Now, with something this awesome and new, we've had a lot of questions, so here's a quick FAQ.
Will The Store Be Open During The Sale?
Yes -- we will have staff inside the shop and inside the tent to help you out.
Where Do I Pay?
ALL tent sale items must be purchased in the tent, all items from inside the store must be purchased inside.
Will You Take Credit Cards In The Tent?
Yes, we will have two mobile credit card readers set up, as well as a cash register for cash transactions.
Where Do I Get My Third Eye Points for Tent Purchases?
Just bring your receipt in from the tent, and show it to us at the counter, and we'll get your points for you. If you're in a hurry, you can bring your receipt in on your next visit to Third Eye and we'll get you then.
Are Regular Items In The Store On Sale?
No. Only items that are in the tent are on sale.
Can I Use My Third Eye Card Discount on Tent Sale Items?
No, the Third Eye Card discount does not stack with sale discounts. However, you can use your Third Eye discount on any items inside (as those are not on sale.)
Is It Rain or Shine?
Yes. The forecast looks good, but this is a real deal event tent that has sealed sides all around it; and it's built to keep the water out.
Is This Item In The Tent?
Honestly, we do not know. These are often items we've gotten from various stores and convention dealers over the years. We've got boxes in here that we've never even touched; so there could be some real gems, but it's hard for us to know for sure. Sorry about this!
I Have An Early Bird Pass, What Time Do I Get In?
If you participated in the promotion we ran for early bird passes a couple of weeks ago, then you will get in at 10AM instead of 11AM
Parking?
We've got tons of parking all around the store. Our only recommendation / suggestion is please don't park directly in front of the other businesses in our plaza, so we don't get yelled at. :) Your best bet for parking is the entire rear of the store has a huge parking lot, as well as the sides. If you are going to be at the event for longer than a few hours (i.e Cosplaying and hanging out), then please, please park at the Kohl's / Shopper's Food Warehouse lot.
Extra Parking?
I doubt the parking lot will fill up, but if it does, Kohl's has a HUGE lot, and it's only a short walk to our store from there (less than a 5-min walk)
Bathrooms?
There's tons of public restrooms within walking / driving distance of the store, including Dunkin Donuts on West St (walking distance)., McDonalds & Wendys on West St., and more. It's always good etiquette to make a small purchase when using someone's restroom. :)
How Early Should I Line Up?
This is totally up to you. It won't be as crazy as FCBD 2013, but it will be very busy, and if you want to get to the sweet stuff in the tent, we'd recommend lining up as early as you like. Heck, camp out if you want -- that's always fun, and we may even have a surprise or two for you. :)
