It's good if you want a fixed price for the item but don't want to put it in the Auction itself (sort of like Ebay stores vs Ebay auctions) So the Auction Store is full of items from the very first hour of the con. A good strategy is to take a cruise through the Auction Store first thing Thursday morning to nab anything that might have been placed withing and underpriced. Last year I had about 100 items in the auction store and they actually sold pretty well compared to the auction itself.Mike B.

You've really been helping this GenCon newbie out!So, if I may ask one more question - what are some of the good "regulars" in the dealer's room that will be selling/usually sells older D&D product? Someone mentioned a few back before, but was that list comprehensive?
