Are some exhibitors complaining about walk-ins who might have something to sell?

Or are there so many drunks wandering into the show that there is an alcohol safety issue?

It seems unlikely that walk-ins are selling so much and pulling cash away from people who have tables. Most walk-ins who have something to trade or sell won't be carrying things to pull sales away from dealer tables.

Indeed, walk-ins with interesting things to maybe sell are most likely going to sell to dealers who have tables with similar stuff on them.

Unfortunately, so many people who run good shows eventually tighten their sphincters to the point it is not fun or exciting for many exhibitors.

If dealers don't push back, they will keep getting "stuff" forced on them. Show organizers can do knee-jerks to slight or vocal inputs from a single or few jerks of another sort. And they can choose to make rules because they can.

I can't make it this year, but hope the Randall crowd still enjoys it and does well.
