You ever hear the one about the eccentric millionaire uncle dying unexpectedly? That happened to my mother and she shared a bit of it and said 'have fun' just before nationals. I fully embraced the spirit in which it was given.
Since I bought all the WnW kits from a friend, I paid less than eBay prices, but still significantly more than what they were from WnW.
Then there was Sid. He was selling two tables stacked to his eyeballs of WnW kits. He was negotiating, but his starting prices were very high. By the end of the show he had less than 1/4 of what he started with. I don't know if he was negotiating to more reasonable prices or if guys were paying what he was asking.
