Gen Con is expensive. Crazy, crazy expensive. Hopefully it will be crazy, crazy good exposure for us and we can make more than enough sales to pay ourselves back for going.
$1,600.00 just to get the basic, no frills booth.
Sixteen HUNDRED dollars people! If we divide this cost up between three months of sales from our books it becomes semi-affordable. Still. That is a WHOLE lot of artwork and writing for game books being tossed into the booth. Probably two entire books worth…no make that more like three.
Yes, there is a cheapy booth where you sign up for “maybe” getting one at a cut rate depending on if Gen Con decides to give it to you or not. I am not a big fan of the “maybe” scenerio no matter how cheap it is.
Returning vendors also get a deal. Only $1300 for them. With the price this high it makes me wonder just how many of the other small vendors and Indie people we will see at Gen Con. Hopefully a bunch.
