Dear ChesshireCat,

 

Please note that IPMS Roscoe Turner has recently implemented a policy that states our vendors are to refrain from selling off to "table buyers" until  11:00AM so that the general public has an opportunity to shop their wares.  

 

Regards,

 

RonY

still three hours too early

gary

Share the sentiment - I would go with noon given the earlier access this year. 

Since I only go for the swap meet the bulk-buyers COMPLETELY kill the show, and I will not return.  I do see from a Sellers standpoint how this would be a jackpot, not blind to that.

here's my take for what it's worth. The last two times I went (twenty minutes north of me) I was greatly disappointed with the vendor room. Prices were over the top (close to the local Hobby Town). Empty tables everywhere. Yet I paid the gate fee for nothing. Then the following Monday a club member brags about all these kits he picked up Friday night before the show when they were allowed to pick over the lot. Between that and the Turk; I have stayed home the last two years, and went a hundred minutes south to the next big show. Both seem unethical to me, yet I used to spend about two hundred a trip.
