This is it!

I'm up at 5! I'm getting showered and dressed! I'm loading up the truck! I'm selling crap at The Swap Meet!

This is just a test run. Mostly Garage Sale stuff. If things work out today I'll start getting more serious, giving myself more than 48-hours to prepare and whatnot. Maybe it could even develop in to a miniature Comic Shop type thing for the weekends... who knows? No comics this weekend, though... this week is all about STUFF.

Next weekend is FREE COMIC BOOK DAY across the Nation and even over in to other less-civilized parts of The World (Canada and England), but I won't need to be up till 10am for that :)

And then the weekend after that is EMERALD CITY COMIC CON!!! Conveniently scheudled for the weekend after my Birthday!!!

The weekends, they are full.

i hate free comic book day, last year the only 2 comic book stores only let you have 1 or 2. not fair.

We have a chunk of geeky gamer type stuff that may need to find new homes. (books, cards, that sort of thing) What would you suggest for the lowest cost, best profit way to unload such things?

I think I will be going both days to ECCC

You're right! How DARE they only let you have a few free comic books!

Oh, wait.. they're *free*!

Kinda like saying that you hate free samples oat Costco because they don't give you the entire pizza, just that little slice!

Gaming stuff goes really well on Ebay; that's where I'd sell it.

...Or you could just *donate* it to a likable captain that you might know :)

WOOT! That'll ROCK!

but what if i really wanted 3 or 4 of the comics!
at costco you could atleast go back for more, gotta try something a few times before buying :p

Ahh, I see... are you in Washington State? i forget...

Come to The Comic Stop in Lynnwood (right across the street from the Alderwood Mall), they let you take as many of the comics as you want. They rock! They even just sent out an E-Mail telling everybody that they can come and take as many as they want, so it's not going to be a wild goose chase for you!

Are you setting up a table this year or just attending as a slack jaw on looker like me?

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

Just a slack-jaw onlooker. Tables are $400!

That sucks :(

Borrow some kids form friends/family! Take a car load, make them pay you one of their comic books in exchange for the ride!
