Did not see anywhere in the original poster's post where he/she had
"an axe to grind." However, you are welcome to your opinion.
And why are you telling the original poster he/she will never be
successful at sales. I see no where in the original post where the
poster claims to be in "sales." Also, please explain the criteria for
predicting success or failure in "sales."


As much as I bust seller's chops, I really liked the original posters
story, be it true or not. It's a good illustration of the
buyer/purchaser relationship.

Besides... If we wanted to pay retail, we'd just go mail order.
Hamfests are where one goes to look for a bargain.


Not me!...I go to check out the hot babes!

(gurglegurglechokechoke ! ! ! !)

I've actually *seen* some at the last several I've gone to! Real ones,
not the "2:00 am in the bar" babes.... hehe

Imagine the sales at HRO, AES, etc, if we start having "reps" like the
ones you find adorning the cover of some of the automobile specialty mags...! !

Burghardt has or had a nice young lady working for them (Michelle) that
graced their pages for a while.

Oh yeah...Sweater Gal.

I'd like to see the gal who hawks stuff for "Watson's Furniture" in
Nashville at a Hamfest.

There's also a lady that works at one of the battery booths in Dayton
and other hamfests. Not a YL, but quite easy on the eyes!


HAR! we're sounding like a couple adolescents! No matter.

Were they wearing "I Love Hams" buttons?

I think most of them *were* already spoken for, and with Hams already.
One was definitely a ham, and was dragging her husband around. Now that
seemd like role reversal.

Yes matter! =)

As long as the box isn't nailed shut just quite yet I fully intend to
enjoy all the perks of being a male of the species, including a little "Eyeball
Liberty" from time to time!

You bet! I told my XYL years ago that when I *stop* looking, its time
for her to be worried!

There was a looker in the flea market at Dayton a couple of years ago.
She was selling, of all things, a pneumatic tower!
