I recently got a table at MangaNEXT, it was about three weeks turn-around. But it's a small con, so I doubt there was much competition.
My batch of ezprints came in. Somewhat expensive (19 cents for 4x6 and 4x5, 1.99 for 8x10), but they're good (standard photo quality) and arrived quite quickly even with standard shipping. But I'm cheap so I only got 70-something prints in total, and I'll be getting maybe $20 more in Office Depot prints to sell cheaply. 49 cent color prints on cheap paper ftw.
And this isn't the most valid of contributions since I haven't done this yet, but this is what I intend to do and I think it'll be effective:
Put little thumbnails of your prints on the price list, don't just put them in text. I've seen a number of text-only price lists and they're not really attractive. I'm selling multiple (2-3) versions of each image, so I intend to make my list an illustrated matrix of prices based on image and size/type. Also, I'll be using one of those display books with the transparent sleeves to show the art, and since I'll have 2-3 pages devoted to each separate image, I'll be making sticker bookmarks to mark where each new image ends/begins.
Even if this sort of organization isn't going to be used much, it'll look more professional/serious xP I haven't quite finalized my inventory yet, so I will not be making the price list until later, but I'll post it when I'm done.
