It's pretty much always been that way, Chris, at least in my experience. When I sold trains at York some years ago, I never wanted to take anything home. I practically gave remaining items away on the last day just to avoid loading them back into the car. I always did pretty well as a seller because I made sure I priced things right from the get-go. I rarely took anything home except whatever new items I might buy with the money I got from selling the items I took to sell.

I think all the folks in the member halls should be required to go into the other halls and see whats going on out there. Walked past row after row of trains in the member halls with $80 price tags on them while the same items are in the dealer halls for $25-$35! Then they get upset when people don't buy it or want to negotiate. Overheard a couple of people complaining about folks wanting deals - and they would rather pack it up and take it home.
