I like the idea of the move to Orlando as that would benefit me personally! LOL However having "private pros" having access to all the makers for a whole day would probably spell the end of the show. We already see some of the resellers out there who get early access to makers' tables (some of whom have no issue selling to these folks) and so that knife you paid all the expenses traveling to the show hoping to purchase is now posted up on Arizona Customs, or EBossHoss at a significant markup Friday by lunchtime. I know people who would stop attending if they knew that there was zero chance at getting their hands on a desirable knife at table price because
flippersresellers had already swooped in and picked all the tables and makers clean of the best knives.
I would probably stop going myself if I knew there was going to be no chance at picking up something good.
