It is a great place to buy one ,it cost the dealers big bucks to rent space at those shows and pay all the employees etc... they are looking to make that cost up and that means VOLUME!! I bought a new one at the Tacoma RV show last year and got a great deal and my buddy just bought one at the same show last week and he did well also,as a Owner of a Knife company I have done ALOT of trade shows and it is expensive to get and run a space for a few days, How to we justify the cost??? Exposure of new models for future buyers AND get people to open up their wallets NOW (preferably)
