Streaming web cam from PEZ Convention in Myrtle Beach!

2011-10-25T16:52:00.001-04:00

Hi Everyone, As you know I’ve hosted a few conventions. About 10 years ago at the Northeast PEZ Con we had a live web cam set up. A couple years ago we set up a web chat with the Swedish PEZ Gathering from our convention in Myrtle Beach. Technology has improved and it’s time to try something different. At the “PEZ in the Sun” Collectors Gathering (Myrtle Beach Oct 27-29) we are going to be testing new web cams/equipment. I want to make sure everything is in good working order for the “Northeast PEZ Collectors Gathering” and Bus Trip to the new PEZ Visitors Center. (which will be in April) The Northeast Convention/Bus Trip is something you will not want to miss. It would be better if you come, but if you can’t at least you will be able to see parts of it via the Internet. Wireless Internet is spotty at the Myrtle Beach hotel. But, I’m going to try to bring you some of the Myrtle Beach PEZ fun to your house. Who knows, maybe this will make you want to come to a convention! If you go to our web site www.Pezify.com you will see a couple links to “You Tube” and “Ustream”. We will upload videos to You Tube from the convention and also stream live web cams on Ustream. If you miss the live Ustream feeds there will also be videos there too, so check them out. On Thursday we will start testing the equipment. If all goes well with the Internet connection, at 8PM we will have a live video stream from the PEZhead/Parrothead Party from the convention hospitality room. Stop by and take a look…. Friday we will be posting videos and possibly have live web cams going from time to time. Saturday night at 7PM we will have a live feed from the PEZ Swap Party in the Hospitality room. Hopefully this will be a way to bring PEZ conventions to those that can’t attend in person and perhaps make you want to attend one. Sit back and enjoy the show….Happy PEZZING,Richie

Since I changed our web site host I also had to change the emails. Long story short, it seems having the email go through Gmail doesn’t always work. I think I missed some emails. If you sent PCN emails and didn’t hear back please write again. I have a new direct email which should work better. The new email is PCN@sc.rr.com and will be updating web sites after the convention. Just way too busy now.
Thank you to those that bid on the Rare PEZ Pinz that were up for auction on ebid.net. Pins #5 of 5 ended on Sunday and I reposted pins #4 of 5, they will end this Sunday. You can find them by looking in our ebid web store at http://www.us.ebid.net/stores/PEZ-Pinz
Our PEZ Pinz web site has been updated/redesigned to include our new non-PEZ licensed pin page. Check it out at www.PezPinz.com . If you are on Facebook, please click on and be a fan of our new Got-Pins Fan page at http://bit.ly/dlwU8C
NE PEZ Con- We just got all of the goodies in and a couple boxes of giveaways from ebid.net. For those that didn’t register yet we will be offering the “Express Registration Package” at the convention. The “Express Package” includes all Convention goodies except the Convention logo t-shirt. This year I’m told we are getting a very special NE PEZ Con PEZ dispenser, can’t wait to see it. Sorry, no extra convention pins or convention dispensers will be sold. See you in a couple weeks!

10 NE PEZ Con Charity Auction Pins are posted on ebid and can be found at http://us.ebid.net/stores/pcn-store . The auction ends on Sunday morning Feb 28th. We started the auctions a couple weeks ago to give people a chance to sign up for ebid (its free) and figure out how to place bids. Thank you to those that have come over to the auction site. Just so you know some of the pins have really low bids still. The money from these pins will go to Make A Wish.

NE PEZ Con-The deadline is almost here for early convention packet registration and discounted hotel rooms. After March 1st the con packet prices increase by $10, so please send in now. The convention will be held again in Stamford CT on April 8, 9, 10, 2010 but in a different hotel than last year. This time it will be at the old Sheraton Stamford Hotel which is now called the “Stamford Plaza Hotel and Conference Center” http://www.stamfordplazahotel.com . When booking your hotel room please make sure you book under the PEZ group and call 1-877-604-6072 or 203-359-1300.

The convention is shaping up to be another good year. As far as dealers we have over 25 signed up for the Saturday show. I know of at least 2 people liquidating their collections and we have one company that is coming and will sell a new, exclusive PEZ dispenser during the Saturday show. For more info about the convention check out http://www.PezGathering.com See you all in April.

Our 2 week update about ebid.net - GREAT SITE!

2010-02-09T09:09:00.000-05:00

Here is a quick update about ebid.net. I spoke with one of the founders the other day. They are very excited about PEZheads joining the site-more on that soon. All of the auction listings are now showing up on Google searches. They added sub categories to the PEZ section for us. There has been an increase in PEZ items on the site. It’s been about 2 weeks since I joined ebid.net and have sold a couple items. I find it easy to use. The speed of the site is great. I closed my eBay store sooner than I said I would. Since my web store is out of service I opened two on-line stores there. In the stores I have PCN subscriptions, NE PEZ Con registration packets, NE PEZ Con Charity pins (please go bid on them-money to go to Make a Wish) and our new PEZ Pinz.
The Cost- FREE! If you want to sell with the free membership you only pay a 3% final listing fee with no listing fees. All auctions can start and stop when you want them to. One day or 101 days, or run until sold. If you sign up for a Lifetime Membership (only$49 this month) you get FIVE free online stores, no listing fees, no final value fees. If you want to add a gallery picture then you pay only 2% final listing fee. Still, no listing fees.
First- I don’t work for them. I didn’t know about them until I started looking for eBay alternatives. I think this site is good for us and our dealers. Low or no cost is good for us all! I’m asking all PEZ collectors and PEZ dealers to sign up. To make this work we need everyone to join and all of the PEZ dealers to open stores and start selling. The auction site will get big with our help.

NE PEZ CON April 2010-Information Update

2010-02-07T13:43:00.001-05:00

Hi Everyone,
NE PEZ Con- DEALERS PLEASE READ- The early dealer table reservation deadline for the 12th Annual Northeast PEZ Collectors Gathering is Monday Feb 15th. If you are planning on coming, please let me know. Due to the new “candy vendors” I will have to work on the floor plan soon so we can make everyone fit.
NE PEZ Con/Candy Expo attendees-The deadline for early convention packet (attend/absentee) registration and discounted hotel rooms is March 1st. After March 1st the prices increase by $10, so please send in early. It will be held again in Stamford CT on April 8, 9, 10, 2010 but in a different hotel than last year. This time it will be at the old Sheraton Stamford Hotel which is now called the “Stamford Plaza Hotel and Conference Center” www.stamfordplazahotel.com . When booking your hotel room please make sure you book under the PEZ group. Hopefully we will make our room booking quota and we can return to this hotel again in 2011. Everyone was happy with this hotel in the past.
The big change is we are opening up the Saturday show/room hopping to all candy collectibles. More dealers, more candy collectibles! Our Saturday public show has always been busy, so it should be really busy. So please make your plans and reservations early!
For more info about the convention check out www.PezGathering.com
Happy PEZZING,
Richie
Questions, please email or call

You know eBay. Let me teach you about ebid!

2010-02-02T16:25:00.001-05:00

Hi Everyone,
I go back a long way with eBay. They came/sponsored one of the early NE PEZ Conventions and I even helped them with the eBay Heart dispenser. There was another on-line auction company, Auction Universe that came to one of our early NE PEZ Conventions. Looking back, maybe we should have given Auction Universe more of a chance to grow and get better. But now we are stuck with eBay, or are we?
Now to get to the main point of my story. If you didn’t already know, eBay is changing their fee structure in March. Without getting into it all, they are raising prices, again! Listing prices are going up and final value fees are going up regardless of what eBay says. In the end when you sell, it will cost more. So, as of Feb 15th I will be closing my eBay store and removing my listings.
As you may know, I sell my rare PEZ Pinz through eBay auctions and also list PEZ Convention Charity Pins on eBay to raise money for convention charities. The good news is I found a new place for auctions which I will be using and I would like to see all PEZ dealers and collectors come over there to sell also. The web site is ebid.net. Quickly, it’s free to join for buyers and sellers. You can upgrade your account to a lifetime seller account, which has some good perks. During the month of February it’s only $49.95 for a lifetime membership. You can open, up to five stores, start listings when you want, end them when you want and run them as long as you want. Let them run until sold. Sellers can take checks, money order, Pay Pal or Google checkout. Oh, I forgot to mention the biggie- no listing fees and its way cheaper than eBay!

To read a review by Auction Bytes-An Independent Trade Publication of Online Merchants click here: http://www.auctionbytes.com/cab/cab/abu/y210/m01/abu0255/s10

The auction site already has a PEZ classification section under Collectibles. I asked them to add some new sub sections like: Current, Vintage and Other. Right now there isn’t any real vintage PEZ listed yet. I feel we can make this site big if we get enough people to start using it. I would like to get everyone to check it out. If we get enough sellers/dealers to sign up, then it will be good for all of us.
To test and see how things work I listed some PEZ Pinz samples (auction style) starting at only one cent and I started some at $1!!! I want to get a feel for the site and I want others also to check it out. If you are brave enough to sign up and bid you might get $10 pins for a buck!
Now either I am really brave or really stupid here. Hey, no comments! I also listed the Northeast PEZ Convention Charity Pin auctions on the Ebid site. Hopefully, we get the people that usually bid on our charity pins to bid at the new site. This year Troy’s Family asked that we donate the money to “Make a Wish”. So hopefully we will raise some nice money through the sales of these pins for the charity like we have in the past. It just will not be on eBay. So if you bid on our charity pins please check them out. Bidding ends on Feb 28th. It gives people time to sign up and bid.

To see what a store looks like on ebid, check out my online store and auction items: http://us.ebid.net/stores/PCN-Store

If you want to join please use this link http://us.ebid.net/perl/normal.cgi?ref=857098&mo=register-main so I get credit for the referrals and they know PEZheads are joining! Maybe we can make this place the next big on-line auction place. It’s worth a shot!
Thank you, Richie

NE PEZ Gathering 2010

2009-05-11T19:23:00.001-04:00

It’s official. The 12th Annual Northeast PEZ Collectors Gathering will be held April 8, 9, 10, 2010 at the Sheraton Stamford Hotel in Stamford Connecticut. (different hotel than this year) After a month of talking with several hotels, we found one that fits our needs and is reasonably priced. That’s the good news.
The bad news is this year our group booked less hotel rooms than we contracted for. So we have to adjust our group room block numbers which made getting a contract difficult. Everything is based on the rooms we book in the hotel. The more rooms we book, the more they want us. Less rooms we book, the harder it is and the more everything costs. So, in order to continue hosting the convention we have to make some adjustments. Hopefully it will work, but we need your help.

Our Saturday show has always been very well attended. All of our dealers talk about how busy the show is. For those that don’t know, it’s held in a big ballroom and we get at least 500 people coming through the doors. After talking with several dealers and giving it careful thought we will be opening up the Saturday show to include other candy collectibles and we will give the Saturday show another name. We are doing this to hopefully draw more people to the hotel, which should boost room bookings and hopefully help us continue hosting this convention for another ten years! The first time we do this, it may be confusing but I know it’s going to work.

Here is where we need your help. The Saturday show will be called the “Northeast Candy Collector Expo” (which will be held in conjunction with the Northeast PEZ Collectors Gathering) and will be open to all candy collectibles. Knowing the way our attendance/promotions have been for just the PEZ show, this “new” show will be packed. If you know anyone (collector or dealer) that might be interested please give them the information. If you go to www.CandyCollectorExpo.com/necandycon.pdf you can print our flyer to pass around. Please bring the flyers to shows or your local candy stores to hand out. This is the only show of its kind. It will be big. More information can be found on our web site at www.CandyCollectorExpo.com . We have several blogs, Twitter pages, Facebook pages that can be found on our web site too.

Don’t forget, the Northeast PEZ Collectors Gathering will be held April 8-10 2010 and information for the PEZ convention can be found at www.PezGathering.com. The Saturday Public Show will have a name of it’s own (Northeast Candy Collector Expo) which should make it appeal to a larger audience. It can’t hurt. Please help us spread the word……

PEZ Convention- Charity Auction-Rare Pins!

2009-03-26T15:15:00.003-04:00

We will have some rare pins up for bid at our silent charity auction which ends Friday night April 3rd at 7PM EST. Non attendees can bid, please tell a friend or tell us your max bid and we will place it for you.
We have a complete set of test pins for the convention which were changed, Judy Johnson gave us 2 sets of her great looking pin sets, Gary Plunkett (PEZ Car) gave us a special charity pin mounted on a plaque, MN PEZ Con gave us a series 2 pin set, St Louis gave us a charity pin from their convention. These pins I just mentioned are very rare, so I'm opening up the bidding for the pin collectors.
You can also watch for convention updates on our blogs at www.Pez-Blog.com or at www.PezheadUniversity.com, Twitter, or our Myspace page.

NE PEZ Convention- its closer than you think!

2009-03-23T15:03:00.000-04:00

If you live in the Northeast you need to see this. I went to MapQuest and started putting in locations and was surprised at what I found. The Northeast PEZ Collectors Gathering might be closer than you think.
Albany NY to Stamford CT- 125 miles
Atlantic City to Stamford CT- 160 miles
Baltimore MD to Stamford CT- 225 miles
Philadelphia PA to Stamford CT- 125 miles
Boston MA to Stamford CT- 175 miles
Dover Delaware to Stamford CT- 203 miles
For directions to the hotel check out our web site at http://www.PezGathering.com and click on the NE PEZ Con logo. We have a link to the hotel’s web site there.
The Saturday show is open to the public (only $5 general admission) from 10AM – 2PM. We have 25 dealers signed up so far who will be bringing lots of PEZ to sell. This is your chance to see tons of PEZ in one place. So if you live close enough it would be worth the ride to check it out. Don’t miss it!
Hope to see you there….
Richie
