Quoted from Whysnow:

sorry you misunderstood what I was saying...
'A pinhead show' meaning that the vast majority of people were collectors and those that appreciate the finer aspects of game quality, restorations, rare stuff, etc... It is fun to go to hobbyist shows like that where you can nerd out and learn and genuinely connect with other like minded people.
'A general public show' is what many of these are becoming. Basically a pop up arcade where it is mass promoted to the general publoc and the vast majority in attendance are their for entertainment and not to nerd out as a hobbyist.
Both are fine and dandy. Just pointing out how any show going through growing pains and changes could be alarming for those that go expecting the first and arrive to the second.
Keep in mind that as a person bringing a game and supporting a show, the audience can greatly impact your decision to bring a game.
Also keep in mind that when people bringing games are only compensated with a minimal amount but those same games are the major drawn bringing in big ticket sales for an event... it starts to change the dynamic for some.

Little different, but twice I had to finish off the last 2 balls on some EMs. The were set for 5 balls and I'm guessing the people just left after 3 thinking the game was over. Luckily no line to play, so nobody thought I as hogging the game.

Quoted from Syco54645:

Last time I was there a vendor inside was selling shooter assemblies that were rusted and cracked for $40. Used star posts were $4 or $5 each. This was not simple rounding.
