[NJARC] SWATmeet Etiquette

[Billoradio at aol.com]

Never brag to someone that the item you just bought from them is worth a  lot 
more. They may have bought it for $5 and sold it to you for $25 and were  
perfectly happy...untill you ruined their day.
 
If an item is worth $25 and is priced at $1 don't offer them 50 cents. Have  
a little dignity.
 
Make a seller feel good about what he sold you when you get a good  deal.  
"Thank you, that is an item I will realy enjoy" "Thats just  what I needed, 
Thank you" Etc.
 
If you buy an item to resell, one posibility is to sell it at another  more 
distant meet. This could avoid hurting the sellers feelings by doubling his  
price right in front of him.
 
Remember that no matter how intense we are, this is a hobby for most of  us.  
Lets leave the gathering feeling good about our sales, purchases, and  
relationships.
