Default Question about trading at OCIC

Hey guys, I'll definitely be at the OCIC in Arlingfton since it's just a couple of minutes drive from the house. This is my first one so my question is this; do shark owners bring odds and ends to swap? I'm redoing the interior in my 83S and have some duplicate pieces. I'm also pulling out the 83 seats and installing seats from an 85S so I have the complete 83 seats with motors and mounts (the leather is trashed). I'm happy to let a lot of it just go for free but would like to know if there's any kind of etiquette to trade bait.

Bearing in mind that there are vendors at OCIC that have paid a fee to be able to sell at OCIC.
If you keep it very much low key and you are a private owner selling/swapping a few bits I do not see a problem. Make a big deal and we would politly ask you to stop.
To have access to the show for your car and the bits you will have to pay the registration fee of course.
Looking forward to meeting you.

Thanks Roger! Just wasn't sure how it all worked. I won't step on any toes and try to trade anything there. Another question, if I'm not bringing the car (up on lift with no tranny), I can still come in and shop, correct?

Absolutly - there is a voluntary fee of $25 to help our dwindling coffers 8>)
If you don't feel like paying we will still make you just as welcome.

Sounds cheap for a room full of 928 knowledge! What's the best day to make it? My mom is coming in town to see the Rangers Thursday and I don't think she'll be up for a whole day on the convention floor.

About the trading, I used to be a card show geek (I know, I know) and even though the dealers were there set up in booths, there were always some guys sitting in the corners swapping cards. I just wondered if this was similiar.
