<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1525341, member: 66"]But you have to make enough to pay the expenses so you can write them off. Sometimes the bills are such that that isn't possible. If some of the bills from the convention center for the past ANA show were paid it wouldn't be. I was talking with a book dealer this past weekend who attended the ANA show in Philly. His books are packed into boxes about the size of milk crates and are loaded into his van. He had somewhere around 60 crates for the Philly show. He gets there and has to let the union people do his unloading, it's the rules. They unload the crates to a cart and roll them over to his table. Took twenty to thirty minutes. The next day the Convention Center gave him a bill for the moving expenses......$7,000. And he wasn't the only dealer to get such a bill, there were quite a few others. Wizard, the coin supplies dealer, got the highest bill that I know of for $13,000. Bills like that you can't pay and make a living, even if you can write them off.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
