Well said Matt. I too spent about 1 hour at the Dome. Spent about $250 on models and tools. It takes more time going through that place.
I know to skip all the scales I don't model and also all the HO stuff I don't buy (read - Athearn BB, Tyco, AHM, Model Power, etc).

In my case, I went to the Greenburg show in Rochester earlier this month to get a couple of new books. I did spend some time photographing a couple of layouts after purchasing the books (because it's always chase day!) and chatting with a local shortline engineer, then left the show for good after about 45 minutes. I don't have a layout, so those products for sale aren't of major interest to me. Hopefully, all of the vendors did well but I also hope they can understand the majority of the patrons have limited budgets and/or time.
