There is no selling. Trading is encouraged.

You don't have to wait for someone to ask to trade with you, go ahead and ask if you see stuff you like.
Every year the subject of selling comes up it seems, either before, after or during plugfest. Sponsors of the site who speak to JohnR ahead of time should be the only ones selling stuff. This plugfest began as a lure building get together and has gained attendance ever since it began. In the beginning a few guys brought some supplies and stuff as a convenience, but the spirit of Plugfest was never to become a flea market free for all selling plugs, it's for trading and learning , conversing, eating and general having a good time with others that enjoy the hobby of making our own lures to fish with. I personally have not witnessed selling in or outside of plugfest, although it has gone on, I am not the plug police and can't enforce something like that. All I can do is ask that you do not sell or try to buy stuff unless it's a sponsor. Thanks for understanding. Plugfest is what you guys make it. If anyone else would like to make a thread next year explaining it all over again for new people, please feel free to. |

That would really suck Steve because your presence is wanted - always has been.
Unfortunately we can't run this as refined and precise with all of the cookie cutter things everyone wants and satisfy everyone. This is a shoestring effort with a few people primarily helping out. Would gladly wish to see others involved in making it better than complaining about it.
