George Lasley posted:A recap of my experience at the meet last spring. It was my first time at the Strasburg meet and probably my last. No one wanted to sell me anything. I found a number of potential purchases but no one was at their table to make a sale. I came back several times over the morning but no one was at the table at anytime. Then I found a dealer at his table. He was in a conversation with someone else. I picked up the item I was interested in and waited politely for the conversation to pause. After 5 minutes or so of completely being ignored I put the item down and left. If you folks don’t want to sell why do you pay to set up? It would appear that this meet is primarily a social event. These dealers probably wonder why they do so poorly sales wise. I sold antiques at shows and flea markets go over 25 years. If you want to make sales you have to be present and talk to people.

It must have been you. I was there and only had to wait a couple of minutes for a few vendors as they were dealing with another customer. I never had any of the experiences that you describe.
