Hi Everyone
Can't make my mind if its worth going back to the chicagoland show in april, can anyone advise if its worth it. The fall show was excellent, i enjoyed that more than anything else. However i have just purchased another 2 machines for my collection, therefore only one show will be possible this year... Come on let me know, is it APRIL or NOVEMBER?Huh?? help

Hi Tony
  I always try to make all the shows just because I really enjoy getting away for a few days. If i had to choose, I'd say the fall show is always better. I try to make a few deals to buy and sell beforehand and meet at the show. picking up things along the way, and transporting things for other people help keep down my expenses also.

If I could only make it once a year I would go fall... I feel that everything in April is what didn't sell in November....
Dealers have the Spring, Summer and early Fall months to beat the bushes to find and restock for the Fall show...

Yes, i would attend both shows as well, but the fact is its difficult to not want to buy stuff you don't really need. With me it was like i gotta buy it all!! However being realistic and lets face it i've got to be. i think the fall show will have me again this year, and you have all confirmed my thoughts.......So November show it is...

Dave. My other machine is vmc 81..Pepsi  Well you only live once, and its not a rehersal (so they say) biggrin
