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.
