Not just 1/72 but entire stock. The guy who runs the LHS who was sat up at the show told me he offers .40 cents on the dollar. He had made a offer to a friend of mine who was sat up selling books as I was talking to him, he told him to get lost.

I don't know if anyone has spoken to him about his inconsideration for others, but from the sounds of it; any words like that would fall on deaf ears. This guy could care less for anyone but himself. I for one would have words with the vendor; he has the control over when he makes such a sale. The vendors should tell him to come back at the end of the show if he wants whatever is left! That way, the vendor is able to satisfy a lot of customers throughout the course of the show and still reduce the amount of stock he brings back. Selling everything at the beginning of a show, especially a four-day-long show like a Nationals makes no sense if they spent all that money for vendor tables. Granted; the vendor makes back his table cost in spades, but what then? He's gotta face a ton of dissatisfied customers. I personally will tell a vendor to his face: if he sells to this guy at the beginning of a show before I have a chance to purchase something, then I will never buy from him again; and I will let everyone else know how inconsiderate he is as a vendor for his targeted customer base. His actions will have proven that he is for more concerned with money than in keeping me and everyone else as a customer who will continue to buy from him.

Floki, I commend your book-selling friend on his decision to blow the guy off.
