eh, not great, but not disastrous. i had a real crappy spot in the back building, and alot of people didn't even know it was there. the second day they announced our presence in the back forty, so at least i didn't lose money (except for what we spent on ourselves)
but i made a couple good contacts for wholesale customers, so it wasn't a total waste.
and of course i got that guardian. that alone made it worthwhile! _________________ There are a terrible lot of lies going around the world, and the worst of it is half of them are true.

Isn't it wierd how adulthood changes perspective on things?
When you were a kid, a day you could get a new toy and make a couple of friends would have been better than any non-descript religous holiday where presents are exchanged! Now it classifies as not a "total loss" or "bad weekend". Sorry things didn't work out better for you I'm sure it will next time.

Sorry to hear ya didn't do so well in the sales department,edgy.
I setup at the local gun/ knife/ militaria shows in my area and usuall do quite well. However, I don't put out SB's for sale. ..Too risky here in PA. Any knife dealers usually keep them under their table and only sell to people they know!....And then the prices they ask for their stuff is usually outrageous. ....Hope you do better, next time!

yeah, i'm sure the next one wil be better sales-wise, but that was the only negative to the trip (well that and not being able to get a room fri night and having to sleep in the car).
it was still great fun, i mean hell, i got to talk about switchblades all weekend without wearing down my fingertips and got the knife i've been drooling over for months (well one of 'em any way)
and like ant said:

sorry if i gave the wrong impression, all in all it was great, i just didn't get rich. but that's nothing new!  _________________ There are a terrible lot of lies going around the world, and the worst of it is half of them are true.
