Thoughts on 2025 National Experience?

[skelly]

The National is the one show where the dealers have the advantage. Human nature is that a customer doesn’t want to drive hours / take a flight, pay $30.00 to get in… just to go home without much. When you go through all that effort, for some people what is it to them if they pay a little extra… dealers know that.

Another consideration is dealers at the national are not looking for quick money to fix their car, etc… These are serious business people who don’t need to move merchandise if they don’t get the price(s) they are looking for.

Bottom line- if you’re looking to buy unique items in person, meet friends, then yes, the National is a great show. Otherwise you might be better off at local weekend shows if they exist in your area.
