    Speaking as an ex-trader at these fairs, I can say that 90% of the traders had shops and business units operating normal opening hours. The other 10% were weekend traders such as my self.
    Whilst I only had to worry about covering my fuel & table costs, the full time traders also had to factor-in wages as well.

    Online trading has become very easy to do with sites such as ebid, ebay, Amazon and others. Above all, you can sell to anyone anywhere in the world & ship goods during the normal working day so no extra staffing outlay to factor in.
    Never Knowingly Understood.

    There is something to being able to inspect the products and have the conversation with people though.

    You can do that all day long at the computer fair.
    Understeer is when you hit a wall with the front of your car
    Oversteer is when you hit a wall with the back of your car
    Horsepower is how fast your car hits the wall
    Torque is how far your car sends the wall across the field once you've hit it
