I would , well Pinball Spare Parts  would be happy to go with or without all those people

i understand why they had a auction last time and see the reasons for this to cover costs , But I feel we need to try and seperate a perosnal auction and a expo .
or maybe make it a free for all on the auction .. let others bring pins in for sale , otherwise I cant see , Bumper  , pinball shed ,pinball sales , pinball warehouse and all pinball machine selling companies turning up , I cant speak for them but last year i was contacted by some and spoke in lengths about this.

but to be fair  the people that put on the event  had to cover costs and had a auction .  I am unsure if the same people are doing it again this year or if you didnt have the auction would it cover costs ?   would enough dealers turn up and pay for stalls ?  its a big question . do you have a auction to cover costs or do you hope to have enough stalls and cover costs ?  the 64 million dollar question .  I dont have a answer sorry ,  

I wish the best who run it and hope they can oneday seperate the 2  and attract thousands of people and all dealers,  till then its the great debait .. auction/expo  or expo/auction  

you must though give credit as they did a expo , no matter how you look at it

just my 2 cents worth , this year  I will try and go check it out , last year we got back on th friday from IPB and doing the deal , expo was on the saturday . auction on sunday , I couldnt make either day .
