enjoying for months now. ^_^

Funny, I was thinking the same thing for my consolized Neo Geo. I'm sure they'll let you set it up as a free play with the rest of the systems. Not sure if I'd do that with my Neo though. Consolized Neo's are not easy or cheap to replace if they get damaged.

By the way, I am going to be a vendor again this year (last year was my first). I might have some Neo stuff to sell. Depends on what I have on hand when the time rolls around.

[Bskull]

Can't blame ya for the concern, but I am thinking of ways of countering issues up to small children possibly spilling something on the board. I hope to get more money to spend this year so I will definitely check out your stuff as there are a couple of games that I want to add to my collection.

We are planning to have all gaming systems to be in another room (not the vendor room) this year (except for those vendors that have a game system set-up at their booth/table) we might be able to have it set up in the free play game area if we have the room for it.

Rick

[Bskull]

Awesome. Please let me know if you have room asap so I can prepare ahead of time.

Neo stuff is ALWAYS welcome at our show :)

I've got tons and tons of cool stuff for sale this year... :wink 2:
Can't wait to see everybody, last year was epic!

Hell yeah, can't wait!

[loop006]

I do still have the HK Xbox, is there gonna be an auction this year? I can bring it if there is any interest.. I'm willing to lower the reserve price from last year.

[rick weis]

is there gonna be an auction this year?

100% YES!! :)

Rick

[nhm]

Neo stuff is ALWAYS welcome at our show :)

Funny, I was just thinking of you last week, because I know you are in Longview and you check out Craigslist. There was a Craigslist listing in Kelso for 9 Virtual Boy games, including Waterworld and Jack Bros. I just about crapped my pants. He was asking $25 for the lot. I sent him an email but never heard back. I assumed that you may have swooped in and got it, being that you are in the immediate area.

Back on topic, I might bring some Virtual Boy Stuff too. Maybe if I complete my VB collection by then, I'll think about parting with my Flashboy.

[recycledgamer]

Dear classic video game fans,

To help make the next Portland Retro Gaming Expo the best ever, we are asking anyone who has been to our show or is planning to attend to complete a short survey.

I have my fingers crossed that myself and two friends will be vendors this year. Maybe if we make enough money over the weekend we can secure a booth. How quickly do the vendor tables fill up? (ie How soon in advance do we need to reserve a space?)

I would not wait till the last week like some did last year, we fit them in, but it took a lot of work fitting everyone in the room, we were PACKED with vendors last year. and this year will be the same, but we will have much more room for vendors this year. that said, it's first come first served, we have 15 paid now and 8 more i'm just waiting on payment. one vendor even paid for a MEGA booth (7 tables)

when you're ready, contact me ASAP. :)

Shameless plug follows....

I was a vendor last year, and I will be a vendor again this year. If you have good stuff to sell, you will make money. I had two tables last year and sold about $1,000 worth of stuff. All of the prices I got for items were above what I would've gotten selling stuff on ebay. That being said, the prices I charged were well below the TOTAL cost a person would pay for items on ebay (factoring in shipping). That's a win win situation. The only challenge is to escape with the money you made. You might just leave with more stuff than you arrived with. Now for the non-business related goodness...

You will meet lots, and lots of great people. The friends you make, the stuff you see, and the experience you take away are worth the price alone.

[miaandjohnrule]

Damn, Can't wait! Had such a blast vending last year and I'm sure this one will be no different.

[coreys429]

This will be my 3rd year vending and I am in a place with other vendors that I can be comfortable with. Even if you only seen some of the people once a year, it seems to be a tight knit family.

[evg2000]

From a buyer's perspective I thought there was a lot of good stuff to buy. Both of my suitcase topped out at 50 pounds, and I had my clothes and some other things I bought in my carry on back pack and small duffle bag I brought!

Here's what I'm worried about: I was told that a good idea is to price things at 30% below Ebay, which would be fine if I didn't have to pay for gas, lodgings and $50 for a table. I'm not sure how I'd end up making better money there than if I just sat on my ass at home and sold on Ebay.

I'm still planning on going, just wondering if you (or anyone) have any tips. Because from a business standpoint, it just doesn't make any sense.

That depends on how much you bring and what items you have. Ebay (and Pay Pal) charge fees. If you sell $500-1000 how much are you paying in fee's vs. paying for a table and lodging. And you have to deal with all the idiots on Ebay :-). If you are coming to our show either way, why worry about gas? Since you are coming why not spend the 50.00 and fill up your car with items to make some cash to spend on all the great stuff from other vendors? And you get in early if you're a vendor :-). Or were you planning on flying here?

Glad to hear that you plan on coming either way. :-)

I think it depends on what your interpretation of "Ebay" prices are. As a vendor I think you can sell most items for the same price that most Ebay auctions with multiple bids end at. When I'm pricing stuff I try to price it slightly above the average auction price and less than most Ebay fixed price listings. I hope that makes sense. Right now I see a huge difference in auction prices (my definition of an auction is something that gets multiple bids and sells for significantly higher than the minimum bid) and Ebay fixed prices or items with high minimums fishing for that one bid. I think if you are a vendor and your prices aren't crazy you will do well.

Here's what I'm worried about: I was told that a good idea is to price things at 30% below Ebay, which would be fine if I didn't have to pay for gas, lodgings and $50 for a table.

I can totally understand your concerns.

As anyone who has been to our show can attest, I probably bring more to sell at PRGE than any other vendor. While I LOVE being part of the PRGE show, I would definitely not sell there if it didn't make business sense for me. Here's my take on it:

You are certainly welcome to charge whatever you want, but I find that a 20% discount from shipped eBay prices works well and I can show you why.

eBay charges 15% commission on the first $50 for video games. Most of my items sell for less than $50. PayPal then takes somewhere between 3 and 5% depending on the situation. Finally, some of the revenue must be spent for postage and materials to ship the item to the customer.

Here is my experience - I'll use Mario Kart 64 as an example:

Scenario 1 - Sell Mario Kart 64 on eBay
Buy It Now price: $17.00
Shipping: $3.00
Total received from buyer: $20.00
eBay fees: -$2.55
PayPal fees (2.9% + $0.30): -$0.88
Shipping cost: -$2.50
Padded envelope and label: -$0.50
Net revenue: $13.57 (68% of total sale price)

Scenario 2 - Sell Mario Kart 64 at PRGE
Sale price: $16.00 (20% less than the buyer would pay on eBay)
Your cost here is harder to calculate. You have to amortize your expenses across all of your sales. Obviously the more you sell, the better your expenses are per-purchase. The bottom line is that you now have $16 cash in your hand.

Pros of selling at PRGE (or any game expo for that matter):
- You make more and your buyers save too. In the scenario above, you save $2.43 (minus some part of your show expenses) and the buyer saves $4.
- Buyer gets to examine the game first.
- You can make all sales final at the show so there are no "forced returns" or buyer scams like on eBay.
- You get to talk face-to-face to a bunch of AWESOME gamers as they shop your stuff.

One caveat: On rarer games and hardware, I start at full retail (if you can figure out what that is). There is no reason to take a bath on the good stuff. Something like a boxed SNES Chrono Trigger or a rare prototype will generally earn a solid price at PRGE. You can always cut someone a deal if they buy a lot from you.

If you have a REALLY rare item or two, you can always put them in the live auction. Some attendees did really well in the auction last year and we expect a much larger crowd this time since it is on Saturday night instead of Sunday.

I hope this helps and I look forward to seeing you at the show.

Chuck aka RecycledGamer

[mobiusclimber]

Rick - I'm definitely going to be selling. I wouldn't be able to go to the show otherwise, actually. :) And if I sell $500 worth of stuff I'll be happy. LOL

y-bot - I understand what you're saying. Part of my problem is that I do way more sales on Amazon, which means the fees are higher but so is the sale price (on most games). Import titles especially. Amazon is basically nothing but Ebay BINs. It's just slow as hell (which is probably just like Ebay BINs). So it's going to be tough to adjust the prices. I'm going to have to do a lot of research to get ready for this since a lot of stuff I don't even know what it sells for on Ebay.

Chuck - That makes sense, but it means I'd have to sell quite a lot of stuff just to make it worth it. If I spend $100 on expenses and only get $2.50 more per sale than I normally would, I'd have to make over 40 sales to see any gain. What I'm hoping is that I make a lot of sales. Even if I don't get as much money as I normally would, getting a lot of sales all at once will be nice. The other thing is that I have a lot of weird, rare, or "collector" things that don't sell as easily in the other places I sell stuff (like repros or pirates, as a for instance).

As far as dealing with "idiots on Ebay" I really haven't had too much bad luck. Knock on wood, I guess.

[swlovinist]

Videgame oddities are most welcome at our show. Others have said some great things, I will add my two cents: We have several vendors that have expressed in the past the same things. Most who have been vendors in the past have commented after the show that they were profitable and have continued to be longtime vendors. Almost everyone who has been a vendor in the past has continued to be a part of our show, and many commented surprise at their sales. The bottom line is that vendors with reasonable prices do VERY well at our show. I would much rather sell at a videogame venue than deal with ebay and its current state.

[mobiusclimber]

Ok one more question: How well do commons sell there? Should I even bother to bring a box of cheap NES/SNES/PS1/PS2/etc games or are people only going to be looking for rarer items?

[swlovinist]

Commons can sell, espically for NES/SNES systems. Typically games that have been discontinued by Gamestop do very well at our show. Are we talking sports titles or non sport titles?

[mobiusclimber]

I have a mix of sports and non-sports (tho I think NES-era sports games aren't viewed the same way as, say, Madden is, especially black box games). For PS1 & PS2, I don't think I have any sports titles (except a few "extreme sports" ones).

[nhm]

Ok one more question: How well do commons sell there? Should I even bother to bring a box of cheap NES/SNES/PS1/PS2/etc games or are people only going to be looking for rarer items?

Non-sports commons sell OK. You will see lots of people looking over checklists to see if they need something. Movie license games sell well, no matter how common or bad the game is. I remember selling a copy of Back to the Future (NES) to a guy who said "I remember this game! It's horrible!" And then he bought it.

I wouldn't price my commons above $2.

I have a great idea for vendors to get rid of commons (I have tons). How about a grab bag? We have a few rare or valuable games in a big grab bag filled with commons. We charge $3-4. per grab. The grabber keeps whatever game they pull out. If we have some good prizes, you can have a "proxy" in the bag for the prize. There's tons of ways to spin it. You end up giving out some great stuff, while gaining a little compensation for your commons.

Just an idea...

[nhm]

Well, this event thread deserves a bump! Here's a short list of notable items that I am bringing to sell, with tentative prices:

Genesis Model 2's w/controller, cords: $20
Sega CD Model 2's: $30 without power supply, $40 with power supply
32x: $40
FC Mobile 2: $40

Sweet! nice items!

[Bskull]

I notice that this year's event has a lot of system link multiplayer. I am going to be acquiring an official Dreamcast vs link cable (system link cable) and I don't really own another dreamcast to test the cable out with. So, would it hurt to bring the cable to the show and test it with two of copies of "Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram" (a.k.a VOOT)? If I manage to find an alternative solution, I will edit this post. I would also like to know if it could be possible to discuss the probability of using the cable, if it works, to link 2 Dreamcasts for competitive play next year as there are 6 games that work with the cable.

Edit: I have tested the system link cable by buying another Dreamcast plus another copy of VOOT. The cable works fine.

[swlovinist]

Space is always an issue. I would love to have a system linked Dreamcast out for people to play. You are always most welcome to bring those items, but remember that free console area is set for anyone to play. If consoles are out in the free console play area, we are not liable for anything that happens for them, and they cannot be exclusive for only select people to play on. You are always most welcome to seach for your items that you need at our show. We have several ongoing discussions throughout the year on what to have available for the public to play on. Several tough decisions are made onto what gets cut and what gets put out for the public to play. If you dont already know, I am a huge Sega collector and avid Sega fan. I wish i had an easier answer for you, other than I would love to have it at our show, if I knew we had the space and the other conditions met.

[Bskull]

I know. That's why I am shooting more for next year or later. If not, on any event, I am completely OK with that call. I would rather spend a couple of minutes testing the cable, disconnect the system link cable, and then let others use the Dreamcasts while I shop around. I will have more money this year so I really hope that I get something interesting this time.

[coreys429]

This year I am bringing some rare boxed items to the show including a boxed Coleco Adam Computer, Odyssey 1, Odyssey 2, TI 99, and other games and what not. I am going to bring the most random games and what not for this show.

[Bskull]

I'll have to check it out then. I am kinda interested in systems/games that were not usually known in the market.

[swlovinist]

I also will be hopefully done with my third DVD collectors video, The Nuts and Bolts to Videogame Collecting Vol. 3 Sega Systems. I will be making only 30 Limited Edition copies of it, and it will debut at our show. Unlimited editions of Vol. 1 and Vol 2 will also be on hand for sale. Vol 1. Covers Obscure consoles of the 70s to mid 80s. Vol 2 covers Nintendo Home Systems. For any fan of Sega, it will be an awesome collectors DVD. It should run at least 80 min and be filmed in HD video. I have had alot of fun making these DVDs and have had some very positive feedback from those who have bought them.

[Bskull]

I look forward to watching vol. 3 as I too am an avid Sega fan. Vol. 1 and 2 still sound interesting though.

[mobiusclimber]

I'm thinking about trying to dump some of my system boxes. I don't want them but I can't just throw them away either. XD And no way am I going to mail them. I just wish the expo was sooner cuz I really want them out of my house already! (Just moved, so now they're bothering me b/c I had to take them w/ me.)

[Bskull]

I look forward to the event this year as well. Last year was awesome as I never knew that we had so many retro gamers in this state.

[Eric Dude]

How perfect that this thread was bumped- this is what I was just coming to check on.

I'm thinking about making a list of odd stuff I need; just can't remember what that stuff was just now. Doh!

What boxes do you have? Do they have styrofoam or the cardboard trays? I'm bringing a bunch of loose systems, so if I can match them up with boxes that would be great.

[mobiusclimber]

I have the following boxes in very good condition:

Wii
Xbox 360
Mega CD 2
Black DS Lite (have to check & make sure this is vg, I think it is)

I have the following in good to fair condition:

NEC Interface Unit
PS2 Singstar Edition (ceramic white)

And free with purchase:

NEC PC-FX

I'm asking $5 apiece. Some have the insert and some don't, so if you're interested in anything, ask and I'll check. :)

[Shai'tan]

I'll be going this year as well... hope to see some sega cd stuff there :)

[Arasoi]

I'll be there this year, looking forward to a great weekend of retro goodness.

[nhm]

I'll be going this year as well... hope to see some sega cd stuff there :)

What Sega CD stuff are you looking for? I'll be bring some games and systems.

[Bskull]

I am just hoping to find a fully working used Sega Saturn Twin-Stick controller for my Saturn to Dreamcast converter.

[recycledgamer]

Just a reminder: tickets for the Portland Retro Gaming Expo are available online up until the 15th. Buy online and get in an hour early on Saturday.

I'm hoping to buy a lot of arcade boards at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo this year. Specifically boards I can run on my setup, 4 button / 2 player / horizontal screen. Looking for CPS2 (Mars Matrix, Alien Vs Predator), MVS (MOTW), and whatever else catches my fancy.

I'm hoping to buy a lot of arcade boards at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo this year. Specifically boards I can run on my setup, 4 button / 2 player / horizontal screen. Looking for CPS2 (Mars Matrix, Alien Vs Predator), MVS (MOTW), and whatever else catches my fancy.

You should post in this thread on klov:

Several arcade collectors are coming and maybe you can get them to bring something for you.

See you all in a week!

Man, I have so much work to do this week to get ready. But I can't wait. It's gonna be a great show. Looking forward to seeing everyone again and hopefully plenty of new faces this year too.

I am stressed in prepping for the show. Currently at 1:40am in the morning I am restoring Atari 2600 Paddles for the Atari Tournament on Sunday
