A question I was hoping any of the lucky people who made it to the convention could help answer: is it such that the convention increases the availability of merchandise or does it make all the good stuff become even harder to find?
Thanks.

I believe it makes items more readily available.

I don’t really know… basically the only discworld merc at the con, outside of the auction, was books and fan merc, (also Buffy and stargate but thats not disc) the auction had some really rally great stuff but it was too expensive for the plebs so all in all i think i would rather buy disc stuff over the net. Just one opinion.
whoever said nothing is impossible, never tried slamming a revolving door….

Abee raises some good points – there wasn’t much stuff for sale beyond the core books, if you ignore the auction. We’d like to remedy that next time around, but it’s not easy.
As for the UK Cons, though, items are definitely more readily available.

Re. general collecting:
If things become more readily available, but want bragging rights, look for limited edition and first edition runs.If we can hit this bullseye, all the dominos will fall like a house of cards…checkmate!
