The shows that plugs can be purchased at are very expensive for the vendors/builders, I wouldn't be suprised if they cost $500 or more for the booth space alone (That would be the cost for renting the space for displaying their product...lets say 10'X10'=$50 per square foot for one day). This cost prohibits many of the small high quality basement type builders that have a limited amount of plugs that they can sell.
Last year was my first and I didn't know any plugs could be purchased (read there would be NO SELLING ALLOWED) but did really appreciate Mikecc being there. I am not saying that there should be alot of comercial plugs available but building supplies and maybe some of the small builders might be ok.
I know if I could have bought some of the plugs I saw I would have. Also I am not real familiar with Plug Hoeing and I don't have enough confidence in my plugs to even think about it; and was saddened that I could not purchase some of the amazing plugs I saw and very much desired.
