Don't paint too negative of a picture. IMHO, in the A,B,C and D
buildings,
*most* of the vendors are aviation related. Now, the fly market is
another
story, mostly junk, but some good deals on junk! :-o)



Plenty of junk sellers in the inside buildings as well. However, the Fly
Market is a wretched hive of scum and villainry.


Them's fighting words. The Navy Recruiting Command was invited to
Oshkosh at the last minute last year, and originally we were going to
have the booth out next to the Blue Angels sim ride at KidVenture. We
squawked a little, and they agreed to put us at some prime real estate
in...Flymart. So I spent a few days watching some guy sell ladders to
unsuspecting plane people. I was witness to an almost fist fight when I
guy who sells spring loaded awnings for chairs had a difference of
opinion with one of his former distributors. (I was there for other
things, but hung my hat at the recruiting booth).

Ignore the total number of people coming through, and ask yourself,
"What percentage of people on this planet who would buy my product come
to Oshkosh?" Probably non-negligible.

Looking at your web site, I think your products fits into Halls A, B, C
or D nicely.
