Vendors at Worlds

[juniormccracken]

I have heard there is just going to be 1 vendor at World. I have 2 questions. 1, can anyone confirm that there is only going to be one vendor there? Also, is there anyone going to be buying bulk there?

Thanks!

The only vendor at Worlds is TPCI itself, and given that they only sell Merch, there are no card vendors at Worlds.
(Edit: At least, this has always been true)

I was at a local card store yesterday and they said they are going to be a vendor at worlds.

They better watch out. I hear they are giving out the Ban Hammer on people who try to do this. There are people who are walking around with suitcases full of merchandise...

I remember being at San Diego, and the Japanese players set their wares down on the floor almost immediately outside the tournament hall. I don't think any of them moved the entire weekend.

There were quite a few people kicked out this year for selling.

Yeah, selling was not taken to lightly at all this year.

I know a few people who had binders of cards they were selling only. Would something like have been allowed even though they maybe wouldn't have been in just one specific place trying to sell them? Just curious.

As far as I'm aware, any selling at all inside the convention center was illegal. Outside of the official store, of course.

There were a lot of people selling, in the open gaming area.
If they closed peoples shops, or they kicked people out - I didn't see any of this.

They supposedly removed a few people, and they definitely closed down some operations before the announcement against selling on Friday night.

I didn't hear this announcement, some people were selling in open gaming the entire weekend.

Well, Friday night Dave Schwimmer made a nice loud announcement, and anyone who was selling was doing so at their own peril.
