Oh Yeah - try being a vendor at hamfests
Add em up
Travel $30 to $300
Booth cost Typical $250 - Some fests charge extra for power
Hotel costs $120 to $350
Food $45

The small item vendor has to sell a ton of stuff just to break even

At one ham fest I guy offered me 1/3 price for a book
I relied "Which Chapter do you want?"
