A suggestion for those going to WBC: "math trade"

I will be at the WBC for a few days, and I'd love to trade some things if possible. I love most of my games, but I simply don't get to play most of them and would like to see my stuff get played.
Would anyone be interested in setting up some trades for WBC?
On a side note, I took a look at the tourney schedule and came to a glorious conclusion: with the exception of Can't Stop Wednesday night (I'm assistant GMing), I have very little interest in doing anything other than open gaming. I hope to game with "all the cool kids" this year...

I'm going to be working the Z-Man booth so I doubt I will get to play any tourneys in this year. I'm always up for open gaming after the dealer hall closes. Last year Uba was passing out F:AT stickers to put on our badges so we could find each other. I hope she does that again.

My tournament schedule:
Ti3 = Wednesday, Thursday (9-2) and hopefully I'll make the finals Friday (9-5)
Caylus, I don't know if I'm going to defend my championship. Round 1 conflicts with Ti3 on Thursday so I'd rather play Ti3 than play Caylus and Round 2 is Saturday night which sucks because I'd rather get drunk and play Slapshot than play 6 hours of Caylus.

We'll be there pretty much all week as well.

After that, I have about 40 wargames that I'm considering for the auction...

Could work real smooth too since I'll be working the Zman booth and that makes for a nice spot where people can meet, and then buy lots of stuff.

Dogmatix, Merchant of Venus would probably get a good price at the auction - many of the old AH games get closer to Ebay prices than other genres, like wargames, which are often more of a buyers market at WBC.

Unless you can work out the final details of the math trade well in advance, it could be tough to get people to commit, as the auction usually runs out of available lots well in advance. For cheaper stuff, the auction store has no limit on how many items, you just have to have them pre-registered a couple weeks beforehand.

I've spent a lot of money at the WBC auction over the last 3 years. What I'm hoping beyond hope is that T&T is there this year. Last year, there were *few* deals to be had because the dimwitws from the Toad were paying 30% over ebay prices for shit. I've got unsellable (on ebay) SPI flatpacks that they were coughing up $30-$40 for (like this copy of Dreadnaught that my wife has taken to calling "SellsNaught" since it's been here so long). I laughed out loud when they paid nearly $400 for GCACW On To Richmond--then borrowed the laptop of the guy next to me to get onto Noble Knight's site and buy a 70% unpunched copy for $200 right then and there.
If they aren't there, I suspect I'll be moving more of my games from the auction to the store simply to move them out of my basement.

They weren't there two years ago and it was totally a buyers market. I was able to round out my collection with some stuff that had they been there, would have been beyond my comfort zone. As a seller, you want them there. As a buyer..not so much, although it can be entertaining to watch a bidding war. A few whiners have suggested that they not be allowed to participate because it drives prices out of reach for some.
Other than two years ago they have always been there and I don't see why they won't be this year. The only change is that they stopped renting a booth in the vendors area, no doubt because the stuff they bought on Tuesday and doubled the price on didn't sell come Friday. Big shock I tell ya....
