Many of the dealers have come from out of town, incurring expenses in travel as well lodging. I know some these dealers had no money and were counting on getting paid on time and in full just to meet there basic needs like food and shelter.

Fortunately I was not in a position like that.

I know many of the experienced dealers who have done this year after year are saying they will not return.

I will not return unless I am convinced that there substantial changes to the management of the event.
