[QUOTE="mr ed, post: 1707837, member: 6777"] Wannamachers- 3 days rent $15,000 per day = $45k 3300 tables and 6000+ chairs = $33k advertising budget $150k+ insurance ? multi-million policy $15k? spends a ton of money traveling all over the country trying to get good dealers to come in. employees about 50 $100k total about $350k revenue table rent varies according to size and whether displaying or selling. lets say $3300 x 100 = $330k admission claims 50k, but really more like 30k full price and 10k discounted or free tickets. 30k x $12 = $360k tables & public = $690k expenses = $350k __________________________ net taxable profit $ 340k uncle sams cut probably leaves him with $200k per show x 2 per year. What you don't realize is it has taken him almost 50 years to reach this point. During the 50's, 60's, 70's, he had the largest shows around and they were only the size of todays R-K and Metcalf shows. If you want to try this. do it the way everybody else has. start in small towns with one at the N.G. armory or community center. with a 100 table show you can start as follows rent $1000-1500 tables $1000 or maybe free if building has some advertising $3k-5k insurance $3k-5k help and security $1500 total $8500-14k income will be ??? 100 tables $40 x 100 =$4k admission 1k-2k x $5 = $5k-10k you would maybe make a few bucks if you watched your money real close or lose your ass like most who have tried and failed.
