Another cool but damp day with clear skies would be nice.\u00a0\u00a0 Yesterday was gorgeous.\u00a0\u00a0 Sunny, breezy, temp was perfect after a chilly start…<\/p>\n
I need to unload and re-stack the stuff that didn’t sell.\u00a0 Some will not be returning to inventory.\u00a0 Some will be going on ebay.\u00a0\u00a0 I sorted as I packed up, so it shouldn’t be too bad.<\/p>\n
Wife and D2 will return from their back packing trip later in the day.<\/p>\n
Hamfest was a lot of fun.\u00a0\u00a0 I like talking to people, running a line of patter, and selling stuff.\u00a0 I don’t know what official ticket sales looked like but it felt a bit sparse.\u00a0\u00a0 The swapmeet area wasn’t well filled out either, which worked ok for those of us that were there.<\/p>\n
Several people commented on the cost of living increasing a lot lately.<\/p>\n
People were buying smalls for the most part.\u00a0 I didn’t really see people buying new radios, or big ticket items.\u00a0\u00a0 Several people brought their young kids and there were some middle or high school kids too.\u00a0 Ham radio is a ‘dad’s day out’ thing, even if most of the kids were girls.<\/p>\n
Didn’t see as many people who looked like narco trafficantes this time.\u00a0\u00a0 That’s a plus.<\/p>\n
My best sellers were rack shelves, load bearing vests (mesh tactical vests with molle attachment points) and pistol holsters. \u00a0 The shelves were a no brainer, but the tactical and gun stuff sold better than I’d expected, and I’m glad I brought them, as the fact they sold means there was an audience for them.<\/p>\n
All in all, it was a fun day for me, and most of the attendees seemed happy too.<\/p>\n
I’m sore and beat up, with a bit of a sun burn, but I’ll live.<\/p>\n
Today will be putting stuff away, returning the trailer, and\u00a0 nursing sore muscles and skin.<\/p>\n
Wherever you buy it, keep stacking!<\/p>\n
