I personally find the "having" more satisfactory, lol, John

No I don't. Nor do I think they should request a free ride knowing their spouse wouldn't let them go to the show in the first place and definitely no-no an a/c purchase.

I'm simply stating this in very inconsiderate of people with no intent of purchase in these circumstances, which out number actual purchases dramatically.                                                              John

Do you really think their spouse would let them go to the show if they told them up front that it might result in a $150K purchase?  Yeah.  Right...

I agree Helen, and I was waiting on you to comment, been there done that and waited weeks on end for results. My point was, bad WX, poor economy, too close to Sun N Fun and other events when WX is more favorable.  

Smart buyers check with their spouses first...

Or, if they, the smart buyers, are the primary breadwinner and decision maker, "kiss them goodbye" lol. It is a remarkable event when a good salesperson and rep spends hours upon hours with a potential customer including a demo flight only to hear "I gotta check with so and so and maybe I'll get back to you". Makes one wonder why they don't discuss the possible purchase of an A/C before the free ride. Anyway, everyone I've discussed this problem with agrees with the odds are very poor that a sale is the result of time spent, especially at an event such as Sebring given all the negative factors I mentioned earlier.

Sales generally materialize a week or two after the show.  Smart buyers check with their spouses first...
