And he's not cheap but for him setting up at the NSCC was approximately 3K and frankly he's doing it at a reasonable cost.

If you are spending 3K for a week any trade better darned well be in your favor before you as a dealer does that trade

Now, if it's a small local show where the tables cost $40-50 then trading becomes financially easier for a vendor.

That's why you always must look at trading from the dealer financial viewpoint not just from what we as collectors wish to do
