One thing you didn't ask about -
Take your cues (*cough steal) methods and ideas from others. There are a lot of ways to vendor : glom on to ones that feel natural to you.
People (some/a lot?) buy based on their buy-in with the artist. Your enthusiasm and authenticity are key to a connection.

* better to label books with prices or make people ask?

* is it better if you're Doing Something or Smiling Aggressively?

* jeans and a comics tee vs business casual?
