[Namron] Fwd: [NR] New Oklahoma Tax Law and Merchants

[HL. Grimhun]

Ok I am on the soapbox.

People think Merchants have it made ALL THE MONEY. There is 
no way a Merchant can make a living on SCA events the sales 
are not there. Back when I was a merchant my sales barely 
covered getting to the site, site fee, feast, and getting home and 
that was a good event. For that I got to set on my inventory when 
I was not at a event, work all day at a event for 2 days, set up 
and tear down every day and the loss from theft, storms and 
travel. Also the missing all the fun during the day.

OH YEA that is why I got out of Merchanting.

But thanks to all the GOOD customer that have become my 
friends over the years. It was worth it.

Maybe a $5.oo to $20.oo permit like a garage sale It would 
be easer to control.

Ok I am off the soapbox now.
