[QUOTE="skingspan, post: 45782, member: 1122"]I live in massachusetts, there are three monthly shows that are within an hour drive that I attend when I have a chance. the closest to me (20 Minutes) is the Westford MA show.

I usually go in with a want list with prices and try to stick to that. Otherwise, I just run around in circles and don't end up buying anything. I guess I am starting to be a regular at some of the shows as some of the dealers recognize me and remember what I collect which is probably not to hard because I collect everything. Just like anything else some of the dealers are jerks and some are really personable and will try to teach you a few things while you are talking to them. There are the ones I try to give my business to. It is alot of fun, can't wait for the westford show in a few weeks.[/QUOTE]
