We had a stall at the the show, and came with the opinion to get a feel for Machester, and who wants what. Granted there were a lot of the same for sale. but like it was the first one for showmasters, it was the first for us. You will always get the regular dealers, but this time there were a lot of scottish and middle coutry dealers compared to the mix at MK, we personally will try our best to offer something "different"
In terms of being overpriced, i think people came thinking £50 was enough to spend, just not realising how much stuff costs. Think of the approx basic costs for a dealer to come to a show:
2 stalls £ 270
Hotel £100
Van hire £100
Petrol £60
Thats £500 to make before even making the cost of what we have to sell, so please spare a thought for us on the stands.
We still had a lot of fun, and would like to thank everyone who we met at the show.
