    Great con, lost 20 lbs in sweat and might have got heat stroke but worth it

    Awesome seeing the process of running a con, and glad to hear it was even more of a success than last year! Crazy to hear about the AC scenario, but looks like everyone still had a blast. Hoping to make it out there for a con one day man!

    Besides the A/C problem, it was a great con! There was a lot more space to move around compared to last year. I picked up a jungle green n64 and couple other things. It was a blast! I plan on going every year!

    Going to this was like a cartoon episode. I came looking for a SNES copy of chrono trigger spent a good while looking just to find out the guy at the very beginning near the pinball machines had it. It was before we even went in and we went on a wild goose chase, super fun and I hope we have another one next year!

    i dont find it fair that trades can be happening already before opening times. whatever is on the floor there has to be there for the guests too to keep it fair. people paid enough money to come there and then just to get like the half offerered on stuff. then people brag about it that all good stuff is gone. nice going. i disliked it so much. it was disappointing to come from so far to hear that when entering a convention.

    • @ArkansasPicker
      @ArkansasPicker  2 месяца назад +1

      I'm sorry you feel this way. But I definitely understand. Unfortunately this happens at every single convention on the planet. Even if I made a rule "No trading before doors open" there would be no way of stopping people from doing it or really enforcing it.

    • @RetroGamesBeyond

      @@ArkansasPicker Thanks. Yes I know. That is what I also meant in my post. I saw this in Europe and I felt so odd going inside then. Good consoles were gone already. That is what I came for that day. When they do, why yelling it out when regular folks come in. That happend that day I went - for the very first time to such event - and I was a bit sad about that behaviour. I wont forget that moment.
