JakeBird6684 Posted February 14, 2020 Share #103 Posted February 14, 2020 I’m going, it’s my first time, if I wanted to sell or trade uniforms, how would I go about doing that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Jerry Posted February 14, 2020 Share #104 Posted February 14, 2020 I’m going, it’s my first time, if I wanted to sell or trade uniforms, how would I go about doing that? You can bring photos, but then you would have to be back & forth to the car and this place is HUGE. I would say just bring them- and walk the show. (depending how many you have), some guys have those "grandma carts" they push around with stuff. But above all be courteous - to the people in the aisle and don't lay them out for some one to see on another dealers tables. (This happens quite a bit actually and is really bad form) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torch03 Posted February 15, 2020 Share #105 Posted February 15, 2020 I'll be there set up as usual with my good friend James Parker from Topkick Militaria. Tables B 13-14 Can't wait! Hope to see a lot of you at the show! Matt Blood On The Risers Militaria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z19 Posted February 15, 2020 Share #106 Posted February 15, 2020 4. How is etiquette amongst buyers? I once was at an antique advertising show where almost nothing had a price tag and I picked up an item that I really wanted to inspec it closer and another buyer came in beside me and asked the dealer how much and proceeded to buy it while I was still holding it. It would get that cutthroat. That's when you tell the guy next to you to take a hike!! You will find that there are some "bullies" that only respond to being "bullied" themselves. But, it's not nearly as bad now as it was just 5 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z19 Posted February 15, 2020 Share #107 Posted February 15, 2020 First timers....the best advice for you guys that have never been there. If you are staying a couple days then leave your wallet in your room the first day or there's no reason to even go back the second day because you'll be broke!!

M1A1-1944 Posted February 15, 2020 Share #108 Posted February 15, 2020 Question for anyone setting up who has gone through the Wednesday dealer drive in. I just recently was notified that I received two tables off the waiting list and have paid for them. Was I to let them know I would be participating in the Wednesday drive in, or do I just get in the vehicle line after picking up my packet on Wednesday?

MAW Posted February 15, 2020 Author Share #109 Posted February 15, 2020 Question for anyone setting up who has gone through the Wednesday dealer drive in. I just recently was notified that I received two tables off the waiting list and have paid for them. Was I to let them know I would be participating in the Wednesday drive in, or do I just get in the vehicle line after picking up my packet on Wednesday? Step 1.... get your packet as soon as possible....it has your parking pass, your show badges, and table location. Remember you and any helpers need to have your normal OVMS membership badges too. Step 2.... follow the directions (and the crowd) to get your vehicle in line for set up. Having access to the adjacent hall last year was very helpful. The folks at the table when you pick up the packet can give you all the options available. Enjoy the show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin_Militaria Posted February 16, 2020 Share #110 Posted February 16, 2020 One case priced and packed. Tables S-49 & S-50. Also a large Estate Collection of 50+ US & British Swords, Revolutionary War to WWI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last question, because I will be unloading by myself. Do you unload your vehicle at your tables? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gomorgan Posted February 16, 2020 Share #112 Posted February 16, 2020 Not at your tables, but an area next to hall, bring a cart if your items are heavy, it can be a little walk, but really much better than coming in from the parking lot with your goods.

Chris Miller Posted February 16, 2020 Share #113 Posted February 16, 2020 For what it’s worth, I was able to schedule some business down in Louisville on Wednesday. I should be available by about 2:00-pm Wednesday and all day Thursday. I am willing to help out with anything if needed. I sent my OVMS membership in early last week. So if any OVMS SOS staff are on here and still need helpers, please PM me. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dskjl Posted February 18, 2020 Share #117 Posted February 18, 2020 Flew 6 hours on the red-eye from Hawaii to Alaska last night and this AM, packed and am now headed to the airport in a snowstorm for 3 flights and 14 hours more in airports and planes. I'm confident it will be worth every moment of travel to be there. See you all there, and travel safe, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manayunkman Posted February 18, 2020 Share #118 Posted February 18, 2020 Wow you make me feel guilty for not going. That’s a big temperature change and a lot of travel time. Not to mention the front end investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normandy1944 Posted February 19, 2020 Share #121 Posted February 19, 2020 Is there anyone who wants to act as a picker for me? I can't make it and I currently have budget for WWII airborne and D-Day named groupings and uniforms. Send me a pm please. Also, could the ones who attend the SOS post pictures of the show afterwards? It's always a pleasure to see those. Have a good one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SylvesterP Posted February 19, 2020 Share #122 Posted February 19, 2020 There are allot of items at the show, but don't forget about the veterans in the back. The vets have some good stories to tell and they appreciate the visitors. Have good luck and enjoy yourselves, because before you know it the show will be over.
