Hi Ya'll!
Guess what? The Fall Train Show and Vendor event is coming. We have already surpassed the original tables by a 40 count. No dropouts so far! I am willing to bet I'll drop a few bucks on Ship and Car models, Maybe a MaschinenKreiger or two as well.
The thing is There will be some other stuff too. Last show, one vendor had at least one of every 1/350 RESIN Ironclad kit ever made! His prices though, drove folks off. He was asking $150.00 for an open and second hand U.S.S.Cairo and he wasn't sure if all the P.E.Was there!
When I go to vend at I.P.M.S. show i check out the competition and price usually.50 cents lower. I mean it's not I will lose money. Most times on Fairly New I will ( also Re-releases) drop a dollar or two below low retail. I go with boxes full and return with new additions. Usually I go with a minimum of three boxes ( U-Haul) medium. I return with those boxes empty and folded and the new acquisitions in the front passenger footwell. I don't need to be greedy, I just need to generate Model Building Money for Supplies. The Train shows also allow me to generate money for the Modeling account.
