We added a fourth credit card machine and processed seller payouts and TAB pickups right at the computer station, like last year. This saved buyers and sellers from traipsing all the way across the room to pay or pickup their money.
In addition we added some wireless bar-code scanners and two laptop/tablet computers that were used to check out TAB buyers.

We again had no on-site registrations – and zero complaints!
The big change this year was a new feature to our software to help with helping TAB buyers to pick up their items. We added a third credit card machine and processed seller payouts and TAB pickups right at the computer station. This saved buyers and sellers from traipsing all the way across the room to pay or pickup their money.
After the convention we received a thank-you from “Second Helpings”. See the note here.

This was the second year that there were no on-site registrations. We had a few frustrated would-be sellers who still hadn’t gotten the word, but overall the sellers seem to appreciate it because of the advantages I spelled out last year:
1) Faster setup for us on Wednesday (no need to setup 4+ extra computers and printer)
2) Faster drop-off for sellers (since we had everything setup and ready to roll, and we didn’t have to spare anyone to help those entering items) !
3) Less congestion in the room of people waiting with stacks of games to get to the on-site computers.
I think that all the sellers who pre-registered would agree that check-in went VERY smoothly this year.
In addition we added another credit card machine – this allowed us to keep one over by item intake during the busiest times (Wednesday and Thursday morning). This minor change saved many a seller the extra steps needed if the only credit card machine was over by the registers.

This was the first year we did away with on-site registrations. Overall the result and reception was positive. Unfortunately there were a few attendees who didn’t get notified and were disappointed that they couldn’t register their games on-site as they had done in the past. For those curious as to why we did away with the on-site registration, here are some of the advantages we realized:
1) Faster setup for us on Wednesday (no need to setup 4+ extra computers and printer)
2) Faster drop-off for sellers (since we had everything setup and ready to roll, and we didn’t have to spare anyone to help those entering items) !
3) Less congestion in the room of people waiting with stacks of games to get to the on-site computers.
