[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 2907193, member: 18914"] I assumed the same thing - low prices = more buyers. However, what these dealers claimed was that part of the draw for some favored dealers was essentially a guaranteed higher cost environment to offset low volume sales - if you were a smaller dealer your marching orders were to not interfere with the larger dealers' business or risk getting tossed. However, I cannot claim first hand knowledge, I wasn't a dealer. Doesn't a similar issue arises re:entry fees. How does, for instance, Navy Chief survive with $7.00 entry fees, many discounted to $6.00, and table prices the same as Metcalf for longer tables? Wouldn't logic suggest that lower entry fees for Metcalf would bring in more and would be a bigger draw for more vendors for the smaller tables at, proportionally, higher prices. [/QUOTE]
