I was actually surprised and happy with the turnout Thursday. While not ground breaking it was decently attended.
Sure there were open spots, missing , vendors etc. but it was a good time. If it continues this way I won’t be upset and write a diatribe about the decline of York. I’ll just go and have fun.
I would say that attendance was decent as well. Having this be only my 4th York, there is not much to compare it to at all in everyone else's yardstick or mile marker. I do think that yesterday and today had a good amount of people coming about every which way, though today there was most likely a bit more. How much, don't know. I do know that Tony in the Purple Hall had said that so far both days was busy for his sales straight through. Yesterday when I went through, I did get a moment to talk to him, but today early on he was so dang busy I let him be until I came back later around 2PM to chat a bit. I know that most of the passenger cars he had set up yesterday had been gone when I was there later today, so that is probably a good sign.
Some of the other things to consider is what you got as a bargain. Me being a person who can only judge by what others tell me, or by seeing prices at one table and another be different, I did manage to make a few good decisions on things. A few people had pretty high prices on a particular bunch of scale cars, and I went past two vendors and get the cheaper of the three prices. While this may not be extremely great type of deal, I consider what I picked out to be as such because of what I saved. I paid $10 less for what one car would have been if I bought at the slightly higher one, it would have been $40-$75 more at the high one. While I did not directly compare car to car prices, when you see everything range from $140-$180 for a car(that's one car), more than likely you will shop around. It was a good thing I remembered the vendor at the end of the hall who had the cheapest prices of the three, love that memory of mine.
I will have to see what else I find tomorrow for what time is left of York. I really have to take a wander around and see what else I want on my not list since I only had one item that hasn't showed up. See what comes, and hope to see you at some point in time Marty, whether it is tomorrow(if you're still here), or next October when I will be able to come again.
