we typically do free crate as we had to crate it to get it to the show. Most times our equipment is sold before the show.

I bought a show Gauntlet 2 back in 2005 and the discount was you don't have to wait in line, your machine is ready to ship.  I think show crates were easier to break down too, but its been a while.

we don't do any extra discount due to the show. Think about it. We typically do 18 shows per year and the show discount would usually run for two weeks after the show. In reality what you get at a show is the same as you would two weeks before the show. On introductory product there is introductory pricing and no additional discount. This is M&R. I can't speak for others.

Just out of interest. Does the customer approach seller or does the seller approach the customer? How does it work usually?
