This is a pretty good show. Been going every year. They have been doing the e-waste thing for a few years, great of Samsung to sponsor that

I went last year and it was great. Got a free travel mug from CAA that had a free coupon for Tim's. Which reminds me, I haven't used it yet.

I was trying to sell my cd rom.
Seems like it worth a ticket.

Anyone know the price of parking at this place?

[LORDSTC]

Have a monitor that I wish to get rid of, but I would need parking if I was to go, the old crts are heavy to get there on ttc

If going by car, I would bring a group to get rid of a larger amount of e-waste

or I could just use the free admission that came with the metropass

BUMP - this weekend

Only thing that I don't see on that list is a VCR or "Video Devices". Audio yes.

What freebies are they giving away at the show?

[jpistone]

no giveaways i wish i didnt go went and saved the gas as my contribution to the environment

Went yesterday. Cost me an old obsolete keyboard to get in. They will take just about anything as a donation. I saw calculators, toasters, pretty much anything.

It was student day yesterday, so I think some of the booths were keeping there freebies out of sight. Still plenty of food samples to graze on. If I had been able to stop and talk with more of the vendors I'm sure there would have been other freebies available.

Last Day bump.

Anyone know the price of parking at this place?

$13-$14 in front of the building, I parked at the Ontario Place, $5 flat fee, just across the Lakeshore, 5 minutes walk to the building

[YLSF]

It wasn't as good as previous years but I still enjoyed myself. Bought some stuff at discounted prices (tortillas, yogurt, kambucha, chocolate) and enjoyed some samples. Also bought some food from the restaurant/vendors on the south end.

Marking this deal as expired since fest is over.

Ya, I hate to say it, but this show was garbage this year. Anyone who paid $15 to get in must have been outraged.
