    It's so true. Don't buy anything expensive until Sunday because you will get it a hundred dollars off.

    you're = you are
    your = belonging to you

    their = belonging to them
    there = not here
    they're = they are

    This is all so true,I used to stock up on trades and figures at the end because they were all at least 50% off.

    But some things you just have to buy early, because they will probably be gone by Sunday!

    And why would he? A lightsaber with jayne's knit hat? That is most definitely NOT canon.

    Yeah, I'm going to have to go ahead and agree with the others about the virtue of patience.

    That said, my first con ever was a little over six weeks ago and I'm a grown-ass man, but holy cow ... You get swept away.

    She also sold her Rudolf nose.

    This "Wait Until The Last Day" advice is starting to become obsolete though. I waited until Sunday to buy stuff at AX and the prices were pretty much the same. With the economy as is, there's less and less reason to wait until the last day to buy at the convention.
    In fact, scarcity hits even harder, as the first day I saw at least 5 booths with a certain figure for $35, and on the last day I only found 1 booth with that very same figure marked up to$65, and another figure I saw on day 1 went from $60 to $90 on the last day.

    Tycho's advice is sound, assuming you really want to stick around a convention Sunday when all the vendors are desperate and starting to pack up. Personally I've always found staying until the bitter end at such events somewhat depressing.

    On the plus side, that hat will really help with her cold ears.

    Patience became my favorite virtue the day I realized it's really just a form of not caring.

    I always get my PAX t-shirt on Friday because they always run out. Straight cash, too, 'cause it's a lot faster.

    I really, really love how Tycho talks to Ann. It's like there's a knob in his head labeled IMPORT and he turns it up to eleven whenever she's around.

  • QuidQuid Definitely not a banana Registered User regular
    Also if there's one thing going well with this run it's the faces.

    My first impression was Scott Pilgrim too, but the tassels kinda give it away.

    That's conventions 101

    Never purchase until the last day unless it's some limited edition thing you will die without, because that may sell out. If you wait, you will get their merchandise and their soul for at least 50% off.

    Ann will learn. Tycho's lesson will eventually take hold.

    I just watched the episode where he gets the hat last night, so it was immediately apparent to me.

    My usual strategy for not spending money at any convention is to make sure that I am all out of money right before I attend said convention.

    This is also why I missed out on the Dickbutt tattoos.

    Unfortunately, the last time I went to a convention was one day after payday.

    The next two weeks were kinda sparse.

    Thinkgeek used to see the hat.

    Don't think they do now, but you can likely find them on amazon or etsy.
