Now remember that $3500 only covers expenses and not the cost of your goods sold. So, you probably need to take in $8-10K at the minimum to make your week worthwhile. And using that you see about 10 percent of the value of the inventory as a guide, then I would say a minimum of 80-100K of items brought with you to make the weekend worthwhle.
Now, some dealers still treat the NSCC as a vacation week *yes that number is dwindling* and if the show is part of a vacation, then you might be satisfied with a different number taken in.
