I was able to get into the dealer buildings on Sunday just fine, snooping
around for a good deal on a 196.

All them said they'd wouldn't give a firm price til monday. They wanted to
check the competition...

Yeah, that was my experience, too. Before the show starts, the vendors are
all psyched up and cocky -- and who can blame them? Why should they give
anyone a price right before 800,000 people descend on them?

Don't expect any "deals" until mid-week. And then don't expect any really
good deals on the "hot items" (whatever they are -- it changes every year).

However, if you're looking for something that's both (a) well represented by
many vendors, and (b) not "the new thing" on the field this year (like, for
instance, and JPI EDM-700 engine analyzer) you can expect to find really
good deals in OSH.
