If anything, I will be stupid early
Yeah, that's the time to show up. My tongue in cheek reply above was a poor attempt at a joke. I'm not going to blow all my cash early though. Last year there was quite a bit of old tube related DIY fodder laying around after the crowd left.
There's a couple of us here in The Springs that are thinking of getting a table. I have a couple things that I don't need I might haul up there.
If I were you I would camp out overnight.
My experience at this year's show
I've attended and thoroughly enjoyed the last two Vintage Voltage shows, so was really eager to go again this year. I paid extra for the Early Bird ticket and was the first one though the door.
Top of my wish list was a Fisher 500C receiver and saw 2 right away on a sellers table. He told me right off that they were not for sale and he had only just bought them from another seller prior to the show opening and intended to put them on eBay right away. Yes, he bought them both and proudly said he would have bought any more he could have found. Other buyers came by and asked him about his other offerings and the prices quoted were per eBay and he was going to list them the next day. I listened to a number of other sellers also stating their asking prices were in-line with that auction site.
If any of you professional 'flippers' are reading this, please refrain from telling us buyers what prices are on that auction site. Most of us already know and feel they are way out of line, otherwise we wouldn't be coming to the show to find more resonable prices. It seems like the pro's are starting to dominate this show and the hobbyist has a slim chance at finding a good buy.
Sorry about the rant, but at least I feel better now!

I did see more than a few "Not for Sale" notes on gear there. I figured they had just been bought at the show early. But my grip was, why display them at all. Stash your "new" gear out of sight or in your car. Don't draw interest, then say your going to list them on Ebay. Kinda poor taste IMHO. But, whatever
