These are all the pictures I could take in between having time to take fossils out and display engage with customers and so on there is another one of my table but also includes name and business cards so I have left it out.

 

Thanks Matt

Thanks for the pictures! Unfortunately, I was unable to make it as I came down with a stomach bug Saturday night. I’m glad you were able to go, especially as a vendor! Hopefully I can go to the next one in November. :fingerscrossed:

Nice dinosaur material on this store.  Thanks for showing us and it looks like a good show.

Thanks Bobby this one was my display. I will be looking more at doing Bakewell as the Oxford show was a lot of travel and rather disappointing imo.

@Haravex  thanks for the tour.  Looks like a nice show but not a lot of buyers which is disappointing if i read you correctly

Yes sadly I was told this was the quietest show of all 4 in the year and this was the slowest July show they had ever seen, this was buy a mineral seller named Nicky who she had been doing for some years now. But it was defiantly an experience if nothing else and a good learning curve for what to do different next time sadly didn't sell enough to purchase the Iggy vert but always different opportunities in the future :)

Exposure to potential buyers is also important for you.   Might not buy today but may visit your website in the future.

Thanks for the images. I’ve always wondered if it’s worth going to these exhibitions and the images have swayed me to bite the bullet and go to one in the future. We’re there a lot of Dino teeth on sale other than the usual carch/spino/kem kem?

There are tons of my co_fossil enthuiasts who every year trek from south Florida to NC for http://aurorafossilfestival.net/

They seem to like it.  I have not been there .. I hope some of our NC memebers can educate us. Jack

There where a few ceratopsian teeth and as shown the nice iguanadon vertabrae but there was a bit of kem kem material there on the other tables.

Bakewell was very sleepy...... These fairs seem to be more mineral related which is a shame.
