It is a lot of money, but for a lot of the people there, its there summer vacation. It is very hard not to get wrapped up in it and lose perspective once at the con. You get around close to a 1000 people that share your hobby, and you lose control of the wallet. 95% of everyone are great people that want to talk and brag about what they have in there collections and what is missing. I do as much room to room swapping as anything else. Always bring about 3 large tubs of stuff and sell or swap it. I highly recommend everyone go at least once. The Master Collector activities are usually pretty good but I go to drink with fellow collectors and board members on the different forums and such. After Hotel, Plane Tickets, Lots of Beer, and getting some pretty cool toys, 2-3k is gone just like that.
