I think Austin Books and Comics buys them, but I'm not sure on what kind of price they'd give you.

What do you have? Any Transformers?

Nah, just a mix of Stare Wars, gaming and anime figures. I will PM you a link to some of the Craig's listings I have up for them.

Why not put up an interest check thread on here or something? I'm pretty sure anything nerdy has at least a chance of finding a buyer on here.

I would, but I don't feel like trying to ship some of this stuff. It will be larger than the usual gaming items and kind of a pain. It would be easier to sell them locally for cash at this point.

Edit: I called the owner for Gamerz in Lakeline Mall and he was really interested. I'm going to take the box by his store within the next day or so.

http://classicgamefest.com/ July 13 - 14

It looks like Game Over is going to start renting out the Palmer Events Center for Classic Game Fest. If I'm free around the middle of July, I will be attending.

Also, I'm going to hit up the SXSW Gaming Expo coming up the 2nd weekend in March (about a week from now). I will be there on the 9th when they open. Trying to get some Austin GAF folks to attend, too. Here's my thread over there if anyone else is a member and interested.

So, next Saturday at noon? I'd be up for it. I've been meaning to go the last two years, but for one reason or another, I've never been able to make it. Maybe this year, I can finally seal the deal :P :?

Yep, noon on Saturday if nothing keeps me from it. There's a good chance my wife will be in tow.

Sorry, I totally forgot to update this. I'm pretty sick and my doctor said to stay inactive this weekend. My weekend is shot.

Just got a message from Redline9 and he's at the expo.
