Leave space in your luggage for all of your new PEZ. You will most likely leave with more than you came with.
Safe deposit boxes are available at the front desk. Let them know if you need one when you check in.
Bring cash. Dealers may not accept checks and most will not take credit cards. There is an ATM in the lobby by the front desk. Remember, what your daily limit is and that there are fees added to each withdrawal.
Make a list of your wants and a price range that you'd be willing to spend. It's too easy to get caught up in the moment and purchase PEZ that duplicate ones at home.
Bring your extra PEZ to sell or trade. You never know what you may be able to trade. Generally the dealers will already own all the current PEZ, but you can always find other attendees who may not.
Wear your name tag. It helps others put name to a face and the same for you. If you post using a PEZ handle or email address, you might add it to your name tag. People often recognize that before they do a name. |

Inspect the dispenser before making an offer and paying for it. Dealers may not give you a refund if you find a flaw after you have already walked away. They also have the final say on the sale. Please respect their policies.
Bring address labels. This will save time instead of having to fill out hundreds of raffle tickets by hand.
Own a PEZ book. If you don't, we highly recommend you buy one at the convention. John LaSpina's latest price guide will be sold as will Shawn Peterson's Collector's Guide to PEZ. Both are excellent resources.
Don't spend all your money in the first hour, you will regret it. You should look around to comparison shop but don't make the mistake of thinking it will be around forever. Good deals disappear fast. Know your prices and values.
Stay through Saturday night. It's a time that you can party, play games, socialize with your friends, unwind and not have to worry about scoring the next PEZ dispenser on your Wish List.
