Here is your chance to sell stuff that has been gathering dust at the back of your cupboard for years, get some cash for it, and allow you to grab some bargains in turn. Convert your unwanted games into cash, and then go and buy someone else's unwanted games or spend your newfound cash with our vendors and sponsors! Invest a few hours in your games closet hunting through your backlog and gather a swag of goodies you are not likely to want. For a small fee, we will advertise your merchandise at our table and hopefully make you some money! For all the details, see the Bring and Buy event listing. fmgcon.com/bring-buy Make sure you check out the rest of the scheduled events while you're there.

$30 USD for a day? Good grief. Big drive + big fee = no Dano de Mano. |
No longer can support TMP | 08 Aug 2014 1:45 p.m. PST |
Yeah, I find the price a bit steep too, especially considering I don't know how many games I would be interested in playing. Currently, their schedule looks a little light on miniatures games. |

Well, I'd love to drive Up North, but it's now Drill Weekend for my Guard unit. I love how they change stuff to the EXACT weekend I really want to do something special. Eric |
