Pat, you are correct.
Reichstall,
I know some of those guys reasonably well and I don't sense nervousness when talking to them. The last MAX and SOS were very good for them both in terms of their sales and items they were able to buy from walk-ins.
Shows, though, are not as reliable an indicator as they were 20 years ago or event 10 years ago. With digital photography, the Internet, and much cheaper phone plans, a lot of transactions pass unnoticed.
Our own "For Sales" area seems to be active and it is very interesting to see what sells and what does not and at what price.
Dave
