This space for rent...
Hello all,
My wife and I are about to start some home renovations, and even though I have been selling a few guitars to sort of clean out the basement, I'd still like to thin the herd a bit. FWIW, I'm down to 35 guitars from 42, so you'll understand that storage space has run out.
Which leads me to my question. There's a guitar show coming up this weekend, and dealer tables are $80. I'm tempted to reserve a table and bring along 5 or 6 guitars to sell. However, most of them are fairly high-dollar guitars. With the economy, I have a feeling I'll have a lot of folks checking out my guitars, and not actually making any sales, only exposing some highly collectible guitars to tire kickers who may not treat my instruments with kid gloves.
Have any of you tried manning a booth at a guitar show? Any success? I'm tempted, just to save on ebay/Paypal's exhorbitant fees. But it seems like it may be a lot of work for nothing, and possible damage to my guitars.
Thanks,
Brad
