[Boatanchors] Hamfest Pricing

Whenever I go to HAMfests I NEVER go with the mindset of dickering. I 
buy at the sticker price or I keep walking.
I love HAMfests and most of the time I am satisfied with my purchases.
If I think I need and will use something that is over priced I will keep 
passing past the device until it is sold, the price drops or I give in 
and pay too much for it.  I am big into upgrading my test equipment.  I 
also buy antenna building parts, insulators, baluns and connectors and such.
If there is not a marked price on an item that I want or need, I usually 
keep walking, only if it is something I really need, do I ask what an 
unmarked item "goes for."

I have a basement full of good buys that are too heavy and that I have 
no immediate need for.  I will be unloading this stuff soon.
