buy a booth or table to display their items for sale. Booth and table prices have increased as a result of diminishing sales and these Folks are not about losing money.

The larger item not talked about is,the total group the engages in this arena,are for the most part are older White Guy's and that crowd is doing what,dying off.

And the High end Collectible items are not selling do to constraints of the economy. Example,say you have a Collection that is valued at 300k-700k or more,your survivors if having to liquidate that collection in order to convert it to cash,well,you most likely have to consign this collection to a Auction House in order to make it happen at a 15-30 percent selling fee. And one has to hope for every thing to fall into place. I say this from being near one of these scenario's. And the Widow recouped about 30% of the appraised value.

And these Gun Shows biggest money maker used to be the Ammo Sales,by the pallet loads,well every gunner has a old refrigerator full of ammo after the Boogie Man scare of 2009-2017.
