Opinion from Inside vendor-Overall I did very good selling and some buying-Two diff opinions as to auction- some felt that money got spent at auction that would have been spent with vendors-others thought that buyers would have held their money for auction and not spent it befors auction with vendors-I had one buyer thurs nite speed 500.oo in My room as prices were too high at auction to get anything- there were a few people that raised their prices on items for sale after they saw what similar items went for in auction-Naturally they didnt sell them-I beleive that there are 2 diff schools of thought - at auctions for some it is a chance to show off how much they can spend to a room full of people-and they keep pushing up the price-they would never pay that price if the same item was offered from a vendor- the same buyers will spend 1/2 hour trying to beat you up for a few dollars on items you are offering- --It was a little discouraging to see a few early inside shoppers getting kicked out fri morn when the outside vendors already had a 2 hr head start on fri and a half a day or so selling on thursday-we pay the same space price for about 1/2 the selling time- Friday nite was good for me on room to room eventhough 1/2 or more of the people had left- sat morn was quiet- PS- there were a handfull of rooms open Wed nite that did decent-I think Jerry Sr and Jr- wives etc did a very good job- It is very hard to stop early selling etc especially in an outside show- If they want to have an auction- no problem- only change I would like to see is to have it in a diff room so that inside vendors could start setting up before 930 at night- thanks Don
