It's so much less work than moving around the country and loading and unloading the van. You have less breakage, less travel expense, less wear and tear, and the post office supplies your mailing boxes. The Neevels specialize in 1930's Jade-ite glass, early kitchenware, and the other smalls they also sell now on eBay. They used to sell a lot of furniture at shows, but they don't on eBay because of crating and shipping problems, but Teddi Neevel said they are now working on a plan to sell furniture on eBay too. Shops, fields, and shows are incredibly full these days, and everyone is incredibly friendly.
Collectors just plough in anywhere and keep going.
You never know where you'll meet your best new dealer connection or your best new treasure. Home cooking and baking abound at stands and sit-down tents along the road in Bouckville and at the bigger shows. Jock Hengst even throws in a Dixieland band in the largest of his three eating tents. The 1850 Landmark Tavern at the far end of Bouckville is a fine country inn that serves first-rate dinners on white tablecloths in lovely dining rooms. Parking is free at all the shows and roadside dealers, or you may pay a nominal fee to stop in somebody's private field when you want to walk around the Bouckville village shops or view the temporary displays along the road.
