Our first show vending, and a lot of lessons learned right away. Our booth location was at the back of the arena, but in the path of where vendors walked in. Thus, we had a lot of vendor traffic before the show opened.
A well-known Whatnot personality cleaned out almost everything we bought at The National and a bunch of value bin cards before the show opened. I actually put one case back in the car. The good news was that $25k in revenue before the show started. The bad news was almost all of the cards that made show attendees stop and look in your case were gone.
Lesson learned is either get a higher % or limit the size of lot any one person can buy.
We picked up a nice Chase/Burrow PSA 10, a Kobe Bryant auto, a rare Aaron Judge Limited Edition rookie PSA 10, and a Ja'Marr Chase PSA 10 rookie Downtown.
