    And you have one less sale at the end of the day and one more piece
    of inventory to wrap up and take home. I would rather take less of a
    profit to make a sale and have a few more dollars in my pocket. At
    show's you usually only have one chance with a customer to make a
    sale. Of course there are always the "be backs" and in my experience
    about 10-20% come back and make a purchase. It's not like a brick and
    mortar jewelry store where you are trying to build a customer
    relationship for future sales. Granted you get some repeat customers
    who will remember your work and have your card and call you but the
    majority of sales at shows are a onetime impulse purchases.
