TIPS AND RULES FOR SELLERS

Sellers will be admitted starting at 12:30 PM.  Non-commercial sellers are

Table space is free for individuals, but commercial vendors must reserve
space for $15 per table.  Arrive early.  Space is available on a
first-come, first-served basis.  Power access is limited and WAC does not
provide extension cords.  WAC can provide table space with power to
demonstrate equipment.  The room must be cleared by 3:30 PM.

Sellers must sign a form agreeing to abide by the following rules:

1. No copies of anything may be made in the building during the Swap Meet.

2. Commercial products must be sold only on their original media, with
original labels, and must be accompanied by the original manuals or
documentation.

3. With the exception of commercial vendors, no more than one copy of any
software product may be offered for sale per seller.  This includes
shareware products.

4. Absolutely no unauthorized copies of commercial software or magazine
type-in programs may be sold, traded, given away, or distributed in any
way.

5. Your name, address, and phone number will be posted on the front of your
table during the Swap Meet.

6. Absolutely no sales or browsing will be permitted before the doors open
to the public.

WAC reserves the right to eject any seller who violates these rules.

TIPS FOR BUYERS

Buyers will be admitted at 1:00 PM through the front door of Conference
Room 2.  Arrive early for the biggest selection, stay late for the best
bargains.  Bring cash, as not all sellers will take checks.  Write down the
name and phone number of the seller, which will be posted at the table. 
WAC is not responsible for questions about or problems with purchases. 
Caveat emptor.  Doors close at 3:00 PM.
