Reply to "Generally speaking- How much Money does One need to say "Go or No Go" for York?"

I would respectable disagree about York not being "Bargain City".  Maybe if you have only 1 item on your list and you can't find it at that price then maybe; but this last York I had a list and all of the items I found at prices I would never see online or at local shows.  For example, I found a NIB Premier Proto 2 Empire State Express for 500.  Most dealers had them from 825 to 1,000 but I found this at York.  21" Bombardier 4 car set for 250.  Legacy Go Rail engine for 220 off list.  GE Evolution for 29% off retail.  The woodland scenic trailers are listed at 94 dollars and I was happy to find them at 70 but should have waited because the next aisle over Nassau had them for 50 each and this item just came out.  

2 Yorks ago I was able to purchase 3 Lionel Carnival Rides (Ferris Wheel, Carousel, Swings) for 100 each when those go on the bay for over 200 all the time.  Lionel swing bridge for 99, and the big grey lift bridge for 250 both NIB.  And I didn't even mention the Saturday purchases when Vince's trains was at his last York.  I would say more than 50% of my layout items come from purchases made at York over the last 5 years and I was extremely happy with the prices I paid.
