GLSPS

[Doxie]

I'm pretty sure this posting will be pulled shortly, but I would like to set the record straight.  First off, I was not only accepted by the GLSPS to sell my inventory at the show, the check for the booth was cashed and accepted and cleared my bank on Jan 28th, I had a long talk with the GLSPS prior to even signing up for the event and was told by someone who will remain anonymous that if the other shops didn't like what I was doing that's just too bad.  I would still have a booth at the show had I not chosen to post it on this site.  I had a booth at last years event and donated a $500 item for their raffle.  I did the same this year, donated a $500 item for their raffle even though I am no longer in business, am working 2 jobs and need the extra cash to pay bills. When a business decides to close their doors, they have sales.  It's that simple.  The inventory needs to be cleared out and selling items at or below cost is the way it's done.  No one can say otherwise and be telling the truth, and if the shoe was on the other foot, the complaining businesses would do the same.  Have a yearly 50% off sale?  You bet they do and as long as it's them and not someone else profiting from it, that's ok!  This equipment will be sold.  If I still have it when weather permits there will be a huge advertised rummage sale in the twin cities on private property and no one can say a thing about it.  The piddly amount of equipment I have to sell will not affect anyones bottom line, it's that simple.
