all in all it was a great time and you couldnt beat the admission price...free! it was only an hour and a half drive for me so it wasnt too bad and people came from all over. drwily even drove 20+ hours from florida to get there! if you missed it this year try to get there next year and you wont regret it!

I'm in the VB shirt, you like it don't you 8-) .
Well I know I had a good time and sold ~$126 of stuff and only had 1/3 of the money left afterwards.
The best things for me were that I sold all my C64 stuff for $50 and I picked up a ROB with all the Gyromite things for $10. I got 2 clocks from Sniderman and they are great. The only thing I missed was a brand new Sega CD 1 for $20 sold by drwily008, which he was next to me.
The only thing I hate is that they are going to move it next year and I only live 15 minutes from Lorain :( .

Soooo pissed I wasn't able to make it. I was going to bite the bullet and bring the kids when I found out that my eldest had a soccer game at 7 that night. Glad a good time was had by all.

i know i could have killed ken for selling that so low! @_@

[Mr.collection]

...Where is it going to be next year?
Nobody knows they just know it may happen because the place they had it was packed and no more room for other people to setup.
I was going to ask what he wanted for it but I thought he would want ~$60 and I did not need it.

[Captain J]

same here i really didnt need it but i still would of bought it for $20!

[Captain J]

i actually just got a message from thomas, the guy that runs the show regarding next year and here is the official message!

Greetings! :)

Thank you for linking to the show on the message.

In the replies to your message, there is a question about when the next show is. It is May 26, 2007. Same place. The time may change. :)

I'm in the VB shirt, you like it don't you 8-)

i was going to comment on that shirt, i thought it was pretty cool, i actually have a virtual boy jean jacket!

[Mr.collection]

The shirt was my mother's cause she worked at Sears at that time so I have the shirt, hat, pen and a light display sign. The VB that I have is even from Sears but I bought it at a flea market. I'll buy the jacket off you. :-P

[Captain J]

No way man, a nintendo rep thats a friend of mine gave me it about 7 years ago and ill never part with it! i have never even wore it! @_@

[drwily008]

Cool pictures Joe, I just got back to Florida from my trip to Ohio. I had lots of fun and got to meet some really cool people.

I was VERY satisfied with the trip and will try very hard to go next year.

I got some really cool items (my favorites were the Neo-Geo games and the 5 Game & Watches).

Thanks to everyone for being so accomadating!
