Hi john,
You are right on the repro signs, I dont like it. But have to accept with all the empty spaces, these stalls are keeping the event going with the rest of us.
Obviously all the repro is made, because of the success of the originals. Just like ulsters.
Most prices on stalls are no more than we find on ebay.
I ebay we can wait for a cheap listing day of 2%
Fees for ME to stand spring beaulieu.
Pitch £75.00
B&B £148.00 (I take this nowadays for my helth) we are all getting older. I could only get this lower price because it was 24 miles away at Christchurch.
Diesel £95
There is alot more vehicle depreciation, food etc.
So it at least costs me £320 to stand
I dont know what people expect me to mark things up by. The contacts were something like 1million % there was bits I sold at a loss in clearance. I bought an item there for £320 and sold it there for £400 22% ish
Let's DREAM and say overall I double my money?
That means the first £640 of any sale, have to be done just to break even. And that's not taking in costs to buy it in in the first place.
All the time it took to do all this is only taken once you get over these figgers. So for all the hours I do I probably still end up working for £5.00 an our.
Sorry if things look expensive, they really ain't.
And the only reason you get to see these expensive items is because the stall holders there done all the leg work to find it for you.
I dont say any of this in a nasty way, and dont want it to be taken that way. But sometimes in life we just see the price tag, and not why that price tag is so large.
