So charge 'em a buck, give 'em a name sticker and consider 'em 
registered.  Not considered open to the public that way.  If it is a 
good idea, it is worth pursuing.  If it is not a good idea, then it 
is not worth pursing.  If there are rules that make it more 
difficult, then the optimum workaround needs to be defined.  Ed L.

states, there is no sales tax required for sales within the 
convention if it's closed, but there is a sales tax on every 
transaction if the sales floor is open to the public.  In many states 
there is a requirement for extra insurance if the public is to be 
allowed in.  This can cost a bundle, even for one day's worth of 
insurance.
