"NOYB" wrote in message ... wrote in message ups.com... One reason the Seattle show posted record ticket sales is that two previous shows where combined into a single event (for the second year in a row). The comparisons are being made between the combined shows and the old records for the indoor show only. The gate was actually down a little bit at the outdoor show. Two of the ten days were essentially "rained out." But it isn't the number of people who show up that make a successful show, it's the number of people who show up and who are willing to write a big check. The boat business is *very good* right now in the Seattle area. Several regional builders are sold out until 2006. Selling well: boats under 20 feet and boats over 45 feet. (lots of activity under $50k, lots of activity over $500k, a surprising number of buyers in the 7-figure range.) The well off have plenty of money to spend, the middle class is still more or less MIA I've got news for you: The middle class are the folks buying the $50k and under boats. Indeed. And I would guess under $200k also. |
