Re: [Repeater-Builder] OT: Dayton Fleamarket space prices?
Look at it this way: If the number of dealers drops, those with money left over will be looking more at your lot. :-) When I first went to Dayton 25 years ago or so, you had to 'fight' your way in to see anything on the flea market tables. Now, you can do a quick walk-by (quicker past the open spaces). Joe M. Paul Finch wrote: Joe, Wow, this is weird, I got your reply BEFORE I got the message back from me! Wonder what's up with that!

STeve Andre' wrote: I strongly suspect that the price ramp up is to encourage more smaller spaces and thus increase the diversity of equipment. But it's just as possible that it will stifle vendor attendance and result in even more open spaces - of which there were plenty the last couple years. When your vendor attendance is down (you have open spaces), you should give the vendors MORE incentive to attend, not give them higher prices (reasons NOT to come). I think they are trying to maintain the same income they had with a full lot with fewer vendors. People are moving out of the neighborhood? Tax those who stay more to maintain the same municipal income. eyes roll Once your vendor numbers dwindle, you can be sure your attendance numbers will follow. Ted (MDM) wasn't there last year.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] OT: Dayton Fleamarket space prices?
From here, Reno is a nice 7 hour drive - Las Vegas is a whole lot more. I used to attend the Reno swapmeet by driving south the night before, staying overnight in an off the strip motel and going early the next morning. The Reno area really heats up (high desert) by about 11am ... which was my departure time - arriving home (here) in time for supper with friends. I have visited Las Vegas twice since I moved to Oregon 30 years ago - don't miss the drive at all. Las vegas isn't the community I remember when I lived in Southern California back in the seventies. Have a safe drive, Neil - WA6KLA ... in central Oregon ...
