This is your first sale, but you've advertised for awhile now. I always assumed you were selling the heck out of them. I think maybe this item will sell better when seen in-person, but a table price might be a bit much to recover. Some of the folks here have mentioned that vending at a convention is primarily an exercise in figuring out how low you can come down on your prices. Perhaps split a table with someone? or rent a little space on someone else's table kinda' thing?.. with online order instructions, and one or two lightboxes sitting there.As for which images would sell, I think you'd have to pretty much hit all the bases that the convention is focused on. Assuming the image can be changed on your lightbox once it's made? Take a look at the conventions photos from the previous year, especially paying attention to the "flavor" of the costumes present. Be sure to also look at the guests coming this year, and cater towards it.. Getting a signed piece into your lightbox might be worth it to some folks. Many folks are drawn there for the autographs, so obviously they like the stuff these people were in.Your lightbox reminds me of most is Saw and hostel, or post apocalyptic film.. If I had the room and decor for that kinda' thing.. I'd want a static-covered image of the Doll from Saw looking into the camera, like a scene from where he's giving directions to the victim. or like a survellance image from Hostel, maybe a Mad Max poster. Hellraiser might also go good with it, depending upon the picture.Dunno' just some thoughts.. hope it helps.

I agree with maybe sharing a table, but not with only brining two light boxes and offering online billing instructions. Is ay if you do it, try to split a table with someone or find something else to offer, but bring as many boxes as you can afford to make, if they sell well you want to have a lot on hand, and a lot of people aren't going to leave a convention and log online and buy things. You may be selling them for a few bucks cheaper most likely. Also, watch the guest list and movies the guests are from, and the big new movies coming out (H2, nightmare remake, friday, etc), and us that along with other obvious favorites to decide what types of boxes to show.

yeah for the most part when people at shows pick up a card , they don't go to the site and order anything as they are there at the show to buy things while there . i don't know how big your boxes get but maybe bring 1 or 2 of those and more of some smaller ones so you have room for them and that way the people can see that they can have different sizes to choose from . also a good idea is to see which celebs will be at the show and then make a box from the movie they were in as it may draw their attention and they'll prob. even buy one from you . i've seen it happen plenty of times <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":thumbsup:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"thumbsup.gif\" /> . now where do you live as i know of some horror cons coming up around my area so you wouldn't have to wait til next year unless that's what you wanna do . mike,
