You Know , Goldhammer ;
On this point you are so right . I have found stuff at incredibly low prices and stuff so costly they wanted to mortgage my wife and firstborn ! It all depends Where and when .The big shows with lots of vendors in the bigger cities . High Money . Smaller Shows , smaller cities , Better chance for a real bargain on the last show day .No one wants to arrive home with the same or more than they came with .It's a lot of work as well .
I have watched the set -ups and break-downs at our train shows and believe me , a lot of folks got under 20.00 on running Locos , just so they didn't have to drag them around again . Last time I vended at an I.P.M.S. show I had forty cases of model cars ,from the fifties up ! You do realize that is a whole U-Haul little attic van ( I bought it used to convert to an R.V.) and when I left ,because it seemed I hit the customers with a fairer than I thought Price range I had a case and a half left ! But those were ones I had traded for .
In other words I sold it all . Not one kit went for over $ 20.00 bucks ! And boy did I get good stuff in trade ! T.B. P.S. When I pass , ALL goes to the V.A. . I ain't gonna do that again !
