It went pretty well! I took a nice leisurely 90 minute drive out to Cambridge, and got setup about a half-hour prior to the opening.



I took the above shot just before they opened the doors, which turns out to be the last chance I got to take pictures. (In all honesty, I really wanted to walk around and take a bunch of pics, but got so caught up in the show that I forgot.)

There were mostly tables set up with people selling consoles and cartridges, but that's really all I saw. It was more of a gaming swap meet, and there were definitely distinct groups who visited - most of the attendees would either take a wide path to avoid my table to jump from console table to console table to either side of me, or they'd beeline over as soon as they saw what I had brought.

All in all, I sold quite a bit of stock, and met a number of great CGCC forum members. I'd definitely attend again.

Ha! (Actually, I got $50 and out early on good behaviour.)

;)

No, but not for lack of trying. There were a few people who thought it was "cool" but didn't have a need for it, and one person who marveled in the construction of it. (I was incredibly happy of all the things he noticed.)

My biggest failing was in the presentation of it. I didn't have a good demo, didn't have a label, didn't have a sign, and didn't even have it on the price list. I'm sure that if I had presented it properly, with an open kit someone could see prior to construction, and fully functional playing some games on a TV, that I would have had more success. I kicked myself the minute I set it up for forgetting all of that.

Hey Rick, I think you actually short-charged me (the beardo) by $20 for my 2x joy's and 14x buttons, unfortunately I realized after I'd already left (I think you asked for $45 instead of $65?)... shoot me your paypal address, and I'll send it over.
