Thanks to everyone (too many to name!) for another excellent VCF East. The talks, exhibits, management, and so much more were great. I have some suggestions: Food: Having a decent onsite food vendor with a variety of edibles for everyone was well-received by many, and it kept people from leaving the event for food. Their prices were kinda high, but I doubt we could do much better. More vegetarian food options (veggie hoagies, veggie burgers?) would be welcome. Consignment: Despite some bugs in the Nexopos label-printing system (which I reported last week; maybe they can be fixed for next year) my overall impression is the larger space with lots of tables and shelves was way better than before. The space was filled with people and tons of vintage equipment! Next year having even more tables and shelving units would be prudent, because word will spread and more sellers and buyers will come next year. Allowing everyone to look up what's for sale in Nexopos would be nice, so it would be more like an Easter egg hunt. I had a ZEBRA/MOTOROLA TC510K 'walk away'. But an alert and thoughtful consignment staffer noticed it abandoned where buyers line up to pay and he looked up the label info in the system and called my mobile phone to tell me about it. So I was able to come and get it back. Bravo! Preventing items from 'walking away' without being paid for is challenging. Having items checked against a receipt at the exit could work, but would cause a bottleneck and other problems. RFID tags with a de-activator at POS and a sensor/alarm at the exit would be costly, and thieves could simply remove the RFID tag. Maybe some overhead cameras and a DVR could record who's walking out with what for later review. We could have Security volunteers (who don't look like volunteers) walking around covertly watching for 'shrinkage'. I think it would be good to have a 'public' computer there running the Nexpos system for folks to enter items they brought in at the last minute and didn't have time to enter. I brought in my modified Tandy 102 w/TPDD2 drive and a 1974 Commodore RPN calculator at the last minute, but didn't have time to enter them into the system beforehand. Someone asked me, but selling stuff 'under the table' would've deprived VCF of a commission. Speaking of commissions, about how much was earned from Consignment? Sellers: Not everyone can come to VCF multiple days. I could only come Saturday and bringing my items in for consignment that morning was complicated. Later I was told I couldn't be paid for my hundreds of dollars of consignment sales till Sunday--when I'd be 100 miles away. I'd specified 'cash' in the system. There should be a way for sellers to pick up their money at the end of each day, or have a drone or homing pigeon deliver their cash the next day. -bernieS
