I'm thinking of reducing my collection by bringing items to VCF Midwest.
I attended once six or seven years ago.
Of course a great deal depends on what I'm selling, so I'll build a list.
Possibles include Micro PDP-11, Microvax II, Vaxstations, Kaypro 1,
CBM, Amiga, Atari, Apple, some S-100 boards.
Is there anyone here who sold at a previous VCF Midwest? How did it go?
If there's only 150 attendees, is selling more like exhibiting?
Ideally I'd like to come home with an empty van.

It's a buyer's market if you ask me, but a large volume of stuff moves
there. MW is the biggest swap of the VCF's.

Depending on your prices, I think you'll do very well. There have always
been a good number in attendance, and those items should be very desirable
for many attendees (myself possibly included).

Looks like I will be coming. It's too late to exhibit though, right? I
was going to whip together little suitcase exhibit about the origins of the
internet featuring the honeywell ddp-516

Hello John - I'm the lead organizer for VCFMW and we'd be happy to
have you (and your hardware) out at our show. VCFMW has changed a lot
since you (and even Bill D) last attended - we have a new location
with about double the floor space and our attendance has grown in
proportion. Our tables are all booked up and the free-for-all space in
the side vendor room is probably nearly there, too, so I can't
guarantee you a table, so I'd suggest compiling a list, if possible,
and posting it here and on our local mailing list at
http://chiclassiccomp.org to arrange sales ahead of time for delivery
at the show. Of course, if space opens up (even floor space, if you
bring a table), you're welcome to bring things in to sell, or even
sell out of your van in the parking lot. We're all about the trading
and swapping.
If you have items of lesser value that don't seem to generate
interest, you may also consider donating them to our fundraiser
auction which happens on Saturday afternoon. Be sure to attend either
way - I hear it's quite the spectacle ;)
Any more questions, feel free to email me directly. Hope to see you there!
