It is an interesting foundation for an idea. To help regulate it I think you would have to put your money down saying I am willing to pay this much for this card in this condition and if a dealer can provide the card at that price then it should be considered a done deal. That would stop a lot of random searches.
Maybe a few stock tickers planted through the place with the information scrolling? |

An app would work best where there can with a buyer and seller area.

Edited to add: Apps would help greatly for those that have it and could still be an idea, I was only pointing out that it wouldn't benefit everyone. Last edited by bn2cardz; 08-06-2013 at 12:54 PM. |

The app is the PA system. It works for everyone except those few collectors who are deaf....

I was thinking about this the other day (well something similar). What if a month or two before the National attendees submit a "wantlist" to the event organizers. The organizers then distribute the collective wantlists to the dealers. The dealers hopefully will recieve the list a couple weeks before the national and inform the organizers what they will bring on said list and, for a nominal fee, attendees can purchase back their lists with the location of the items they're looking for.
It's a win-win-win. Last edited by jhs5120; 08-06-2013 at 01:08 PM. |

Personally I wouldn't want things shouted over the PA. It's real distracting. Saturday morning I was near the Upper Deck booth when their annoying girl started screaming out endless winners from the expired redemption promotion. Finally other dealers had enough as well and had the officials shut her off.
It's hard to carry on conversations when others are blaring their news to the masses. |

Some good ideas guys. I agree the blaring PA of the card companies was annoying but maybe it was their crappy PA or annoying screechy voices.
Maybe have an announcement every 15 minutes...or 1/2 hour...or hour..."Attention...does anyone have an old judge scrappy carrol left leg showing card(I made this up)...any condition. If so pls reply with table #...we've got a motivated buyer!" Something along these lines?! I like the idea of a text. If dealer is so antequated as not to receive texts...that's their problem.

I really like the idea of an app. I understand there are some without access but I think the majority have and use frequently devices which would allow an already good experience to be augmented; it's not 1989...

How bout this....
There is one line for someone who wants to use "a personal buyer" at the National.
The "personal buyer" is one person who has real time access to a message board where a group of dealers are located (here for instance). The dealers would respond within a few minutes if they had the card this specific buyer was looking for. Set the minimum value card to be searched at around $250. If someone is serious enough, they will wait in line for this service and pay a small finders fee perhaps. Connects many dealers instantly with serious wants lists. I'll be anyone's partner who wants to start this business with me. Last edited by CaramelMan; 08-06-2013 at 02:16 PM. |

App

Positive: Engaging, interactive, definitely the wave of the future. Negative: Can be slow, cumbersome, mass numbers hit the servers at the same time slows it down considerably. In an area with poor reception like the Donald E. Stephens, that would have been a major issue. Last edited by Edwolf1963; 08-07-2013 at 10:24 AM. |
