    First you have to make sure that it truely a biz wholesale show. It
    seems that there are a great number of whole--sale shows that are
    being put on like the traveling artist shows.or other shows that
    tout low low prices. If you see it in a general publication, local
    newspaper, TV or on the bull board at the grocery store. Or if you
    can pay a fee to get in, if you don't have biz papers. It probably
    not a true wholesale/trade show. As to what you need, It will depend
    on the local you live in. Minimum will be a state/local sale tax
    license. Assumed name papers county/state/ local as are required. (
    If the name of the biz is different than yours) So if you owe taxes
    they can track you down LOL. Letterhead/biz cards. These should get
    you in almost most shows. And also most sellers that will send you a
    catalog price list with their knock off per cents and requirements.
    For a retail outlet in a locality you will need a pile of permits,
    licenses and inspections (fees). Just think of the weaselly politico
    you elected last time.

    And don't be shocked at the fact that some things in the jewelry/art
    metals field aren't wholesale are the suppliers. Its just the way
    things are done and have been done in alot of fields. Hope this is of
    some help.

Been there, was going to do that, but didn't
