Shows... yeah, that'll be the day. When and how will I ever get to one of those? But I'm not that sad over it. I found the bargain that goes by the name Line'sEnd. When I placed my $80 order, I also made a "curiousity" order beside it... same stuff with the prices I would have to pay if I ordered it from Sweden. That one came up to $160... and it was still a few things short (couldn't find them here). Not too long ago I thought I made a good deal. 1/2 black and 1/2 grizzly Whiting neck mounted together. Good bargain for me. I didn't have to pay for two, but they would last me a good while anyway. If I had waited for a while I could have made an even better bargain... buying two COMPLETE necks from Line'sEnd for the exact same price as I'd just paid for one combined!!!!!
So, even though I don't see many (or any) "show bargains" in the future, I don't cry about it. I'm still really grateful for stumbling in on Line'sEnd. /Nick -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Fr�n: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] F�r mark romero Skickat: den 28 september 2004 23:38 Till: [EMAIL PROTECTED] �mne: Re: [VFB] tieing deer hair - Tom Nick, if you can(?),....... forget tackle shops, lol. Try and do most of your materials, tools, vise, etc., etc. purchases at the "Shows." expecially on the last day of the show when the vendors don't want to have to take anything they don't have to, back to the shop(s). That's when/and where you'll get the best deals. I prolly spend 30 days a year or more, at a show of some kind, and that gives me a good chance to make some really good buys. You also have the power to dicker at the shows, and pit the vendors against eachother. Kind of like running back and forth from music store to music store on 48th St. in Manhattan. "Well.........this guys said........" Nice guy right, LMAO. Hey, when opprotunity strikes, i'm to well raised to refuse. mark.........
