I set up at a local show this weekend where the table fee was $200/table. I overhear a discussion at the table next to me. He actually had 3 tables and had traveled from Utah to Indianapolis. Customer (a teenager, there with his mom) was trying to knock the price of a ~$25 item down a couple of bucks. Dealer politely informs teenager about travel costs, hotel and table fees. Mom looks at teenager and tells him to give him the extra couple of bucks! Lesson learned!

My take: Many older customers especially those just getting into or back into the hobby need their mom or the ghost of their mom to snap them back to reality.
