Title: Chicagoland show one month away
Post by: Larry on October 14, 2014, 08:28:11 am
It's officially one month away.  Anyone going? lol

Just curious, what is the most interesting item you will be bringing to the show to sell?

I hate to say it but I will not be attending this fall, have other travel plans that are right on top of this show :down:
but I do know my buddies that travel with me are going and he is bringing nearly a whole collection of stuff he just got down there to sell.. so make sure to look for his booth , most likely near the back!

Have fun!

        I can't make it but hopefully can help someone who does.
        Slider Bob had 3 sliders picked up last week from here by a great U-ship driver out of Michigan, Rich Garvin.
        Him and his wife left here in California for Washington, now heading to Texas, Florida and back to Michigan.
        They make cross country runs constantly.
        I just talked to Rich and they can be in Chicagoland next month if anyone wants anything transported in or out.
                                                 
        His number is 248 798-1756

I'll be there, and can't wait! 

Going to deliver a pre-sold 81b, and coming home with a pre-bought slider from Lloyd at coin-op warehouse.

Still debating. Long drive, first timer, and I know how I get when I go to a local flea market and they have one real coin op. Based on the videos on YouTube, I envision my head and wallet exploding. :)

I was hoping to be there but not going to work out.  My son will be reporting to USMC Boot Camp on 11/17 and I want to spend the weekend with him before he leaves.

Maybe in the spring?

Have fun! :happydrinkers:

Too many things on my plate until the end of the year will keep me from attending...
I was on the fence the last couple of weeks and decided it would be too much for me...
There will be other shows for me...

New gig has me so busy I haven't been able to keep up with happenings on this board.   I was planning to attend, but it looks like I'll be headed to London that weekend for work - so probably can't work it all in.

The London trip is still tentative, so ... maybe.

Jim
