Re: The None of My Business Question of the Day! How much Cash do you bring to TFCON?

since there's going to be a lot of 3rd party merch I'll be wanting, and likewise some expensive G1 things, I'm leaning to bring 1250...1500 this year.

having a job is awesome

I'll probably bring $200, lunch money will be taken out of that. I plan to leave with money still in my pocket. Once again, mainly going for the convention part of it instead of going there to shop.

I usually have a list of things and I'll pick 2-3 things off that list to buy, so 200-300 (for whatever reason, the things I buy tend to be around $100 each).

yeah I'd say $1000 as a max, but bring whatever you can. you never know you might see that $500 toy you've been looking for lol. I brought $300 or so as an average the 3 years i've gone and it wasn't quite enough come sunday. hopefully i'll have more this year

Re: The None of My Business Question of the Day! How much Cash do you bring to TFCON?

Well, the first few years I went to TFCon, I only brought about $300. Spent it all and wished I brought more.

The next couple years, I think I brought twice that. And still managed to spend it all.

Last 2 years I brought $800-$1000 and I didn't spend any of it. In fact, I came back with more than what I left with due to all my meet-up sales and lack of anything in the dealer room I was interested in.

This year I'm probably just gonna bring $500. Mainly because the only thing I'm looking for is a TFC Hercules. I'm hoping to get one for $400 if I can, but I know that's probably a dream. But I'm definitely not spending more than $500 on him.

Re: The None of My Business Question of the Day! How much Cash do you bring to TFCON?

Couple of recommendations I can make for budgeting for a con.

1) Know what you want before hand, and do your due diligent research, check up on ebay what those desired items roughly go for and bring that amount.

2) Maybe bring an extra one or two hundred because you never know what other crazy stuff you weren't anticipating to get but will want when presented in front of you with the right price.

Re: The None of My Business Question of the Day! How much Cash do you bring to TFCON?

I cross the line at $300,but since I have no common sensibility in a Convention whatsoever,I end up going on $500 each TFCon.

This year,I may get up to $1000 the most.
