>-What was your first time selling like? Were you prepared?
I maybe made $20 profit after splitting a table 3 ways with some college mates. All I had were some KH buttons and bookmarks. I wasn't prepared with change which I remember being the biggest headache.

>-Post a picture of your AA setup!
Here's my first table from mentioned above, and my table from last weekend, which was a mild disaster and tape was my saviour. But I really liked what I did with the keychains and button display.

>-What's the best con you've sold at? Worst con? How much did you make?
Best con: Anime North 2015: +3K profit
Worst con: Fan Expo back in 2010: -$100

>-What's your favorite thing to make and sell, besides prints?
My DS cases, now that I have the silhouette cameo cutter it's a breeze now :)

>-What's the weirdest thing you've seen being sold at an AA?
there was a table a couple years ago that I saw which created life scale fake food. I don't know too many people that would want to buy a fake full size cake.

>-What's the most creative thing you've seen being sold at an AA?
There's a crafter at Anime North that creates anime/game related shadow boxes that are small scenes and they're super impressive.

>-What are some beginner AA mistakes you made?
-didn't bring change
-didn't bring snacks (had to spend most of my cash on expensive con food)
-didn't bring a lot of stock

Thank god my friend had done it before and was willing to help me out with change
