<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ok I am on the soapbox.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>People think Merchants have it made
ALL THE MONEY. There is </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>no way a Merchant can make a living on SCA
events the sales </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>are not there. </FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2>Back when I was a merchant my sales barely </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>covered getting </FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2>to the site, site fee, feast, and </FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2>getting home and </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>that was a good event. </FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2>For that I got to </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>set on my
</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>inventory when </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I was not at a event, </FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2>work all day </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>at </FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>a event for 2 days, </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>set up
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and tear down every </FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2>day and the </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>l</FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2>oss </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>from theft, storms and
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>travel. Also the missing </FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>all </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>the fun </FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>during </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>the
day.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>OH YEA that is why I got out of
Merchanting.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But thanks to all the GOOD customer that have
</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>become my </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>friends </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>over the
years. It was worth it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Maybe a $5.oo to $20.oo permit like a garage
sale It would </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>be easer to control.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ok I am off the soapbox now.</FONT></DIV>
