Las Vegas Show Report

Fishpro

The Show started on Thursday with dealer only, had a fair day but felt the number of dealers was low. Friday had a good public turn out, lots of lookers, my sales were way down from past shows. Saturday was Saturday, didn’t make a sale! Packed up and headed for the airport at 4 PM. Lots of dealers were herding out on Saturday as airfare for Sunday, was five times for me the cost on Saturday. I did buy a few great Morgan’s on Saturday so all in all the show was a success. I will be back in March as the show is very well run. Thanks to Dawn and Frank!

Are we starting to see price resistance from the buying public? Lookers and not buyers?

I think that there was some price resistance at the show. I only sold one Morgan over $500. Most sales were in the $100 to $200.

Yes once you get over $200-300 it prices most of them out (public coming in door).

Thanks for the report. Seems to be the first one reporting slow sales though.... Most other reports indicated high volume business with very happy dealers. Cheers, RickO

I was at the show Thursday for dealer day and back on Sunday. Found some good stuff to buy both days and every dealer I talked to said the show was good.
Didn’t see as many of the vest pocket dealers that I usually do on Thursday.

My brother was at this show, he didn't get anything, he thought prices were pretty pricey for what he was looking at. Was a bit higher then he was hoping to spend for somethings.
