Dang we should meet up! The vendors are fantastic. I scored several deals a few years agoA friend and I plan on attending. Our first "retro expo". We're flying in from TX and OH. Should be fun, hopefully find some cool deals.
hey dude, i heard u have experience with the gba backlight mod. my screen go dark so i tried to fiddle with the trimmer potentiameter. i broke the head of the screw off by mistake. i tried adjusting it with a safety pin and now its super bright and the colors are all messed up. i live in portland and am going. ill buy u a ticket if u can fix it for me somehow.Oddly enough, I will be in town visiting my brother and his family that weekend. I'm not sure that I'll attend, as the focus is going to be on more of the family visit. Still, I might check to see if anyone else was interested. Could be that I'll make an appearance on Sunday.

That's not true. Sunday afternoon everyone is dumping items that they don't want to take I got some decent deals in the pass. I think you still pay a premium for rare games.Lol you're not going to find any deals at a convention. You'll socialize with other gamers and be buying from resellers.
It's why I don't do many conventions. If I didn't it would be more focused on socializing and gaming parties over getting deals. Other wise to me it's a lot in travel expenses.
What did you buy?Back at work... had a great time! My first "expo" and it was almost overwhelming. I learned a lot for the next time I attend one of these events.
Spent around $400 (as much as I brought, didn't dip into the debit/credit cards.... rofl) - got a lot of stuff, and even a couple high price items.
