Ouch is right.

Be advised. Rant warning:

If ya figure you have to pay annual club dues to get the week early sign up and a $5 discount, you're actually paying the $45 anyway.

I can't get over the 5' tables. That's 3' less room for your stuff on the table, 3' less room under the table for box/bin storage, and 3' less for room behind the table to stand, move around, and cart storage. You pretty much eliminate two people splitting a table.

They had 6' tables a couple of times years ago. Not fun. This is my hobby. It's supposed to be fun.

They need to talk to the vendors and ask them what would make it better. Business has been way down. Not good. If I save $180 by skipping the next four swaps I can use that for fuel to get to the other swaps in different areas where 8' tables are only $10-$20. True, I would miss the revenue from the four swaps, but business isn't what it used to be. It will take a little over an hour to get to the GCCA swap. In a little over two, I can be at the Green Bay swap Feb 11th. They have 8' tables for $20 and I'm already signed up.

There was life before GCCA swaps. There will be life after.

Whew! I went to register and caught the $40 5ft tables too. That's brutal.

I'm ready for Davenport.

5' table.....my tanks take up 3'-4'....no room for bags, etc.....yes, it sucks...I guess in nicer weather we can sell off the back of the Tahoe too.....

We carry five 4' tables everywhere we go for the garden business and a 10X10 Ez-up.

...hmmm?....one tank and bags ?....

[Mugwump]

I don't see much complaining about the 5' tables.....

[Rjb3]

Not yet. Wait till we get there. Table assignments are new for the new venue. I hope I'm pleasantly surprised. Otherwise, it will be a short day for us. It's going to be tough sledding for the guys with a 5' tables in the corner.
