This is all great stuff. Thanks to all of you, I appreciate the responses. I'm going to re-read all of this several times before the show. A lot of really helpful tips on how to make things work easier.
SkyHook, I would tend to agree with you, your post cracked me up. But never having done this before, I'm looking on this as an experiment. If I find it is actually fun, that would be the only justification to do it again.
The organizer couldn't tell me if I'd have power at my table or not. I'll bring a few sections of track and a small transformer in case it's available, although that takes up table space too.
Sounds like having things pawed over to a certain extent is to be expected and tolerated with as much good spirit as I can muster. I'm not too wound up about trying to get top dollar. Everybody loves a bargain, and in this case I won't be offended by even marginally reasonable offers. Listing on weebay is a PITA too, and I'll be happier if I don't have to load it all again and bring it back home!
My wife has said she wants to come with me for the day, and she's a LOT better with people than I am, so that will truly help.
