I will be a vendor at the show selling vintage consoles and console video games. I am there every year and it's a blast. A small sample of the systems I sell games for: Atari 2600/5200/7800, PS1/PS2/PS3/XBOX, NES/SNES/N64, ColecoVision, Intellivision, GB/GBC/GBA, Game Gear and Sega Genesis. I may also have a fully working k6100 monitor for sale buy may only bring it if it's presold.
Quoted from bbhenry2000:Any of you plan on listing what you are bringing for sale prior to the show? There are several titles on my wishlist and I'd like to come home from the show with at least one of them.
I was going to bring a game for sale but the way the last two weeks are going, I may not have anything left for sale.
Quoted from bbhenry2000:If you decide to sell Funhouse, let me know first, please.
Ok I will. But you will
Change your mind once you see it. Have you ever played an unrestored Funhouse with 100k plays on it?

Quoted from wrd1972_PinDoc:Pretty confident mine wont be for sale. I actually turned down $5000 for it last year. Of course it is near mint-restored condition with a CPR PF and LED'd out with LED-OCD controllers.
If it doesn’t have over 100k plays on it, who cares? You can’t fake that patina! 
Quoted from Jones44870:Hi, I'm new too the pinball world. With that being said will there be games sold?
Yes and no. Arrive Friday at 2pm with cash in hand if you are looking to go home with a game. By Saturday, you will have much fewer machines available to buy.
Quoted from bobukcat:'d rather Lou Malnati's if we're going pizza but beggars can't be choosers
I’ve eaten both many times but Pequod's is better than both of them IMHO.
I wouldn’t start a shop job a week before and I’ve done over 90 of them. You will get stuck and feel pressured to finish and that’s just a terrible recipe for disaster.
Quoted from bobukcat:It's now on the list for me to try next time I'm up there.
Hell yes, I love their pan pizza with Italian beef and pepperoni. I have to wait two years to eat there again since I couldn’t go to expo last year. It’s so damn good. Takes about three hours counting travel time and eating there from the hotel at expo but it is so worth it. They do not take reservations and the place is small.
Quoted from Hougie:Do any of you guys know what times are good for setup tomorrow night? I plan to bring my game after a gig tomorrow around 7:30 or so.
I would suggest to get there as soon as you can. It takes longer to unload and set up a game than you think. If I remember correctly, security usually makes people clear out at midnight.

This year, the show did not disappoint! It takes a ton of hours and people to pull something like this off and in my mind, the show premise and layout is damn near perfect. I will be a vendor at this show as long as it's around. Wish I could have walked around the show more but I had customers every single minute of the show. Thank you all Pinsiders that brought a game and to the people fixing games that went down. Keeping things running is full time job at a show like this.
Quoted from bbhenry2000:Don't know how I missed you both days I was there. Would have liked to talk with you.
? I wear my Pinside nemetag at every show. I was the vendor directly in front of you, right when you walk in the show. I was at my tables 95% of the show. I was ablate to break away and watch the Junkyard and Flinstones tiebreaker games in A that my friend Michael was in though. That was awesome.
