Hello, Don't feel like the Lone Ranger! I sent a email requesting an explanation for their weird price schedule, not a single word! I have since decided I am not going. Three spaces does not mean a commercial vendor to me, that is the only explanation I have gotten so far and that was not from the Hamvention people.
