I guess everybody's perception is different. I read that attendance is the
lowest in a decade and two meteorite dealers, one artifact dealer and one
mineral vendor I talked to said they would be lucky to earn their show fees
back and they probably will not be returning next year. It looks like a
buyers market to me.

Tucson is jumping. All hotels full. More people than in many years. Sales
are good. Supply is way down. Prices are up because supply running out.
The show is great. Last year was my best year at the show, didn't sell a
million $$$ but actually not far from it.
People with no material and no ambition should stay home, as the show is
really active and walking required. The hotel parking lot was completely
full this morning, first time in a few years actually despite major flooding
rain.
