Upcoming Side by Side Sanford: Trade and Sales?

[Jay Oliver]

Wasn't there some chatter about the organizer 'speaking" to some guys selling in the parking lot?

A few years ago, I got yelled at after talking about buying/selling/trading back by the Parker tent 5 stand parking area. I honestly didn't even think I was doing anything wrong at the time. I was just excited to be talking about Parkers and possibly getting another one.

Myself and the other person were given a lecture about how vendors spend money to rent out tables and we would be asked to leave if we were "buying/selling". I certainly wasn't intentionally trying to break any rules. If you know me you know that's just not my personality, I was bothered by the "talking to" I received as I honestly didn't know what I didn't know.

So please take that under advisement.

IMO if a vendor at his booth doesn’t have what I want, at a price I think is a fair price, and be isn’t willing to dicker, I will look elsewhere… and if it happens to appear in a parking lot, or walking the shooting course, I will strike a deal wherever the opportunity presents itself.
I will not obviously break any rules and will conduct a deal very discreetly… as I have done twice in the past.

You are a better man than I Jay. I would have told him to pound sand. I'm at the point in life where I don't take kindly to being scolded. At the very moment you were being dressed down I bet there were at least 100 or more private deals in the works. Does that person understand that if Parker were to pull out of that challenge thingy he would be singing a different tune? Just saying.
