I'm sorry you had a bad experience with the vendors. I saw at one time or another all of them busy selling there wares. I had to wait several times to make purchases of things I wanted. I saw an awful lot of trading going on also. Maybe some of the TH's you had were older ones no one needed. I saw just about all the TH's regular from this year and last year going for three dollars. This was our biggest show ever with over 300 adults and over 50 children. So please understand everyone was busy. The vendors have also traveled many miles to sell an trade. I know you sayed you traveled from Lexington, that's not far when you consider some came from as far away as 600 miles. Maybe I souldn't tell you this but my brother in law and myself, when we can't sleep, get up in the middle of the night an drive to Lexington Walmart, just off 81 on 64, then drive on to Stauton to check Walmart there, then back to Lexington after breakfast, an on up 64 to Covington to check out Walmart then K-Mart. We have always found TH's in these stores. Our club has tryed to show the different aspects of Hot Wheels. There are alot of guys that just want to race, others that just build customs, others that collect and others that just get together to talk about them. Since this was your first show don't let it be the one that gives you a bad taste in your mouth. You've got to meet an know people and them get to know you before you make a decision. I saw one gentleman dancing as he left. I asked what he was so happy about, his reply was he had found a $20 car for $.50 he had been looking for for two years. I found a car I had been looking for for over a year and I was excited to get it for $40. Think about it until our next show and maybe you will see how many things could be involved. Hope you will be at the next show an not let one ruin it for you. Thanks for coming an hope your boys enjoyed part of the show. Fred
