[QUOTE="Rooster1971, post: 1707995, member: 19292"] I don't see how these guys are not making a bit of money. I know it's not the same type of venue, but I've bought and sold at several auto swap meets for years. The spaces to rent are as much or way cheaper than the prices previously mentioned. Most of the time admission is free and they have been having shows for years. I doubt anyone is losing money. One of the bigger swap meets is in Wichita this weekend at the sunflower coliseum. It houses several buildings and vendor spaces are sold out. I have never sold there, but would lead me to believe they are reasonable. It's also all auto related. No baby beanie booths allowed. That show is $5 to park, $7 for two day pass and it doesn't matter if you have 10 people in the car. This show has been going on for awhile and is wildly successful. The gun show promoters are greedy and it shows with their attendance and lack of vendors. If you think you could do it, go for it! These other guys suck. [/QUOTE]
