I wish I had the time and energy to type the long-winded response that this question requires. At the end of the day, the majority of attendees want quality material at rock bottom prices, while dealers want to make enough of a profit to make setting up worth while. I can't say I blame either, but the difference between the two is what suppresses turnout on both sides of the tables. From what I've seen, it's getting harder for dealers to buy good stuff cheap enough to keep prices as low as buyers want. We live in a world where anyone who walks into a commercial setting can take out their phone and find "it" cheaper somewhere else.
That said, as a promotor of two shows/year myself, I'd also love to hear what input people have.
