Hi All!
Just getting geared up for the Chicago show, counting down the sleeps as my son would say!
This being my first show of this kind, other than the typical furniture antique shows that the wife drags me to that Viagra even couldn't get us to not go to  glare I'm not sure what to expect in terms of the prices that are out there.

How would you all rate the prices that are being asked for the originals out in the lot, as well as the ability to negotiate the prices.
Are the sellers wearing eBay price goggles, or are they pickers of pickers of pickers, so they have to ask high, etc.....

Would you say the prices are that of Ebay, Craigslist, or more in line of what those on this board estimate machines should be going for.
I understand that the sellers need to make their profit, and I'm all good with that... as they are the ones that found them, lugged them to the show, and have expenses themselves.... Im just wondering if the prices are in line with the actual values of these machines (I know each machine vaires with condition etc... but assuming all being equal  biggrin

Thanks all in advance!
Look for me at the show... Ill be the guy there with a jacket on and no wife!  laugh

I'd say most are in line, and keep in mind, lots of dealers price things based on show prices too.. it's not all auctions and ebay...
I've seen stuff priced high and I've seen incredible deals...  but you just won't know until you go... so looking forward to seeing you there!

I'll have a big white 6x12 trailer and wearing my Yellow Packers Hat, so if you happen to see, me stop me and say hi!
