jmras...the 3X's rule works for you; I wonder if it has to do with the area one lives in. I am beginning to think that maybe its where we sell. Less rural areas would probably be easier to get a more profitable price perhaps. Would choosing shows, sales, fairs etc. in larger areas be more advantages than the small towns (like here we have a pop. of 1900) where we normally set up? Our thought thus far is that folks from larger cities come to these smaller towns for the quaint, nostalgic type fairs.
