Trading room suggestion?

[EnvyNeko]

Forgive me if I have misplaced this topic, buutttt

I would like to suggest a room where people can bring some items they don't want anymore and trade with others who do the same. I've never seen this done at a convention before, but I'm sure we all have a couple figures,books, and miscellaneous items just lying about.

What do you think?

I know the suggestion has come up before at a few of the convention planning meetings.

I think what stopped it from happening was various legal liabilities.

Legal liabilities? Do you know which ones? I think in order for it to work there'd have to be a lot of rules. Such as money not being allowed in trades or only allowing the trade of small items (no video games, or expensive items).

But I don't know all the specifics so it's just me blabbering on ^^;;

Well, actually, if you wanted to, you could have a trading room party. We'll have a room party board at the top of the escalator. You could post a flyer there of where/when it is. All you'd have to do in the meantime is get people together in the forums who are interested and then you can meet and trade and whatever!

That sounds pretty awesome! How does a room party work? (This is my first year going to AMKE and I've never done anything like this before at any other cons I've been to)

[Killgorr]

Well, you'll have to get people interested on the forum (preferably people that have tradable stuff) and have a gathering at either your or someone else's room - BINGO! Trading party! Draw up a flyer and post it on the board. That's about it.

Ooooh! That sounds pretty darn neat. I won't be having a room since I live closeby, but I'll see just how much hype I can get up for this! Thank you for the idea!
