...in this case the Crossroads of the West shows. Do you usually set up Friday or wait until Saturday morning? Any problems with leaving your stuff overnight at the site?

Been bout 8 yrs since last sold.

At Crossroads would set up as early as possible on Fri.
Always with partner.
Left the building when run out in the evening by security.
No losses.

Our table covers wide enough to drape to the floor during the day and pull up over the goods for night.

Enjoyed the camaradrie with other dealers from all over on Fri and did some dealer to dealer dealin.

Also liked to leave late on last day. Even if show was limp for us to that point. Sellin to late-comer bottom feeders often great without reducin prices.

Never had handguns to sell tho. Just long guns and accessories. Don't think I would leave handguns out.
