Sales down again this year (thanks, I suppose, to this bloomin internet thingy) and as something of a record dealer minnow I won't be paying for a table again next year unless there's a big drop in the price. It's just not worth it for me. I could be out and about enjoying the weekender instead of having to sit and look at John Weston and Dave Rimmer all weekend. It's a shame because I think weekenders benefit from having as many records on sale as possible. I appreciate the night-time security etc but the cost of that must be pretty piddling compared to what's taken from the dealers.
Of course I still managed to have a fabulous weekend - well done guys - and I'm now looking forward even more to next year....
