Did his buddy still show up? I have talked to those guys many times, I would guess Paul had some health issues and greatly slowed down.

Yes, I was there this year. At first, I was on a wait list for one table ($180 for three days). They called me just 5-days prior to the first day and I had to shuffle my "ass-ets" in gear. My table was in the back of the show on the south side along McDowell, somewhat removed from the big buildings at the entrance and the SAR building to the west.

I was selling personal stuff that i have accumulated over the last three decades. Flow was okay on Saturday. Not too busy where it was chaotic, but more controllable (conversational...). When you put a bunch of stuff on a table that is approximately 34x96 all of a sudden it seems very small. Not too many other platforms to sell stuff in mass without the shipping cost being too exuberant. I managed to liquidate some stuff but not to profit as I had purchased items at various times at higher prices. It is very hard to compete with the mega vendors that have thousands of magazines for sale at every corner of the show. Wow! is all i could say at the time. So many magazines - unbelievable.

Oh well. It was a long day and I was the last to leave my building since I was not returning Sunday.

P.S. $18 dollar Beer right out front of my building with a constant line all day...another Wow! factor.

I was in the same building.
Saturday was my slowest day by far. Did three times as much on Friday and twice as much on Sunday.

No, I didn't see see Paul's associate there. There was just two new guys in the spot who were happy to get it.
