Thanks for all the pics.

Good pictures, I would say you covered the show. I got there around 2:30 and was surprised how many signs I saw that you have pictures of still there. I heard rumbling by dealers that not many sales. I think people at the show to buy, could give a good reason for the rummbling. As a buyer of signs and I like excellant condition, I have to say no matter who wants to beat on me, condition was not there. Hefty prices on a lot of signseven on every day numerous made signs. I saw a ton of reproduction, fantasy items with big prices on them as well. You all can bang on me all you want but I like our hobby but we are running people away with what I observed at the show. Was a lot of dealers and I'm sure good time by all there not hitting on that. Maybe that is the market now that condition is not important, but prices aren't in line with this. I saw a lot of dealers packing up and they were going home not for the night. It is a shame for BUYERS coming a long way to see these things going on at our shows. Let the beating begin.

I'm not going to bash on you,as I tend to agree with your observation of prices in general. Being somewhat new to gas and oil,and not arming my self with value books I wasn't sure,but seems signage was high compared to last years shows.
I allways say its a sellers market. But you can price youself out of the game,and that seems to be what has happened. Maybe fuel prices has become a factor,but buyers burnt the same to get there.
Maybe the deep pockets showed up today and all is well.

Thanks for posting the pics Reb.
