Gr8signs- Lots of guys seem to think they are the only ones entitled to bring a pile of money making items home with them.Not trying to be combative but I feel the need to reply to your post -bashing shows.A Gas and Oil show isnt the best place to find gas and oil stuff for resale or a quick flip. It can be done but really if you expect others to do all your work for you might/most likely will be disappointed. If its so easy to find this stuff and then do all the work to set up ,pay the promoters for booth space ect. ect. Maybe you should do that. Cherry picking is tough these days. Shows arent geared towards flippers ,so you are probably right not to go back and waste your time. I go to a few shows each year and usually bring back some nice stuff-for my COLLECTION- with out overpaying. And believe me- my money is hard earned and I cant afford to just throw it around. I'm sure you know this, but its just like hunting-you dont always bring home trophies but you have to get off the main path if you want to find special deals.
