Custer's latest stand

Custer's Spring Antique Sale is at the Fairgrounds this weekend.
A lot of people turn out for this sale and there'll be a line waiting to get in when it opens Friday evening. As I've said before, I don't even try to get in on the opening rush. I don't like to be pushed along the aisles by a treasure-hungry mob.
I found this article on shopping the shows. The writer makes a good point when he says that the best bargains are spotted by other dealers before the show even opens. It's true. If you go to a sale several times, and keep your eyes open, you can spot items as they move from dealer to dealer increasing in price along the way.
This isn't the flea market. It's a show and most of the prices are show prices. The appeal is that the dealers have done the work for us. They've scouted out all those wonderful things and I think they're entitled to their markup. As long as it's reasonable, of course.
