Huh? When I decided to swap the amateur radio hobby for other 
activities, I sold great gleeping gobs of my stuff before opening time. 
Yes, it was to dealers who turned around and made a profit on it. But 
for me it was an acceptable sale vs no sale. I hauled two sections of 
Rohn 45 to RARSfest and couldn't get anybody interested in the 
*complete* 110 foot tower system it was advertising, but I had lacked 
the sense to put a clear sign on the sections to communicate with the 
dealers beforehand. But when I connected with somebody prior to the 
start of a later attempt it led to a deal that got the thing out of my barn.

Seriously, I've been at many of the RARSfests for over 30 years and this 
is the first time I've heard of this rule. One could at least slip a 
"sold" sign on something one second after start time and have the other 
party pick it up later to stay within the rules? I don't want to condone 
breaking the rules. The RARSFest organizers are friends. But surely a 
verbal contract before the start time would not be "illegal"?

Good luck with the TRS!

Regard,
Pete AD4L
