I agree with Mark, at least here on the east coast, dealers packing up early is a huge issue. Basically most shows advertise as 9-3 and the place is wrapped up by 1:30-2:00. Collectors know the dealers will pack up early, so no one bothers to come after noon time. Kind of a vicious cycle. I guess the answer would be to just run the show from 9-12 and If the dealers want to stay a little later, that could be up to them.
